Early analysis shows ~77% of SF voters voted for either Prop D or Prop E or both. Both D & E proposed to streamline housing permits. (Prop E didn’t actually do so but was marketed as such.) So a huge majority of SF voters supported streamlining. One more reason not to give up.

I want to thank all the volunteers, families, and residents who fought so hard to save JFK. Thanks to all of you the Promenade will be a permanent part of Golden Gate Park for everyone to enjoy.
Robin Pam@robinpam9 Nov 2022
Thank you to everyone who worked so hard for this. The win for J is a statement of how much San Franciscans from all kinds of diverse backgrounds love this special space. Parks are for people, and especially for our kids and their future.

Upzoning and legalizing the construction of new homes — it works! #YIMBY
Matthew Maltman@1finaleffort5 Nov 2022
6 years in the making - Auckland's rents are now lower in real terms then they were at the time of upzoning in December 2016. The rest of the country is up over 10% of the same period. A short thread.

Mo has been coming to Golden Gate Park for 43 years. While ALS has changed things, she still visits the park most days. And she loves the #JFKPromenade 1/3

If you're new to SF, you may not know that there used to be cars in Golden Gate Park. There's a ballot proposition in this election that puts cars back in the park. Register to vote and vote no on prop i. Here's what Golden Gate Park used to look like.

The ink has barely dried on the Mayor’s signature on the JFK Promenade legislation. Yet this week, paid signature gatherers are hitting the streets with a ballot measure that would overturn 2 years of public process and a fair decision. We are ready. kidsafesf.com/blog/save-jfk-…

We need to reimagine our government (and politics) for the post-Industrial age. YIMBY is the tip of that spear, and tech leaders should be deeply engaged in this reform effort. Links to ideas from @Noahpinion, @mattyglesias, and @ezraklein modernpower.substack.com/p/o…

I moved to the Bay to get away from the burbs. My first memory of San Francisco was visiting City Lights Bookstore. Although my politics aren't as radical now, I came here bc I loved the vibrant city life, diversity, mixture of lib/ left politics, academic opportunities, etc.

It takes San Francisco longer than anywhere else in the state to entitle and permit housing per new @California_HCD data. 450 days from a project being submitted to being entitled and then another 525 days until its permitted. That's almost three years! hcd.ca.gov/apr-data-dashboar…

I challenge you to read this @NewYorker article about @NYC_SafeStreets and their movement without crying. Traffic deaths are preventable. Join your local movement: @KidSafeSF @streetsforall @TransAlt etc. Demand change from electeds and DOTs. We don't have to live this way.

“I wish I didn’t have to do this.” Nobody should ever have to join our movement. But the heroes who power FSS have saved lives & make sure nobody faces the horrors of traffic violence alone. Read @NewYorker for more on our movement for safe streets. 📰 newyorker.com/news/our-local…
On the right side of the image, the New Yorker logo sits above large, bold text that says "When Cars Kill" Below that the subheading reads, "A boy's death launches a movement to end pedestrian and cyclist fatalities in New York City and beyond." To the left are six images of FSS members at rallies and events over the years.
