Dear Democrats:
Please internalize the fact you don’t benefit from high voter turnout anymore.

The trust and safety stuff on Claude has gotten way more extreme over the last few months. It will now regularly refuse to provide me information I’ve uploaded to it on privacy grounds.

I’m deeply against stuff like this.
We shouldn’t be forcing people to electrify as the technology, when well executed, is just *better*.

Death of housing supply by a thousand cuts in San Francisco
If you want to renovate an apartment building to improve or expand the housing stock in San Francisco, it just became more expensive and complicated
Despite how expensive it is, the housing stock in San Francisco (particularly for rentals) is already so old with infrastructure that that falling apart. Now new hurdles further disincentivize improvements
Regulations like this are a minor inconvenience for well-to-do homeowners renovating homes. But will make improving rental apartments a non-starter
The city is simply not serious about the housing crisis where there are not enough homes and not enough quality homes
Obviously doing things like this makes housing more expensive not less expensive, so that’s what we’ll continue to get in San Francisco
“Starting July 1, most property owners seeking permits for gut-level renovations that also replace major mechanical systems, such as water heaters and furnaces, will be required to ditch natural gas and install fully electric systems”
“The San Francisco Department of the Environment estimates that the new rule will affect the equivalent of roughly 261 single-family homes and 293 multifamily units a year”

The sheer scale of a trillion dollars can be hard to comprehend. Let me put it in perspective. You would be able to buy 42 miles of high speed rail in California with that much money.

Just got polled on renewing the Contract Costa transit sales tax. Maybe 50 questions, but no explicit ballot test.
Interesting choice.

This seems inspired by the Eminem
Detroit Super Bowl ad, but without the discipline of a 30 or 60 second spot manages to fall flat and convey less info about the city, even though half the Eminem spot is about a car.

Perfectly on brand for GWOT. Bizarre, disorienting, total lack of clarity about what it's trying to achieve.

An early look at the @GWOTMF memorial planned for Washington, D.C, released today.
It's planned on what are now athletic fields at the corner of Henry Bacon Drive and Constitution Avenue, near the Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Just got a “silver alert” which is a good reminder that California decided to racially segregate its missing person alert system for some reason.

I’m old enough to remember when Bill deBlasio said banning horse carriages in Central Park was his No 1 priority before taking office.

No fanfare but, at some point in the last 4 years, California stopped being a grid that occasionally beat fossil fuels and became one that does it on a daily basis.

Selling AI positivism — whatever that may mean in your book — is, flatly, not something anyone is buying right now. It doesn't jive with the deep concerns people have about it, and refusing to listen to their concerns probably won't end well (as past history has shown)

Theres been a lot of takes about how California is a machine politics state and how futile it is to go up against the machine.
So I wanted to share the story of how last week, me and a plunky group of volunteers routed the entire Democratic machine in a Harris 80 SF suburb.

A few other strategic considerations worth flagging.
1: I was a dogmatic adherent to marginal voter theory. This is a D 80 community so the marginal voter was a Democrat who likes libraries and generally votes yes on taxes.
That meant always identifying the NO campaign as library-loving Dems. I played up my own superpac experience in public forums.
If the opposition was coded as anti library, anti tax, or even worse: republicans, we would struggled.

2: The city clerk has a fair amount of discretion over who gets to write arguments for the election guide. I was able to do some coordination behind to scenes to ensure more conservative-coded opposition didn’t submit arguments since the city would have likely chosen those.
Remember, the marginal voter was a Democrat who likes libraries, so the opposition needed to be Dem and Pro Library in nature.
The city and the Yes campaign wanted their opponents to be Republicans.
