Teach the Controversy

Standard Time is a disaster for cycling.

when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

Mergers and acquisitions are so interesting

This, but replace "cargo bikes" with "bigger cars"

Anyone who thinks height limits, setbacks, lot coverage, design standards, or stairway/elevator regulations, etc., aren't "zoning" is lost in the sauce.

> internalization of agglomeration externalities. The agglomeration we should be focusing on is centered over 50 miles away, my dude.

You’re not gonna talk about that other 25% of industries, what makes them different, or how that can inform industrial policy overall? Instead you’re gonna talk about individual choices like it’s some kind of scalable solution?

Miller is a dumb racist, but I wonder what people would think if he had said something like “we shouldn’t allow migrants from countries where people have elevated blood lead levels” like is the case for Afghanistan.

December 10 at 6pm @eastbayforeveryone.bsky.social will be showing off single stair design competition entrants from the Bay Area along with HAC in Downtown Oakland. actionnetwork.org/events/12102...

“A NEW ERA” for ways of knowing and being 😊

stop using the phrase “more affordable housing” instead use “more-affordable housing” or “more affordable-housing” depending on what you mean. (you should know the distinction.

What did you think "Digital Transformation" meant? Vibes? Actually, yeah.

Remember when this guy used to put effort into trying to persuade people that their policies based on populist prejudices were wrong? Me neither.

I am a proud taxpayer for @sfbayferry.com

New ep! We talk to Sy Adler about his 1980 manuscript about the birth of BART, and what we can learn about intergovernmental politics, real estate development, land value capture, and much, much more LISTEN >>>>>>>>>>>> seethecat.org/ep/2025-10-3...

I think the Also TM-B Bike is good, especially considering that Rivian typically sells 7,000lb behemoths.

Good early reviews of The Land Trap by @birdyword.bsky.social Includes praise from @jerusalem.bsky.social and others.

re: @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social

Wtf?

The only solution to the CA Forever/East Solano/SR12 Corridor Project Discourse ✂️ 🗺️

So what exactly do NIMBYs mean when they say SB 79 will make them “lose what makes their neighborhoods so incredibly special”??

While he's less of a prominent Poaster than other members of the @cayimby.bsky.social team, @aceckhouse.bsky.social put in WORK managing the policy development of SB 79 and he deserves more public recognition than he'll get.

We need a movie that is part Rashomon, part Metal Wolf Chaos.

I know @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social would have signed SB79 by now.

Many have been asking me, and today I am announcing that I am endorsing @bettyyeeforca.bsky.social for @governor.ca.gov

After watching the interview, it’s clear---Katie Porter doesn’t have the temperament to be Governor. As a candidate, I welcome the hard questions---the next governor must be accessible and transparent. No place for temper tantrums. No place for dodging the public’s right to know.

We are TRUE Betty Yee Patriots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spend $11 Billion to Build a 20 Mile Freeway Viaduct vs Just Go Around

Save the date: our next monthly meeting is in-person on Wednesday, October 8 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. We are gathering in downtown Oakland at 1111 Broadway, 2nd floor. We'll also be broadcasting on Zoom.

If @gavinnewsom.bsky.social doesn’t sign SB79, then he’s not really serious about California’s future representation in Congress and we all should just vote No on Prop 50 in that case.

Please call the Governor and ask him to sign SB 79! (916) 445-2841

Two things can be true at the same time: - building more homes lowers rental prices - being *able* to build more homes increases property values

I think we as a society need to stop with the jokes which equate being a nerd with being autistic.

[Insert “Chad Barbara Lee vs Virgin Karen Bass” Meme Here]

Anybody care to imagine how recall elections might work in a municipality with multi-member proportional legislative districts? Like what if the Sunset district in SF had 3 supervisors? Would it take a 75% vote to recall one of them?

These last few days have made me really glad that i decided not to buy the Abundance book after all.

This seems more like a reflection of the politics of the kind of people who would bet on something like this than it is a “wisdom of the crowd”-type thing.

SB 79 — our bill allowing more housing near public transportation — just received final approval by the Senate & IS ON ITS WAY TO THE GOVERNOR! This bill is a huge step for housing, transit & climate action. Thank you colleagues!

[BILL ALERT] SB 79, which broadly legalizes more homes near high quality transit stops, has passed the Senate floor! The bill is now on the Governor’s desk. Learn more: cayimby.org/legislation/...

SB 79, our bill to legalize townhomes and midrise apartments near the highest-quality transit, is up for its final vote in the Senate TODAY. Calling your state Senator and asking them to support the bill will make a real difference; and it only takes a minute with our tool. Let's get this done!

His events were never “good-faith debate”. They were traveling propaganda factories full of cherry-picked statistics and “flood the zone”-style rebuttals meant to shut down any meaningful discourse. Meant to produce a genre of “LIB GETS OWNED” short-form brain rot videos.

just saw this great video by a guy called @gavinnewsom.bsky.social calling on the Governor of California to approve funding to save bay area public transit from service cuts. it's a great idea, the governor should take this guy's advice! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK8l...

New ep! We have on Daniel Wortel-London to discuss "The Menace of Prosperity: New York City and the Struggle for Economic Development, 1865–1981"; 100 years of urban economic thought, with a spotlight on the georgist movement (and much more) >>>>> LISTEN: seethecat.org/ep/2025-08-2...

Happening this Monday 👇🏻

Please call your CA Assemblymember today and ask them to vote for SB 79, which faces a critical vote. The reason we ask you to do this is because it works. findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

Mention how bad it is to have this big underused surface parking lot in NYC and that it should be housing (any housing) and I’ll send you a hundred bucks.
