Vox Nihili posted:I wonder if the reporter is going for rage clicks or if this is really a "sincere" angle. Who the gently caress describes someone who moved here to speculate on real estate as "following the American Dream" or "making a living." There was that one poster a few months back, in this very thread, who was walking a very similar line.

Fun story I heard - Spotlight was started by a husband-wife team: Wife: Former reporter for Mercury News who got fired suspiciously soon after submitting a story about local corruption involving the mayor and... chamber of commerce, IIRC Husband: Local labor leader Apparently after she was fired they went off into the wilderness for a while, got jobs in Las Vegas or something, and then came back with all her journalistic connections and all his labor connections and set up SJ Spotlight. This is why if you look at their donor list it's got a decent number of labor sources and journalistic grant sources. But yeah, SJ Spotlight and SJ Inside are the places to go.

Landlords justify their rentierism when things are good for them by saying that they deserve the rent because of the risk they are taking in owning the property, then when things are bad for them and that risk they are taking isn't providing guaranteed income then they whine. Landlords need to be eliminated and all their properties given to the people that live there.

Whether or not there is any actual thing that is actually enforced, January is going to be rough. We'll see the last of the NYE cases halfway through, and then another couple weeks for them to progress through sickness/medical system. That said, January is normally a month when nobody does anything anyway, so hopefully by early February we start to see transmission rates decrease.

In response to being passed over for the Senate seat, London Breed's strategy apparently is to whine: https://www.sfgate.com/politics/art...medium=referral Webpage is ad heavy, so: quote:San Francisco Mayor London Breed does not approve of California Secretary of State Alex Padilla's appointment to the United States Senate seat currently held by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Cup Runneth Over posted:Man, between that and the Peoples Temple, San Francisco political history is hosed up At one point the Zodiac Killer called in to a TV station to have a live chat with famous defense attorney Marvin Belli which is just completely insane to me. Turn on the five o'clock news and listen to a serial killer taunt the city live on the air. It's like something from a ridiculous thriller or Batman movie, yet it actually happened (and was recreated in Fincher's movie about the Zodiac case). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yrtcRBTg-I More of a late 1969 than 1970s thing, but still.

Greg12 posted:Contracts often include clauses for breaking them. People wishing to break contracts without such clauses often offer money to the other party. late reply, but from the article my understanding is the person stops paying rent, and also demands money to move out. the first part is normal and what an eviction moratorium in a pandemic should mean. the latter is what's sketchy imo speaking personally, I've lost my job unexpectedly and had to ask my landlord to end my lease early so I could move somewhere cheaper. fortunately for me they agreed. but I didn't ask them to pay me on top of that
