More than a decade, I got a call from Fox News about appearing as a talking head on some segment about crime or whatever. "I'm sorry, I only do that with news organizations."
"We are a news organization."
Dead silence. And I stayed quiet until they hung up.

I celebrate practical YIMBYs for trying to find politically feasible ways forward (ADUs, triplex laws, etc) but on the merits we should adopt really extreme solutions on housing just like people are allowed to build however many refrigerators they like as long as they are safe.
If this piece offends you, then you are the intended audience:
“This is not the condition of life under capitalism, this is life itself. The impulse to restrict it to a problem of capitalism is itself part of the fearful rejection of the task of living.”
I hope dean keeps this crying up because once SF fails to submit a housing element by next year that abides by federal fair housing standards their density zoning is nullified so any project with 20% or greater low rent units at any height or density gets approved.

To be less polite, the BA.5 scaremongering was bullshit and you should place less trust in the people who engaged in it going forward.
