A legal fund to sue SF over housing deadlock
I've been following a guy on Tiktok who talks a lot about this and is very active in fighting NIMBYism through California. I can't remember his name but IIRC he's a Google employee.<p>It's crazy the amount of NIMBYism out there. I've seen clips of straight-faced people at council meetings arguing against this because it would ruin the "character" of Atherton. For those that don't know, Atherton is a billionaire enclave in Palo Alto. It just reminded me how much I hate the Bay Area. It's full of what I like to call PINOs (borrowing from RINO; Progressives in Name Only).<p>Fun fact: the newly anointed YC president Garry Tan automatically blocks anyone on Twitter who follows anyone who advocates for housing reform or even likes any tweets from such [1].<p>I'm hopeful about this. What California really needs however is to revert Prop 13.<p>But yes, San Francisco is going to be a tough nut to crack, particularly with limited enforcement mechanisms in state legislation. Hopefully that too can change. Relying on private enforcement is no solution.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/why-did-garry-tan-the-new-ceo-of-y-combinator-block-you-on-twitter/article_3fdd1c1c-28b1-11ed-afa8-b3ba9ebc92cb.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/why-did-garry-tan-the-new-ce...</a>
