This is rich. Connie Chan says she “built real affordable housing, not the Sacramento version that destroys our neighborhoods.”

She points to new affordable housing on Geary: housing that she didn’t build but that *was* built using “Sacramento version” housing laws & $52M in state funds. 🧵

Shit, I’m an over 50 Chinese American YIMBY who lives in the NIMBY paradise of Laurel Village/Jordan Park. Every time I get an email from the neighborhood association, I call my reps and tell them to Manhattanize San Francisco.

*places the "this is not a place of honor" sign on the city of San Francisco and walks into the sea*

Govee makes pretty decent pretty lights (often with local control options).

I take public transportation 95% of the time. I really only do Waymo or Uber if I’m in a hurry so the premium is not that high.

For my tween daughter taking a ride by herself to get across town, I’m willing to pay up to a 500% premium for safety alone.

I’m generally willing to pay +50% the price of a Uber for a driver that won’t try to make small talk, will generally follow traffic rules, and doesn’t require a tip.

lol I'm sorry, but the idea that Chinese groceries are "high quality" is fucking hilarious. China has a famously bad food storage chain and the Chinese press and public are full of constant complaints! Food poisoning/diarrhea are so common that they're a regular work excuse.
