My 7yo is an absolute maniac in mini metro.
(I realize he’s also threatening LA and he deserves credit for that)
You are probably right about that. My first assumption was “those are republican parts of the state and that’s why he’s enforcing housing law there instead of in places where it makes sense.” The prison correlation may be a coincidence or may be part of why the places are so red in the first place.
The former state prison in California City is now an ICE detention center.
Half or more of these jurisdictions include or are near major prisons with chronic staffing problems. For whatever that’s worth.
Get a fucking grip. It’s fine. Everyone will be just fine when this is built.
Hey look, someone with dignity.
Hey @sierraclub.org, you own this. Absolutely impossible to take the national org seriously when your local chapters are fighting farmworker housing on the grounds that five (5) stories is too tall. Grow a fucking spine and denounce this shit. Now.
No! MORE forever wars…
No one: *
Cargo Bike People:
I suspect a wildly disproportionate share of that time is Muni, not Bart. Getting from market st to dogpatch etc. is simple but just painfully slow (for no apparent reason)
Who was Epstein’s SEQRA lawyer? The people deserve to know.
Update: even worse looking south.
Taken from BART just now between Ashby/macarthur. It’s gross out there.
That’s nothing compared to the gushers-era innovation of the early 90s. Like comparing the revolution that was indoor plumbing to Siri in terms of impact on human wellbeing.
The blue book can never be wrong, it can only be wronged.
“And like I said…”
Here's some legislation I'm almost surprised not to have heard any member of Congress propose yet:
Citizen Kavanaugh Stop Compensation Act:
For every hour or part thereof, beyond the first 30 mins, that a U.S. citizen is detained by ICE, that citizen is paid $500. Paid from the ICE budget.
Bottle of wine meme. Top: Thanks for having us at your lovely home. Middle: Look I just think we need to add more housing in the places where people want to live, like near jobs, schools, and transit Bottom: Single family zoning was explicitly invented as a facially race-neutral policy to preserve residential segregation and "local control" is the "states' rights" of our time.
Happy Thanksgiving
As a reminder the @housingdefense.bsky.social annual event (our Holiday Soirée) is tomorrow night (11/20/25) from 5 to 8 PM at the University Club at 800 Powell St in San Francisco. All YIMBYs are invited! Tickets available here:

Totally. It’s a 4+1 in the style of this (and I’m fine with it):
Article doesn’t exist, just clickbait for the feed. Nothing but Feed, all the way down.
Wonderful news for those who care about fixing California's brutal housing shortage, bolstering transit ridership, and meeting the state's climate goals!
Lots of excitement over SB 79—understandably. I would add, every single bill California YIMBY sent to the governor was signed today. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/10/g...

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,
imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off
As institution after institution caves in to him, he’s emboldened to escalate — now seeking to bankrupt the NY Times for not endorsing him or giving him favorable coverage.
Bending the knee to an authoritarian doesn’t make him stop. It makes him more aggressive.
We must fight back. No more caving.
