If the building trades unions think it will work somehow for their members for them to palpate the Mayor's taint, they're wrong but I guess they can give it a shot. They just discredit themselves by retreading garbage arguments like this. I can't take them seriously on other matters either.

"Neverending flow of money with no accountability..." as opposed to the famously accountable market rate developers? How much accountability is there for how the City spends money on police? What are we even talking about?

"Doesn't require a single unit to be built." Perhaps, but is that bad? If the money is used to buy existing buildings to make them permanently affordable, that is good for increasing access to affordable housing. The money would actually go further & cover more units this way than new construction.

Drawing the distinction between "nonprofit clients" and "everyday San Franciscans" is a racist dog whistle. It implies that poor people are not ALSO San Franciscans. I guess the Building Trades think the only legitimate housing is by capitalists for capitalists.

San Francisco voters get the chance to pass Prop I this election, which will dedicate $ to social housing. Of course, our Boy King Mayor doesn’t like it because it upsets developers. The sf building trades unio s put out a mailer with some gross arguments, carrying water for the Mayor. #YesonI

I just donated to my favorite political organization and you should too. I hate giving money to politicians and party funds that waste it on consultants. I give to @movementvoter.bsky.social that funds long-term organizing for power and winning elections. movement.vote

Yes of course. That's literally necessary to build sectoral bargaining power. The union has to engage in collective bargaining at the scale of the employer to be able to win.

Nato Green @natogreen.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Yeah it’s certainly true that we can be reluctant to pull punches with politicians we endorsed. Like right now we’re wrestling with striking Oakland when we just elected Barbara Lee the Mayor.

I'm head of collective bargaining for a large municipal union in Northern California. I think unions in general mirror their industries, so public sector unions unthinkingly ingest a host of dysfunctional traits from the civil service itself.

Nato Green @natogreen.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

I'm not saying my experience is universal, but that this dynamic can only arise under certain conditions and isn't inherent to all unions. Yes there is a baked in tendency towards being risk-averse, but I think that's more inherent to institutions than unions per se.

Nato Green @natogreen.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

As a 30 year union organizer, I disagree with this. I have never encountered a boss that wanted to suppress rival slates or that bosses give sweetheart contracts to protect incumbent union leadership. Never.

TW: sexual assault. If you're not on other platforms, you might have missed that comedians Dauood Naimyar & Jay Rich have been accused of rape in the wake of the #iamjanedoe phenomenon. They both are or were Bay Area comedians. Solidarity with the women who came forward. No peace for rapists.

It's classic Newsom--taking a bold symbolic stand on a matter about which he has no actual legal authority. If it's an area he could genuinely make a material difference, he's harder to pin down than an otter coated in lube. That's his entire shtick.

A lot of these shows were good but fell off. Battlestar Gallactica, Homeland, Ozark, dragged on longer than they had story to tell IMO. Also, no Killing Eve?

L.A.'s version of Prop I just allocated another $466m to affordable housing. This is what Lurie is opposing for San Francisco amidst an affordability crisis. Such contempt for low-income and working class San Franciscans.

Screenshot of LA Times
headline: LA approves $466 Million in Affordable Housing Spending
Caption: Los Angeles is set to go on an affordable housing spending spree. The City Council unanimously approved $466.6 million in funding that will be doled out to developers, nonprofits, land trusts and other organizations to build and renovate affordable housing.
The pool of money is the largest in the city housing department's history, topping last year's $387 million.
Roughly 70% of the record budget will come from Measure ULA, the so-called mansion tax, which levies a 4% or 5.5% tax on L.A. property sales above $5.4 million.
Accountability was top of mind during Tuesday's City Council meeting. The spending plan, which now awaits Mayor Karen Bass' approval, includes an amendment requiring the housing department to provide quarterly updates on where the money is going, as well as project timelines and any significant delays or challenges.

San Francisco voting Yes on I gets us a little way in this direction, which we desperately need.

Wow! Apparently my new album "The Darkest Hour" is #1 @bandcamp.com comedy charts. Admittedly, it probably doesn't mean anything, seeing as it implies that I'm ahead of comedy juggernauts like @emilycatalano.bsky.social and @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social which I am definitely not, but a win is a win.
