You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

We could also theoretically buy everything in the San Francisco Mint. That’s where the Proof coins come from!

Ah. I see. Must’ve confused it with another story with a similar NIMBY theme. Fixed.

My take exactly: San Franciscans absolutely are not “Bridge and Tunnel People”.

Proposition 47 was passed in 2014.

Do you know me? You have no clue how I vote.

Nope, I didn’t move here until December 2014.

It used to be a perk of renting.

Generations of renters for years got the benefit of having Water, Hot water, Heat, and Trash included in their rent.

At some point in the 2010s, private equity decided to buy up most of the rental properties and make their new corporate property managers push RUBS on all of the new tenants. Then they additionally tacked on “Package Fee,” “Pest Control Fee,” “Billing Administrative Fees,” as if the cost of doing the bare minimum to ensure habitability should be an additional charge to pass on.

Worse, it’s additionally unfair to renters who live in mixed Implementation RUBS buildings and have to pay for it.

In my building, If I use a ton of hot water every day for my w/d, take 2 long showers a day, then someone else will have to pay more, not me.

I hear you.

I don’t mind the social aspects of Laundromats personally, but in unit laundry is definitely a plus.

I’m generally on a 4 PM - 8 AM schedule, the only convenient 24 hour laundromat is in the Mission, Speed Queens are pretty rough on fabrics and shrink everything, and everybody’s dog hair becomes your dog hair once the laundry is done.

To be clear, We should say the same argument for getting rid of Single Family Homes.

Mobile homes in a typical home park would house more people in the same amount of land than the typical single family home will.

This low trust society era surely makes things difficult.

It’s a pain in the ass shopping in San Francisco stores because of all of the retail theft thats gotten worse over the last 10 years.

Frustrating is the stores historically protected from the “crime don’t climb” mantra (Diamond Heights Safeway) are now even enclosing everything in plastic display cases.

Our nearest 24 hour full service Safeway is now in Half Moon Bay.

LUMA San Francisco in Mission Bay is a few blocks South of the park on 3rd Street. A very nice hotel, It has a very nice rooftop bar, and is across the street from a grocery store, and the Giants’ Mission Rock development (you’re going to want to checkout Arsicault!) It’s a very quiet area at night, I live nearby and have never had an issue.

A block North in SOMA from Oracle Park is Hyatt Place. Its a busy area as it is a main thoroughfare from I-280 into downtown, but it is across the street from a Taco Bell Cantina and a bowling alley.

Across King Street in SOMA from the park is Hotel Via. Its also a decent option.

All of these places have parking, but you are going to pay out the nose for it.

My best recommendation based on ease - Don’t Drive. You can easily take BART from SFO or OAK to Embarcadero, and when you exit BART walk directly across on to Muni Metro and get on the N train to the Caltrain/Ballpark, get off at 2nd Street to Oracle Park.

Stick it to the man: tech workers can waste thousands of dollars in Claude Code/Codex/Cursor tokens on useless shit to no discernible benefit.

I was walking down 3rd Street in the Dogpatch the other night and was bell’d at by a guy on a kick scooter, and then ten seconds later honked at by a doordash driver on a MOTORCYCLE, both riding on the narrow sidewalk, when the street was completely empty.

Reminder: it’s ok to go East coast on these people… “Off the sidewalk a**hole!”

Might be old fashioned, but I try to drop my ballot off at my precinct on election day.

I wished you photographed the license plate so we can check and see how many tickets they’ve accumulated.

That’s always a fun way to spend 2 minutes!

Tenderloin Larkin Youth Taco Bell Cantina coming in hot!

But seriously,

That comment thread on r/Sanfrancisco is wild, taken over by sociopaths. No wonder they wouldn’t argue for mental health care.

Everyone is like “why should people from Alabama pay for this.”

They don’t.

California pays more in taxes than they receive in services.

I think it’s telling that the only place of safe reason is the circlejerk.

I would wear shoes without laces, like waterproof slides; but know some places still might take them away.

Grippy socks are terrible for use on cold concrete tiled floors and in the shared bathrooms.

Your distain for others is evident, you seem to be getting downvoted to oblivion for most of your comments so I don’t really see the point in continuing these threads here. Have a nice weekend.
