Yes, it's disgusting that the people who show up to meetings match the demographics of the neighborhood. Why aren't there more rich immigrants and purple-haired bearded programmers who moved there from the Midwest a year and a half ago?

Those 80 year-olds are going to hold onto their homes for decades!

Zoning only exists because of racism and classism, remember this. After Buchanan v. Warley in 1917, municipalities turned to race-neutral tools like single-family zoning, minimum lot sizes, and setback requirements to indirectly enforce economic and racial segregation. These land-use controls acted as proxies, allowing communities to maintain exclusionary barriers under the guise of local police powers and neighborhood character.

There’s a reason all the people at these things are in the same socioeconomic demographic

Put a 22 story building on the site of the Marina Safeway? Ugh.

Besides, most of the jobs in SF will be done by AI soon. Look what's happening to SOMA.
