starts a brand new war and creates a brand new problem for absolutely no reason, lmfao

A major housing bill that would discourage building rental homes “reflects a peculiar type of American populism that combines a right-wing fetish for suburbia’s homeowner society with a left-wing distrust of investment capital,” Henry Grabar argues.

New video. It’s like when I upload a YouTube short, except this one’s long. I think you’ll be pretty shocked at just how absurd this truly law is 👀

POV: You're watching the greatest and biggest transit youtuber ever whoop my ass at air hockey

I think i got flashed by an Oakland speed camera on MLK and 46th-ish, which is cool, but im 100% sure i was going like ~20 MPH, which is weird.

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

Great episode about Senakw www.npr.org/2026/03/27/n...

Central Valley supercommuters didn’t go away w WFH; actually, their situation is worse than ever, w Trump, Iran, gas prices and the Bay Area’s ongoing inability to solve either its housing or transpo problems www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Berkeley (like a lot of cities I think) continues to see crime reducing after the pandemic spike.

This is the first photo show I've ever curated! Come to the opening party in Oakland Chinatown on April 3 www.ebpco.org/calendar/ope...

The internet is trying so hard to make me know or care about who or what cladvicular is

Paused on a random frame of Aladdin and homie's got a dump truck, damn!

Not to downplay this but your job site being riddled with bullet holes or some political vandalism more often than not is working at Planned Parenthood. The PP in even hippie Santa Cruz would get hit with this shit all the time.

Jesus. Illness & injury is always terrifying but its jarring when it hits young people. I dont follow SF politics much but as a Joe Eskanazi reader i felt Fielder repped the Mission very well and was very responsive to my friends who lived there. I hope she recovers missionlocal.org/2026/03/sf-j...

Hard for me to care when all these voters will just memory hole voting for him

Bro the N Judah has stops every other block wtf.

Made it. And theres TONS of people at Sunset Dunes.

Podcars are a good shittest for how dumb your city government is. Santa Cruz County should be more concerned about making the 17 bus run more than once a hour.

listen man when the nerds tried to talk about this stuff you said you want to shove our heads down the toilet because something something austerity

I can run errands in the time it takes for Muni Metro to open the doors

About as hot as the Sunset District will get for a while so ill finally see Sunset Dunes

Not MissionLocal citing that Stroper working paper hypothesis, oh my god.

The fastest growing and shrinking counties in the US www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Gutter racism. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

Massive win! Economic suicide!

American firefighters will go to the mat to oppose a four-story, eight-unit apartment building with one stair because the sprinklers could fail, and then tell you with a straight face that this is safer if that happens

It is so weird as a Berkeley boy booking hotels in China and seeing so many references to "People's Park" lol.

i can't believe a representative of the Vatican openly pondering whether someone should be burnt at the stake in 2026 and my answer is, "Yes absolutely, do it slow." legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2026/03/1...

I think Claude will just mostly re-define what a junior dev is.

i don't much like platner for the same reason i have rapidly come to dislike annie andrews and the same reason i don't like newsom — values matter, and throwing out homophobic or misogynistic or transphobic "jokes" display contempt for the values the overwhelming majority of party voters live by

This is partially true but not related to cameras. Speed limits are set ridiculously low on roadways because its more politically palpable to do that after an accident or tragedy rather than to have traffic engineers shrink roadways and actually do shit to make drivers go slower.

This is just an incredible visual model of what being on X is like

Remember all that fearmongering that Guerilla Cafe was being replaced for a new apartment thanks to Corridor Upzoning that made zero sense since its 1700 sqft lot and downtown is in the midst of a cafe boom? Yeah, it was false. Its being replaced with another cafe called Dera.

Made very few changes to the latest build and was thinking maybe I'll be able to ship this one without incrementing the shame version (last number in a version number) and 2 minutes into testing, it's already getting bumped.

Very interesting new research on how new housing impacts rents in other housing nearby. Suggests that the impact varies tremendously based on whether existing housing is new or old!

Was pretty stupid to witness the 2024 election show extreme educational polarization in not only votes but news sources, with liberals using print media the most, and then billionaire paper owners began shitting on liberals en-masse. Fox News grampa and Asmongold stream watchers aren't reading WaPo

this is my district, i voted today, the Democrat was outspent literally and this is not an exaggeration 10x to 15x by the Republicans who were running TV ads every 15 minutes of the county sheriff saying the D candidate was a literal criminal while the D campaign couldn't even afford yard signs

I support Mayor @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social and @cecilialunaparra.bsky.social's measure to cut out Flock. I'm supportive of the tech, meter maids and squad cars use them, as a way to discourage deadly police chases. But the Flock company has privacy holes. www.berkeleyscanner.com/2026/03/24/c...

A new HCD advisory memo clarifies various aspect of SB 79's coverage. In a new blog post, we explain some of the key details. The law takes effect on July 1. cayimby.org/blog/sb-79-i...

Imagine dying in war solely because Trump was mad the black president stopped Iranian nuclear enrichment.

Another Middle Housing proposal in Berkeley. This time over a parking lot. I think the most dense proposal so far. sfyimby.com/2026/03/prel...

I cannot imagine trying to deal with all of this, I'll tell you what.

As i said, i support historic preservation when whats being preserved is usually rare and/or not obstructing a social need. Anna Head School's shingled architecture is not rare in Berkeley, and this many student beds is a major social need. www.berkeleyside.org/2026/03/23/a...

California is cultivating a landed aristocracy defined by inherited wealth — especially in its wealthiest areas. The exception? Counties where more housing was built.

As a retired airline Captain I flew into LGA and NY airspace hundreds of times. It is some of the world’s busiest airspace. To have only one ATC in the tower at LGA is criminal negligance. Not only is the airspace crowded and chaotic, so are the ground operations. Sean Duffy’s FAA owns this 100%

The insane amount of hate Chappell Roan gets for just being a famous woman that no male celeb would get is just insane. The worse part is thinking about how unchecked this shit was in the 1990s and 2000s. At least social media exists to push back at this now.

Nah it hasn't but its a good lesson that reporters dont understand what studies are and how they differ from opinion articles in academic journals. Also reporters don't feel housing requires academic and credentialed opinion like other topics.

We should rename Cesar Chavez Park to Dolores Huerta Park at the Berkeley Marina. Also we should commission at the marina a monument to the valley's farmworkers who feed us in the Bay Area. @adenaishii.bsky.social @jessearreguin.bsky.social

Hotels in Mainland China are so cheap, oh my god! Motel 6 in the US is more expensive than these high-end hotels.
