NEW EPISODE! We speak to Chris Carrlson, the San Francisco historian and co-founder of the influential magazine Processed World. Also, he helped start a little thing called Critical Mass! Tune in -- you'll be glad you did
Just met Chesa Boudin. I didn't get a picture but I got a business card. Had to talk to him and tell him about how his recall radicalized me. I choked up. I surprised myself. But looking back, I shouldn't have been. What happened to Chesa pulled back the curtain on the evil
God why are there so many of these free market douches in San Francisco? I miss the days when you could throw a rock and hit an artist in S.F.. now itโs shitty libertarians with god complexes

No one except you made that conclusion. Plenty of anti-Zionist Jews are supporting these protests. No, this is about fascist, violent Zionists
YIMBY admits he has a burner account. Both of them are full of psychotic posts. This jerkoff is a dedicated soldier for developers, ready to die for developer profits
Iโm hopeful that the pro-crime, ultra-left, George Soros-backed DA of Alameda County, Pamela Price, will be recalled.
After all, we did so here in SF with a DA just like her, Chesa Boudin.
Weโre working to ensure that peopleโs voice are heard, and crime is once again illegal.
These are more than schools being shut down - theyโre entire support communities.
This is heartbreaking in its chaotic approach and lack of vision.
I will work to prevent the closures that are disproportionately impacting API and immigrant communities and staff up our schools.
@awoell
Actively working to make the city less safe for everyone? That is seriously the stupidest shit Iโve ever heard. No, Chesa cared and tried to help regular people but he pissed off the cops. That was it.
Thanks
@autumnlooijen
. Your horrible recall, a waste of time and money, led to this incompetent superintendent and school closures. Nothing came from your idiocy
Fiscal watchdogs armed with control over spending in San Francisco Unified have compelled the cityโs education officials to make deeper cuts at school sites in an effort to keep the overspending district solvent.
S.F. Supervisor Dean Preston was legally entitled to block conservative journalist Susan Dyer Reynolds from his Twitter account, where she had repeatedly criticized him, a federal appeals court ruled.
I spoke with
@kron4news
about the recent spate of violence in the Mission and how residents are feeling neglected and forgotten by City Hall.
Taking safety seriously means D9 residents should be able to feel safe walking at 5am or 5pm, that shouldnโt be too much to ask.

I spent 10 hours in a "ride-along" with an OPD officer. By the end, my head was pounding.
5 shocking lessons about why it takes cops days to respond to 911 calls:
- Rules prevent police from doing their job. e.g. There's a 19-factor (19!!) test for police to run through their
Boom. San Francisco just passed a first-in-nation ban on rent-fixing software like RealPage, which has been used to hike rents, restrict supply, and increase evictions.
โThis is pro-housing policy. We aim to be a model for the nation.โ
OH Jesus it's just bullshit YIMBY talking points. No, there was literally greedy ass landlords harassing old tenants until they moved out. Evictions increased by 67 percent from 2010-2015. Then everyone jacked the rents. That was the problem.
Yeah, we forced all the artists and creatives out when we refused to build housing and added jobs at an 8x rate to housing units.
So yeah, there's lots of tech people in SF now, you can thank the policies of the SF residents going back to the 1978 downzoning!

Hot water is an amenity. Swimming pools are amenities. A kitchen is an amenity. Windows are an amenity. 2500 square feet is an amenity. High ceilings are an amenity.
Do I want all of these things? Yes. Should I have the option to get an apartment without some for less rent? Yes.
My first conversation on the doors tonight was a mom who lost her son to fentanyl.
She felt abandoned by our Supervisor, DPH, the hospital, by everyone who was supposed to be looking out for her son.
I promised her I would always be accessible, and hold departments accountable.
No you smug asshole thereโs institutions that are beloved and want to be kept around forever because of what they provide to the community. We also donโt want the gross ass bullshit you want to build here
Iโve been feeling down lately all the time and depressed. Itโs like low grade depression or something. It sucks and Iโm not in a good mood most of the time. All these attacks on our elders and then being gaslighted takes its toll on me mentally and being the main admin of this
Hahaha my tweet is doing so well itโs attracting the YIMBY trolls! Hahah none of what they say matter la or is true. To believe someone like Max Dubler is being truthful is like thinking S.F. โmoderatesโ arenโt right wingers in disguise
A new nonprofit envisions turning 1 sq mile in
#SanFrancisco
into a multigenerational 'City Campus' for communal working, experiences & living.
The project would solve shortcomings of S.F.โs โcurrent social infrastructure" its creators say.
@sfchronicle
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. I cannot push this enough. Having tried raising two kids in a two-bedroom (845-sq ft), I can honestly say what YIMBYs push is practically abuse
@YIMBYLAND
Generally the high density urban projects YIMBY's seem to cater to singles and childless professiinal couples.
Real transformation occurs when families give up suburban/exurban lifestyle for urban projects.
Again, this is a huge reason to resist anything Garry Tan and his psycho techie buddies want. They donโt care about community - they care about power
It's up! (Finally). Thank you to

When I was working for KPIX, Vice did that story about how driverless car camera footage was being used by the police. I confirmed it with SFPD and even got a statement, and KPIX REFUSED to do a story,choosing to do a police recruitment story in San Leandro instead
A letter carrier robbed in broad daylight! Soft on crime Alameda County prosecutors have given the bad guys a green light to hurt people. People of the East Bay have never felt as unsafe as they do today and are leaving our community in droves. We need a rule of law.
The Dolores Park hill bomb goes on.
As of 8 pm, hundreds lined Church Street, avoiding the police barricades erected up & down Dolores.
They went fast downhill, crowds hooted & cheered, & police stood watchful nearby.

@doomloopdisp
Youโre so right! Itโs an absolute tragedy that the citizens of San Francisco cared enough about the city they live in that they would recall someone who was actively working to make the city less safe for everyone. Itโs so unfair what they did to himโฆ

YIMBYism bullshit. What Dean got right is that itโs 100% affordable - not luxury, like what YIMBYS want. BTW are you still pretending to be a neuroscientist?
Seeing the massive troll response to Hochul's decision on congestion pricing just proves to me how powerful and well-funded the faux progressive, transit/walk/bike lobby is. It's clearly not paid for by "big Bike" and it's definitely not organic. It's pure real estate astroturf
Dimitry is right. After the new broke, I saw trolls like Brezina attacking Jackie Fielder just because she had a photo with him. She even spoke out about him after she learned the news and they are taking this moment to harass her and other women. Disgusting
A story drops about a heinous man and his terrible deeds. What do Kane and the misogynists do? They find women who were barely connected to this guy and harass them. Attack the rapist? The inept police? The people who knew? No, attack adjacent unknowing women. A new low, Kane:
The president of the San Francisco School Board just resigned and a failed school board candidate was appointed to be the new president. Should SF residents be worried?
One of these days I will tell the entire story about the about this on Doomloop Dispatch. I was working at KTVU at the time and there's a lot that needs to be said about it that hasn't.
We should be building more able family homes. I said it. Working class families should not be forced into two-bedroom apartments. They should also be given the chance to provide generational wealth
@sfchronicle
Too many wealthy tech libertarians moved here and drove up the cost of living in

in pursuit of satisfying their narcissistic urges. The City was great before they arrived.
Aย Waymo robotaxi drove on the wrong side of the road for nearly two blocks in downtown S.F. โ a maneuver the company says the driverless vehicle took to avoid a potential collision.
"I'm sorry but the only way we can make housing affordable is by destroying the legacy of San Francisco's gay rights movement."
These people have a pathological hatred of the past so intense that maybe it should be considered for DSM inclusion.
Seeing so many leftists sad about Hocul canceling congestion pricing bums me out. Seriously, it was pushed by rideshare companies and real estate interests. It would hurt working class folks who canโt live in the city. A better solution for transit funding is taxes
Man, seeing all the youngins embrace YIMBYism and act like ignorant fools has me bummed out about the future. I donโt want my kids around these idiots
Wow this YIMbY troll pretending to be a socialist has some seriously disturbing thoughts about the fight for Peopleโs Park, where people literally lost their lives fighting for a public good. YIMBYs are the worst, but ones that pretend to be socialist are a special kind of evil

@dscot510
and I interview

Most important thing to note in this story: basically ALL the public employee unions came together to fight congestion pricing. The working class does not support it
NEW Episode!
@Dscot510
and I talk with
@leftinthebay
about the history of People's Park. It's both enlightening and frustrating as we learn about how evil the UC system has been to leftist movements.
Patri Friedman, a major Network State figure and Peter Thiel servant, is upset. But my piece was fact-checked and is solid.
And hereโs an important quote from Patri (grandson of famed economist Milton Friedman):
โDemocracy is not the answer.โ
Patri, is this quote accurate?
Again, Conor has no morals. Jackie is now Jacobo's friend? They have one picture together and these bloodthirsty trolls are going to exploit the living crap out of it. The victims don't deserve their stories to be exploited like this but again, Conor and Co. have no scruples
This is one of the most cynical and pathetic attempts to shift blame I've ever seen. Jackie thinks it's SFPD's fault that she's friends with a rapist. Just pathetic.
@bob_busters
@ryangrim
This is the dumbest response to a tweet about political donations Iโve ever seen. Political donations are a matter of public record.
Why do public officials always smile like this, like everything's normal, everything's just great? Don't they realize how much suffering they cause for the population by their greed & corruption, or is it they just don't give a sht?
This is the vanguard against homeless humans
Fettermanโs communications director should be unemployed after this because wtf?
Not saying I disagree with her viewpoint. RatherโฆSince when does the comms director call up reporters to say โI disagreeโ with the principal? Especially on the record?? That is not the job.
@_bnovc
@awoell
No he wasn't. It's just that too many folks were incarcerated and it was during the pandemic. Then you had the shady SFPD refusing to arrest people. It was all a setup after Chesa made it clear he was going after bad cops.

Really, you do education reporting a disservice with fawning profiles like this, where you clearly did just some surface reporting. You don't even mention how they started the recall THE MONTH THEY MOVED TO SF! Shame on you.

Are you a journalist or not? Yes, crime is down 33%, but it doesn't mean crime has stopped. That's just logic. What's more important to you -- reporting the truth or pushing a false narrative?

As I look around at all the half-filled, 1/3-filled new buildings in Berkeley and San Francisco, I read something like this and lose more respect for economists. At this point they're all snake oil salesmen to me
A lot of Anglo countries have failed to build enough housing to keep up with their growing populations. But this is more excusable in New Zealand and Australia, where the population is soaring, than in the UK or the US, where it is not.
