This is fairly easy to explain -- no one in SF's government outside of Scott Wiener actually has a plan to deal with homelessness and rising housing costs because the real solutions seem to stab at the heart of the warped NIMBY ideology of both the SF left and center-left.

In Europe, you see more apartment buildings with a diversity of unit sizes and more family-sized apts than in the US. It’s not because of higher incomes or bigger families – it’s because single-stair configurations are legal and they don’t have to have double-loaded corridors

It’s hard to pick the worst thing about Twitter, but seeing lots of otherwise rational people sharing contextless 4-second clips from rando accounts is waaaay up there and it’s a weekly occurrence

People say missing school is bad for kids’ education but my six year old has learned phrases like “asymptomatic” and “quarantine” way younger than I did.
