That group is terrible.

Routinely f'ed up my ability to get home as a teenager.

The SF Bicycle Coalition are even worse though, especially because they're funded by tax dollars.

I've honestly never seen a cyclist in my city follow the law. I was hit as a pedestrian as a result of that.

I concurr.

No. I'm on Sonic at home and AS40475 (my ASN) for other stuff.

I tested with my own DNS servers, google, cloudflare and L3/Lumen - broken on all and it wasn't a DNS error.

I suspect its a regional outage due to how they operate. Last time this happened it was down for a few hours so IDK.

FWIW Mine was working as was a peer who works @ AWS.

You know HN is run by a VC, right?

I think its likely to be zero chance that it'll block API access. The whole point of HN is to read and contribute, its for the community.

Apparently Alexa is down on the east coast, but not the west coast. Its also reported that Roombas and Ring devices are broken on the east coast.

Even the health dashboard is down now. Its spreading to other regions apparently.

Yes, 100% this.

Tenure is absolutely something that should be considered. A person transient to an area shouldn't be allowed to uproot generations of tradition.

All of those past issues are gone as of 70-40 years ago, harping about them is orthogonal.

I know plenty of people who're poor who've managed to stick it out as well, or they left for greener pastures and are happy with those choices.

And as I've said elsewhere - building is fine, but this building is ridiculous.

Preston and Haney have ushered in the tenderloinization of the rest of the city. Outer Sunset now has encampments and fenty folders, if we don't do something to reign in the DSA we're going to be needing a lot more than bike locks.

The history is mostly irrelevant to building here, and you forgot the Yuppies then the Wuppies :)

I should also point out that 20 year high interest rates are bringing down the prices of homes so you may be able to buy one here shortly.

Yes, we are probably 50-60k units behind where we should be, but that doesn't mean we should build them without intelligence. Building along underground transit lines should be the primary goal because thats where its the most sustainable AND where its most likely to fix our urban blight brought on by the last 3 years of "stuff".

The city's budget does need new taxpayers but putting folks all the way out by the ocean is truly a bad idea and a way to create pain.

Its not solved now in larger buildings in SF. As long as addiction and bicycle theft remains unchecked, having "bike parking" is not viable.

Also, Biking to downtown from that area is probably unfeasable for most people. I've been biking here my whole life and even though I live midway on that commute I would never want to do it. I only know ONE single person who ever did it, and he basically did it to make the spandex biker crowd look weak. San Francisco is not and will never be a city that bikers do well in.

While the organization that runs that website is cancerous, the article isn't entirely wrong.

I don't believe that people who're pro-development are terrible but YIMBY seems to be a "develop at any cost" idea which is really not great. The people who're most rabid about it do tend to be the folks who coopt social justice messaging for causes like this, they exist everywhere.

I should say I do know some people who are YIMBY and are also very good people.

What we really need is MIMBY heh.

Thats a reasonable point - this will open the eyes of San Franciscans to why people like Scott Wiener, Dean Preston and Matt Haney/etc are bad for SF. It might be a way to break the political logjam of the far left/fauxgressive movement thats paralized this city and wrecked its economy.

"the 101" outs you as someone who's only briefly been here, and also you have to take 280 to even get to 101 so it doesn't seem like you drove much either.

MUNI in the sunset is pretty awful as well

Assuming the demo that moves in - probably. It could be a GoPuff/Amazon warehouse though.

Yes.

Its no secret that SFYIMBY and the SF Bicycle Coalition walk in the same circles; Vastly homogenous. More and more San Franciscans are figuring out how cancerous SFBC is and it'll probably be another year or two before YIMBY is an actual dirty word.

MUNI has never been efficient in the entirety of my lifetime. Its a corrupt organization and basically would need to be completely reborn.

Also look at the cost overruns for extending the underground trains, its massively inept at construction.

Its only gross if you think being a multi-generational stakeholder is wrong.

SF used to be a very car friendly city, then fauxgressives attempted to ruin it.

Nope, addicts break into buildings routinely and steal bikes from "Secured" parking.

Won't happen. There is brand new unused retail space across the street. Its been vacant for years.

I should also point out that the newly built building across the way from this spot has had vacant commercial space since it was completed (24+ months).

This building simply doesn't belong here and the quicker the YIMBY folks understand what is and isn't a bad idea the better.

It'll be no bikes worth of parking when the thieves find out where this is.

Fixing the train won't cut it. Everyone who lives there will need to drive.

This is also right on point.

Although the sewage plant is not exactly right next to it lol.
