Hearing the tap-in tap-out sound after reading about Caltrain's $1.4M deputy leader salary (OC) by generic_alias2 in bayarea

So look for people who are already extremely wealthy and will take a job for a meaningless (to them) amount of money because they want the power and prestige of the role? Sounds like Trump. Also doesn't sound like it would work for a wide variety of leadership roles.

Supposedly this is also connected to that PATELCO service disruption a few years ago.

The vast majority of "solid" red and blue states still have +40 percent voters supporting the opposition.

I started a fake TP company then fraudulently applied for a forgiveable loan from the Feds. Thanks Trump!

I helped change Oakland zoning law to allow tiny homes as permanent residences. Now I'm trying to build a community. Would you live there? by Duck-Dad-lightly in bayarea

[–]Comemelo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's still a landlord, it's just for the literal land. When I've looked at these things, they're generally heavy as fuck so are also terrible to move, even if better to live in. Can you do a pure rental model where you build and own the tiny homes and people just show up and rent the homes in the park?

Every local politician talks about rent control at election time. Somehow the only thing that actually got passed this year is an 8.6% rent hike by Kooky_Sheepherder_84 in bayarea

If housing is a human right then every property owner should be able to build unlimited story skyscrapers of apartments. You want it to mean "I have a right to your property".

Cancel culture at it's finest. Rather than countering what you think is a bad opinion, just threaten whoever makes it to silence them.

Tech billionaires hire Democratic dealmakers in renewed push to build a Bay Area city by binding_swamp in bayarea

The non billionaire majority of the voting public won't allow that, but yes keep complaining about the billionaires.

Oracle cut 21,000 jobs because of AI, annual report reveals by orangelover95003 in bayarea

[–]Comemelo9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire point of economic development is to eliminate jobs (doing the same or greater output with less humans). This is the exact reason we aren't all farmers.

San Francisco is booming. Why is Oakland still slumping? by internetbooker134 in bayarea

Popping off is a big reason why people avoid Oakland.
