San Francisco: People say it's unaffordable. But that's not true for anyone with a full-time job. Not far from downtown SF, within walking distance of BART, with a beautiful view, five people could comfortably share this place for $1k/month per person. That's $12k/year per person. Working full time at minimum wage yields over $40k/year. So if anyone tells you SF is not affordable, the truth is they feel entitled to have a place with no roommates, or that they don't want a full-time job. Just about anyone can make it work if they're willing to compromise a bit.

California: Looking for affordable housing? Check out these 4+ bedroom homes on large lots, all for under 400k. Homes this large in San Francisco's foggy Sunset would cost millions. But in Fresno, you'd get 300 days of sunshine a year and live close to the mountains! Contrary to what YIMBYs tell you, nobody has to pay a lot for housing. It's a choice!

San Francisco: Bilal represents the Tenderloin, which is actively under assault by foreign cartels. Yet he rejects help from ICE, a vital resource to fight the invasion. So it's hard not to ask this question: Is he getting a piece of the cartel profits? Why else would he side with the violent gangsters over his constituents?

San Francisco: another YIMBY bro defends the idea of burning down your neighborhoods. This is the strange part: he has no roots here. If he hates it, he can move elsewhere and leave nothing behind. Many of us don't have that luxury. Our families, networks, and investments are here. We have skin in the game that is worth defending.

San Francisco: No matter how much we build, it will NEVER be enough for Scott Wiener and his faction. In NYC, we get a glimpse of the endgame: garbage piles up on the sidewalks, and they're still crying "more housing!" So if we take their vision to its conclusion, this is the future.

Reno has city-level services and amenities, enjoys relatively mild weather compared to most of the nation, and has plenty of natural beauty. Skiing and Lake Tahoe are within an hour's drive. Homes are on sale for $500k that would cost millions in the Bay Area. And no state income tax!!! Looks like a great opportunity for remote workers to live the American Dream!

San Francisco - this what we look forward to if Scott Wiener and the YIMBYs win. To be clear, the developers funding the YIMBY political machine live far away in the suburbs. They want this for YOU, not for themselves.

Downtown San Francisco is littered with vacant apartments. Some are priced below $2,000/month. Two roommates could afford that on minimum wage. I even see one for under $1,000/month! Let's fill these up before forcing towers on people who chose not to live in downtown.

San Francisco - this SOMA apartment building has 102 vacancies. Why are people so eager to build more of this slop if we don't have enough people to fill up current inventory?

Peter nails it: San Francisco can no longer build anything like a subway system because the city is owned by corrupt unions that take all of the money long before anything gets done. This is why California's high speed rail will not be completed in our lifetimes: it's illegal to hire anyone who competes with unions and offers more. The solution: cut the parasites out by deploying mini-AV buses everywhere. Cheap transportation for all!

Subways and light rail are legacy technologies and economically untenable in a modern union building environment. Autonomous buses and cars are the answers. Break the back of SFMTA and implement citywide autonomous mini-buses, buses, and autonomous paratransit.
