I still can't believe Councilmember Padilla used *forcing a developer to reduce the size of an affordable housing project* as an example of how she is making housing more affordable for the people in her district!

After watching Id agree shes dumb but also look to her actions they are representing her current constituents. It just so happens her current constituents are not great people but they are active and do vote

Who does she think she's impressing with that disaster? I hope the EV think is just for the pipes and not the full charger. Getting the pipes ran is great for future proofing while keeping costs down. Paying day is always cheaper than tomorrow. But poor people can't afford EVs yet.

And people wonder why the median home in SF is $1.4 million and over $800,000 in the state.

She seems to be implying the neighbours were blocking a 6 story build so she got a comprimise.

The neighbors have no say in the project

Depending on the zoning laws, I suppose they could sue as abutters and delay it at every turn. But yeah *halving* the project sounds uh pretty drastic and I wouldn't be bragging about it.

Ah, OK. So she's deliberately misleading people. Urgh :(

honestly, I don't know this woman in the slightest, but she looks and acts a little too much like a young, inexperienced pushover, so it kinda sounds like the neighbors yelled at her, and she jumped to fix their problem!

She doesn't care about helping people, she just wants to make money off of corpos paying her to sabotage things.

I understand that Wiener didn't just go off on her full tilt because he has a bill to pass and if he looks angry the NIMBYs will exploit the clip. But he was too subdued, frankly.

I think it helps the Jon Lovett is expressing that shock. Scott can let Imelda and Jon do the talking for him.

There is a very real risk of YIMBY getting a reputation as an aggressive, condescending bro movement, so it’s good that Wiener showed restraint. It’s also why I like Buffy Wicks as a prominent face of the movement.

Nah Scott is doing exactly what he needs to do to pass hard bills.

There would've been no harm in briefly and calmly stating the number of lost affordable units there.

When your opponent is hoisting themself by their petard, the polite and correct thing to do is sit and watch and make sure they do it correctly -- which is exactly what Scott did.

Less housing and more parking! Exactly what LA needs

Also I love, neighbors wanted to kill it but I can’t. You don’t get credit for housing if you did nothing to advance it
