my mind is boggling

Authored by state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, Senate Bill 827 would provide zoning concessions and exemptions from local regulations for "transit-rich housing projects," which are defined in the bill as residential developments within a half-mile radius of a major transit stop or within a quarter-mile radius of a high-quality transit corridor. Qualifying projects would not be subject to limits on the maximum number of units, minimum parking requirements or maximum height limitations.

Wiener's new bill comes at a time when the Palo Alto City Council is trying to roughly triple its housing production, in part by revising the local zoning code to give developers incentives for building housing. But despite the Palo Alto's recent push on housing, officials are raising concerns that the Wiener bill would actually hinder the city's efforts.

:thunk:

also lol

The council's opposition is not, however, unanimous. Councilman Adrian Fine, author of the memo spurred the creation of the Housing Work Plan, said that he disagrees with the dissent. He also said he is disappointed in the process that led to the drafting of the letter, with he said caught him by surprise (the council had not had any extensive discussions about the Wiener bill before the letter was drafted and sent out).

um just btw reminder that palo alto "tripling" its housing construction is aiming to go from 100 units per year to 300, where something like 10x that is needed to meet demand

also scott wiener is a real mixed bag. it seems like every time i read something about him my attitudes flip.

for instance, he got a bill passed that requires all san francisco employers to provide paid parental leave, regardless of gender. that's good!

but then he got another one through that closes the parks here at night, which was supposedly to prevent vandalism, but really just makes it easier to arrest the homeless. that's bad.

he started a bill to require california government documents to include a non-binary gender option on all forms. that's good!

but he sponsored the sugary drink tax that unfairly targets poor-person drinks (soda) while exempting rich person drinks (sweetened coffee and tea products). that's bad!

i still don't know what i think.

i think qirex was the one who posted the original most-san-francisco thing overheard at the ferry building: "my doula makes the best kale chips"

my personal most-san-francisco thing i've seen was while i was waiting outside a parking garage. a guy in a $100k tesla pulled in, parked in the non-ev space beside a $20k nissan leaf that was using the EV charger, hopped out, looked around for a second, then unplugged the leaf and stuck the cord in his own car and walked away. superficial eco-conscious liberalism while actively loving over anyone less well-off than yourself
