Except the alleged perpetrator doesn’t live job SF, so your argument falls apart. They’re from Emeryville.

Look all I'm saying is that maybe instead of assuming the problems in the streets of SF are caused by degenerate hobos that maybe, just maybe, they're caused by degenerate tech bros.

Like who has the real power in this situation? the hobos or the techbros?

I don't expect hobos to be able to fix their situation, but I expect the people with money and resources to be able to. The fact that they don't shows that they don't want to.

Tech bros don't have political power, they're too busy working. California political power is held by rich retired people, children of upper class families, and landlords.

What?!

This article is literally about a group that hopes to exist but doesn't exist yet?

YIMBY is doing great things at the state level but has the support of most statewide voters and unions (except for the building trades union.)

Did you happen to not read the part where the people involved have already worked to shape SF politics?

Also, do people get titles (Political Director Abundant SF) for entities that don't exist? https://www.linkedin.com/in/todd-david-7998473

Do they have power comparable to TODCO, Dean Preston, the Sierra Club chapter that spends all their time getting laundromats declared historic buildings, etc?

Why not blame the politicians?
