REPORT 🚨: During CNN's Gubernatorial debate, Xavier Becerra stated that his parents "came to this country with $12". This is a line he has repeatedly used during his campaign for Governor.
The only problem? His dad was born IN California, and the timeline is not adding up.🧵

Read this article and you'd have no idea that collisions leading to death or serious injury are led by older drivers.
Young driver crashes kill or seriously hurt more than 23,000 in five years

With CEQA lawsuits curtailed, some cities are expanding fire hazard zones to exempt land from housing laws - San Diego covers 5 times more area than state fire officials recommend.
Ironically, blocking safer apartments pushes more building into riskier wildland edges.

When a new defender of data centers emerges, but it’s unions:
Call it the backlash to the backlash—Unions and building trades say they will oppose candidates attacking data centers, putting Democrats and other long-term allies in a pickle.

These people will come block new housing meanwhile they're paying property tax at less than 10% of market value like it's 1975
Freeloading to the tune of an entire median income

Hundreds of #SanFrancisco Marina residents turned out this evening for townhall on controversial @Safeway housing plan, which would place what for many is an uncomfortably tall, 22 & 18 story project at the low-slung neighborhood’s waterfront.

They’re going to blame tech
But the real cause: extreme restriction of housing supply and subsidized demand
San Francisco now has the lowest apartment vacancy rate among major cities. It’s 2.2%, which is unhealthy & driving up rents. We need more housing of all kinds. We need to continue our work to get it built. And we need to stabilize renters in their homes. sfchronicle.com/realestate/a…

SFO approved Waymo — then buried it at the Rental Car Center. Meanwhile, Uber and Lyft run 800K trips/month from the main garage. Zero safety rationale. Pure incumbent protection.

The policy decision to allow this is basically a straightforward trade where we give away a 2-3yr strategic competitive advantage in exchange for a somewhat frothier stock market in Q1 2026
Good job guys
Reuters: Nvidia placed an urgent order with TSMC as demand for the H200 in China surges.

Which moment in SF politics first made you realize that its flavor of progressivism is often self-interest cynically dressed up as a form of sensitivity?
So many to choose from.
First that comes to mind is when Calle 24 successfully removed traffic calming barriers by claiming that they "triggered the trauma of displacement."

This is why all the anti-solar tweets from @ENERGY are so annoying.
Coal is last century's technology.
Solar is this century's.
