FMguru posted:That's the problem all over the Bay Area - new apartment construction has been at the high/luxury end (fewer studios and 1BRs, more condos and townhouses). The SF skyline is full of construction cranes building giant apartment towers...that they'll sell you for seven figures. Things like the Blu tower right near the Bay Bridge onramp - 21 floor tall skyscraper, with six condos on each floor. Not exactly easing the demand for housing in the area. It sounds like the Bay Area is trying to be Manhattan without the public transportation infrastructure and affordable surrounding suburbs. Cool. Also, is there a way to get someone fired for this: http://www.scpr.org/news/2014/11/13/48034/lausd-argued-middle-schooler-can-consent-to-sex-wi/

California exiting would gently caress the rest of the country over since we're a substantial and reliable block of Democratic votes. Now sweeten the pot and add in Oregon and Washington to make West America, then maybe...

quote:A letter from the 310 members of the San Francisco Bar Owners Alliance, read at the hearing, called Zeitgeist “one of the most important bars in San Francisco, hands down.” Is there something I'm missing about Zeitgeist because the few times I've been there it was just full of obnoxious drunks mostly wearing tech startup/company shirts.

Playing devil's advocate usually means that you agree with what a person is saying in general, but want to test the rigor of what they're saying by challenging them to eventually strengthen their argument. You're just an rear end in a top hat.

Anecdotal, but I find that most Californians skew towards being libertarians, but just wear being a liberal progressive like it's a fashion accessory. The older ones, like the old school Berkeley hippies, still tend to be pretty radically left, though, assuming they haven't been pushed out of their homes. Then again, the Democratic party as a whole hasn't really leaned left in a while, so.

Skippy McPants posted:Forget about counterculture, it's on the verge of dystopian hellscape. Gleaming boutiques on one street, tent encampments on another... at least until the latter gets broken up by the cops. And anyone above the gentrification line whose actually pissed at the situation is too busy working themselves to death in order to stay afloat. But hey we at least can use filters on apps to escape from (or "augment" if you're in the know) our glorious technocratic society.

I'd really like an actually leftist political party instead of whatever the gently caress state of denial democrats are in. Of course that would also divide the voter base so that the conservatives would have all the power, so boo.

Well when leading democrats take the principled stance of *checks* maintaining status quo, it's sorta hard to be enthusiastic. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nancy-pelosi-brett-kavanaugh_us_5bb39e6fe4b0d1ebe0e56105 quote:House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said she would not push to impeach Brett Kavanaugh if Democrats retake the majority in next month’s midterm elections, saying it will not be a focus of the party.

Jaxyon posted:Hollywood Reporter ran a big article about AB5 I volunteer at an arts organization in SF and there's a lot of worry and uncertainty since it seems like AB5 is going to cause a lot of collateral damage to the arts community. Like, in addition to what gentrification and rising cost of living has already done. I still somehow place the blame is on the tech industry for basically existing instead of legislators, but realize both are to blame. But seriously gently caress Uber.

What I kinda don't get is why spend all that money on ad buys when you can do something amazingly magnanimous that will be its own hype engine. "Bloomberg spend hundreds of millions of his own dollars on advertising" does way less for a political campaign than "Bloomberg fixes Flint," but what the hell do I know about this dumb political process.

Does Hollywood not account for a lot of that or does it get underreported because of Hollywood accounting? Like I imagine it's a not insignificant percent of the entertainment industry, but maybe I just get lost amidst all the billion dollar box offices and whatnot.

krysmopompas posted:Pelosi is personally responsible for the deaths of millions around the globe, but the opposition was mean to a former employee that tried to engineer a sex panic in retaliation. "Was mean to a former employee" is a pretty hosed up way of putting sexual harassment. adoration for none posted:Yeah, you've got a point. I thought about it after posting and decided to give him $50. I legit thought the reaction here would go the other way and was preparing for a verbal pounding. Thanks And if you think the above is also a good enough point to give money to a sexual harasser, then that is also pretty hosed up.

krysmopompas posted:I think you’re getting the croydon story mixed up with wilde’s story. What exactly is the point you're trying to make here? That emotional abuse is okay (it's not) but sexual harassment isn't (it's also not)? That Buttar deserves some benefit of the doubt despite a pattern of behavior that points towards him being a piece of poo poo, leading to DSA SF to rescind their endorsement of him? Diminishing any of these testimonies to "was mean" is, as I'll say again, pretty hosed up.
