I would have pre-cerified plans available. You want to build a home/office/ADU? You can pick from a set of approved plans known to meet code. If you select from one of those you have building approval. No meetings. No individual review. Don't block custom work but give people an easy path as well.

Like when DSA laid off staff to close a budget hole and the union claimed it was a CBA violation? Seeing a socialist org take the position that unionized staff needs should take a back seat to management needs was eye opening. Supporting all unions except their own.

Part of being a YIMBY that’s 100% core to me is people may propose things I don’t like or even things that temporarily inconvenience me and that is okay because morally, the balance is that we need more homes more than we need to cater to my preferences

A new bilingual school is opening up in SF. I decide to check it out. Annual Tuition: $52,000. 😱 Starting to understand why parents are always broke.

This is why making fun of ICE works so well. They're all like mini-Cartmans demanding respect and freaking out when they don't get what they think they are owed.

In Chicago, a Nativity scene features a zip-tied baby Jesus and Roman centurions in "ICE" vests. Near Boston, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus are absent from a Nativity scene, replaced with a sign reading "ICE was here." It's all part of growing religious blowback to ICE. religionnews.com/2025/12/05/i...

ICE Nativity scenes: Churches reimagine Christmas story amid deportations
(RNS) — 'We know that Jesus was born into a Roman imperial occupation, and pretty much immediately becomes a refugee in Egypt, has to flee and faces political violence,' the Rev. Michael Woolf said.

We saw a district in Tennessee engineered to be R+22 swing to be ~R+13 this week. I'm betting a bunch of those new districts in Texas don't have that kind of margin to lose. When we empower Texans to vote, the GOP bites it, so let's take care of Texans, y'all.

Trump's 2020 election voter fraud pardon is so broad, it may cover a Republican who illegally cast an extra ballot for Trump. DOJ says Trump didn't mean it like that, but plaintiff (correctly IMO) says the plain language of pardon controls and can't be delegated. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

DOJ claims it has the power to decide who gets Trump’s sweeping 2020 pardon
The Justice Department is deciding who's covered by extremely vague pardons.

Difficult art can still be good art. Requiem for a Dream is both a fantastic movie about addiction and a disturbing movie about addiction. It would have been a shame if it never got distribution simply because it was disturbing.
Requiem for a Dream movie poster.

The top half is a close up on an eye. The iris is bluish green. It is so close you can see the blood vessels in the eye ball.

The bottom half is a woman in a red dress standing at the end of a dock, looking out at the ocean. The sky is clear blue.

The title of the movie is in a black bar in the middle of the poster. Most of the text is white, but the word Dream is in red.

Wow. It appears to be legal in Utah to shoot someone who is openly carrying, even if they do not pose a threat and are not pointing their gun at you. #2A
Gill, a Democrat, noted state law permits people to openly carry guns in public spaces and called Utah’s self-defense law “robust,” saying together, those factors can leave innocent bystanders vulnerable to being shot. 

Alder is not charged with wounding Gamboa, Gill said, because Utah law shields him from such liability.

If convicted in Ah Loo’s death, he faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Jesus fuck. We already have the data. Waymos overall safety record is way above human drivers. And unlike human taxi drivers Waymos defer to pedestrians and cyclists in ways that other don’t. And I’m speaking as someone who as ridden the cars and biked SFs streets.

It’s wild how people will instantly rally against Waymo but we never see the same level of invective when human drivers kill people. “It was an accident.” 1. Keep your pets leashed. 2. If local politicians treated human drivers killing people like this we would already have much safer streets.
On Sunday night at around 8 p.m., a Waymo ran over a small, unleashed dog in San Francisco's Western Addition, the company has confirmed.After the incident, the Mission District's supervisor, Jackie Fielder, called for state legislators to let voters decide on a county-by-county basis whether they want autonomous vehicles on their streets.

How about that? Even with SF's limited upzoning (still doesn't meet state requirements), the city economist says rents will go down. The law of supply and demand does apply to housing. Downzoning and blocking housing just puts extra $$$ in the hands of landlords. missionlocal.org/2025/10/sf-u...
missionlocal.org
S.F. upzoning would cut rents just $75 to $125 a month, city economist says
Citywide zoning changes would have modest effects on housing construction and affordability, but big boost to GDP
