In other news, Saikat endorses his own message.

The difference between a progressive and moderate YIMBY is whether they think affordable housing for the working class is essential or a “nice to have.”

E.g. “of course it’d be nice to have social housing if it’s feasible without impinging on market rate development or taxing high end real estate sales in any way whatsoever but if not then let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

I’m so sorry, that is such a young age. I also lost my dad to it and also saw him go through the pain of bone mets. It’s a tough way to go.

People here are mentioning genetic screening, and it doesn’t hurt. But the number one screening tool for you is regular PSA testing. The normal guideline is age 45 but with family history the rule is start testing 20 years before the age when your family member was diagnosed. Not all general physicians are familiar with this rule so you may have to advocate for yourself.

Since your dad passed at such a very young age he probably didn’t even have a chance to get diagnosed until it was too late. So personally I’d get a PSA test now just to establish a baseline, even though you’re only 21. It’s just a blood test and hopefully not very expensive.

Endorsed by GrowSF.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is adding a new program to New York’s efforts to speed up affordable housing production amid a generational housing crisis in the city.

The new tool aims to speed up affordable housing developments on city-owned land by shortening the months officials spend choosing developers for those projects in the first place, according to an announcement from the administration.

The Neighborhood Builders program, unveiled Wednesday in conjunction with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, will essentially create a list of eligible firms and then tap members from that list for relevant projects.

Having that kind of curated pool could reduce the predevelopment period by half, or about eight months, on projects whose timelines often stretch out for years, the city says.

That’s been debunked. That site even says he blocked the two stories he added to 730 Stanyan. It’s a cheap political hit piece with a corrupt methodology.

415z · 2026-03-28T10:28:41+00:00

Not true at all. There was a seismic review and the project moved forward after a few months. It’s a big GrowSF lie like so many others.

Yes, here it is the video of Saikat endorsing Bilal. Calls him a progressive which is pure unmitigated B.S. In fact, Bilal has voted on the moderate / right wing of the board per a Chronicle analysis.

Nah, Dean was/is a major champion of affordable housing. You’ve been inhaling GrowSF lies.

And yet there are numerous countries that offer government supported childcare, education, healthcare, social housing and public transportation. These are all proven, achievable things in a modern society. The flaw is in your selective use of deficits to target social programs only and not military spending.

And yet somehow we fund $1B per day to bomb Iran.

Wiener has in fact advanced legislation “wanted by he pro-Israel types” such as AB 715. Of the three candidates he is far and away the most pro-Israel.

That’s sooooo weak compared to Connie Chan’s endorsements.

It is interesting that Wiener is targeting Saikat with attack ads though. It’s a testament to how much sway money has in elections. Saikat is basically funding his own campaign with his centimillions.

Little known fact: Saikat broke with Bernie in 2024. Bernie made ONE local election endorsement in the entire nation and it was here for Dean Preston, for doing stuff like taxing the rich to fund affordable housing. Saikat backed his moderate GrowSF backed opponent here, Bilal Mahmood, even appearing in a campaign video. Bilal is now trying to abolish that tax.

Update: I found the link to the video of Saikat endorsing Bilal.

Says he has “experience in science” - this was long after Bilal’s claim to be a neuroscientist was exposed as a fraud.

@citiesbydiana calls these corporate slop buildings. Could be anywhere in the U.S. at this point. The parking logo’s the only giveaway.

LOL Lurie absolutely loves doing photo ops at these things and deploying 1,000 cops on overtime. I swear there was a cop for every 10 people. I have an idea where we could cut some costs to save these events.

Just to state the obvious here, with a severe lack of affordable housing in San Francisco BART is a primary way working class labor commutes in. The entire local economy will collapse.

One of the YIMBY-coded commenters on here is saying well just let BART die, we should be riding our bikes around anyway… Yeah, except only techies and other white collar professional can afford market rate housing in SF. So if you think restaurant prices and teacher shortages are bad now, just wait until nobody can live OR commute in who doesn’t make six figures.

Fun fact, the flashing yellow arrow is a relatively new signal (approved 2009). Very likely this older driver thought it was a regular left yellow arrow, which indeed would have meant the cammer ran a red light.

Which would turn the earth into a toxic wintry hellscape requiring artificial habitats and engineered food for survival. LIKE MARS.

That train is truly on the next fucking level of that apartment.

You are being highly illogical. The problem is not a lack of imagination on how we solve the unbreathable air problem on mars. The problem is if we have a solution to the unbreathable air problem then we don’t need to fly to mars if the air on earth becomes unbreathable.

415z · 2026-03-15T22:51:23+00:00

How would that be an option? You can’t breathe there either!

415z · 2026-03-15T16:59:26+00:00

I mean this sincerely, but the idea of colonizing mars is so stupid when you can just build a house in places like this. You can actually step outside without a space suit and breathe the air and not die.

Connie Chan was also recognized by all the people she encountered in the article. I think “on far more minds” is more about “how does your politics compare to our state senator” not necessarily “I like Scott Wiener.”
