    Marriage isn't simply the next step on the relationship ladder. It is a conscious commitment that your partner can rely on you, and knowing beyond any doubt that you can rely on them. Marriage takes work, absolutely. But I believe in working hard at work worth doing.

    These pictures cry out for change. CA has invested more in wildfire prevention than any time in our history. Enacted bold climate policies. But it’s not enough. We must do more. We need action at EVERY level. CA cannot do this alone. Climate change is REAL. So please — VOTE.

    Want to open a coffee shop in San Francisco? That's only legal in the green areas. And even then, you'll need to go through a year-long permitting process and spend over $100,000.

    Nearly 175,000 San Franciscans voted to recall the school board. Of those, 62.85% are Democrats, 25.6% Independents, and 6.7% Republicans. Don't buy the media's framing of this as a "Republican billionaire recall." This was regular San Franciscans demanding competence.

    The weirdest phenomenon in San Francisco right now is people dining indoors without masks, then putting their masks on when they leave and keeping them on while walking around outside. I'd love to understand what's going on in their brains.

    Breaking: to solve the housing shortage, Governor Newsom announced today that homeowners will receive a $400,000 tax credit for each house they own.

    Just learned one of the worst NIMBYs in SF pays 0.2% property taxes. $4,000 per year on a $2 million home.

    Wow, the link between police staffing and crime rates is extremely clear: "Using data from nearly 7,000 U.S. municipalities, I find that a 10% increase in police employment rates reduces violent crime rates by 13% and property crime rates by 7%."

    Honestly the left's negativity toward any private achievement is so depressing. An entire branch of politics that thinks if something is worth doing, then it's worth stopping anyone but the government from doing it. They don't believe in individual agency.
