@ekstweets Everyone founder gets invites to BS like that. Unless there is context I’m missing, this doesn’t sound like a race issue.

But the real culprit was toxic cocktails or NIMBYism & hubris. The NIMBYs created an utterly preventable housing crisis that made middle class newcomers feel unwelcome & unattached, because they could not afford homes. Hubris took the technology industry for granted.

Wow wow wow!!! New “neuroprotective” CPR technology is increasing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates by 10x. As a 911 paramedic in NYC, I performed CPR over 500 times. I have resurrected people for short moments many times, but as far as I know, they all died.

@amnamirza The problem with housing in SF is not $$$ but rather political capture of the local govt by landowners that has resulted in zoning laws & regulations which make building housing in Sf nearly impossible
