@cdarwin@c.imIt's Isaiah Martin, and the countdown is at 82 days until my special election.
Two huge updates for you.
#1: It's official, we kicked the hive, so MAGA has put in a handpicked Trumpster to run against me.
💥But getting arrested didn't scare me, so their lackey doesn't either.
They won't steal this seat in Congress from the people.
#2 Last night we hosted a town hall with over 11,000 people in attendance.
💥Momentum is building, and we c…

@paulwermer@sfba.socialExcept, of course, on city-owned property like Potrero Yards, because affordable housing doesn't pencil out.
And SF's Upzoning plan allows towers without on-site affordable, unlike the State Density Bonus, which actually requires significant on site affordable housing. Developers can just fee out for less than half the cost of building affordable units.
SO I wonder - who were the advisors on the Family Zoning Plan, and whose families would be built for?

@cdarwin@c.imIn-person and telephone town halls used to be a common way for members of Congress to connect with constituents following a busy session.
Earlier this year, though, the NRCC urged Republicans to avoid town halls altogether
— and those lawmakers seem to be listening.
Take the tense scene inside a packed auditorium in Lincoln, Nebraska, recently,
where Republican Rep. Mike Flood faced hundreds of constituents during an August 4 town hall.

The Republican lawmaker was excoriated during a town hall Wednesday in Worth County,
