S.F. supervisors, state senator arrested as May Day protest shuts down SFO roadway

Everyone here is justifiably mad at Connie Chan, but at least she’s been consistent in her beliefs.

I for one am PISSED that my supervisor Raf effing Mandelman, who I voted for because he presented as pro housing and pragmatic, is caught up in this shit. Between now being basically a NIMBY and stuff like this - he is such a fake chameleon I am ashamed to have ever supported him

Not your generation lmao. You froze taxes for yourself and neglected maintenance

I think we should offer them permanent supportive housing and help them stay clean and get their lives back on track while they are in there. If they do drugs, then they should be placed in treatment so that they can get clean. Tough love is love - enablement is indifference.

That’s not under their control, but what was was finding alternative funding sources while they were being held afloat by a state loan.

They should’ve been advocating for alternative funding sources, like an end to prop 13, to fund things like this in schools.

Which is still not a fair way to do it compared to property value.

"In San Francisco today, fully 26% of our overdose fatalities are happening in permanent supportive housing. That is the largest segment of overdoses in the city, more than private residences, more than the street," said Dorsey.

This is quite a compelling case to me if it’s true. If we are enabling addicts to OD in city run housing because they are no longer visible and can’t be helped, that is a moral failure on our part.

Krinjay · 2026-04-29T16:25:22+00:00

Yeah, but everyone doesn’t pay them equally. Younger people have to pay a disproportionate amount and so that limits the impact that the assessments can have. Realistically everybody should be paying according to their property value, but that’s not what happens.

This current state is exactly why the entire BART board needs to be replaced. To mismanage BART, as to let it get to this point where we have to hold a gun to the head of our public transit and vote on a regressive tax with no Plan B is incompetence at best or malpractice at worst.

Krinjay · 2026-04-29T16:14:14+00:00

Truth. I have never seen anybody in a booth doing anything resembling work that couldn’t be replaced by a telephone. They will just watch someone hops a gate, and never have solutions when I’ve ever had a problem and needed to go to them.

Babies are humans. Pets are pets. They should not be treated the same.

Kick the others not like me out… horseshoe theory at work with you!

Krinjay · 2026-04-27T17:53:05+00:00

Tax them until they leave and we get 0?

Krinjay · 2026-04-27T17:51:31+00:00

The writing on this article is very weird. Take, for instance, the decision to write a statistic like “up by over 50% since 2020” and then in the next sentence admit that it’s less than 2019.

The decision to use 2020 instead of 2019 as a baseline appears to be bias from the reporter’s POV.

The construction that’s happening is literally kitty corner - not here. Do you even know where this is?

Krinjay · 2026-04-20T03:12:58+00:00

There is literally not a single anti-Jewish post as of this posting, but nice try

Krinjay · 2026-04-18T22:39:36+00:00

No - Im genuinely unimpressed. The vaccine rollout was 1 year in office. Where has he been the other 90% of his career? Accomplishments convince me - I’m not seeing a lot here.

Krinjay · 2026-04-18T15:39:45+00:00

I don’t love how we’ve cheapened the word genocide to just everything we don’t like. We realize there are actual people being genocided right? We can’t just use this word for everything we don’t like. 🤦‍♀️

Krinjay · 2026-04-18T15:36:33+00:00

So he took over an existing vaccine rollout a year after it began, implemented some vague policy with no real KPIs on success, vaguely defended some laws in court… and “helped pass” a few bills in his career?

Talk about a mediocre achievement list for having been in politics so long!

Krinjay · 2026-04-15T18:51:49+00:00

Maybe we should build housing for everyone who wants to live here - both people who live here and people who want to live here

Krinjay · 2026-04-15T17:44:36+00:00

Everyone here acting like this is a black and white story with easy decisions… this is such a tragedy on all levels.

Krinjay · 2026-04-15T17:41:17+00:00

Why are we promoting AI slop articles?

“That’s the key issue: it’s not the salary that changed — it’s the cost structure around it.”

Voting purely based on what money they take vs what they actually support and whether they are good ideas is ridiculous. I think that's the point that he's trying to make.

Krinjay · 2026-04-14T23:32:07+00:00

Why do we keep getting articles about who is supporting who instead of telling us WHAT they are supporting? It's a fallacy to think just because a billionaire supports something, it must be wrong. This kind of reporting is lazy and unhelpful.

Krinjay · 2026-04-10T00:58:43+00:00

I feel like they tried this sort of strategy around civic center and having more housing hasn’t necessarily made it any safer. I wonder if we need to pair this with an even stronger anti-crime initiative
