Nah. Cities and counties have had decades to get this NIMBY shit handled on their own and the proof is in the pudding; they've almost unanimously failed and hordes of lifelong Californians have had to suffer the consequences from your entitlement. The state has been threatening to step in for years so here we are. Hopefully as many eight story buildings as humanly possible get built before any such ballot initiative is a glint in Steph Curry's eye.

During my high school years in the early 2000’s I was in the gay/straight alliance, and even in supposedly progressive SF Bay Area that was considered radical. Despite the fact that when we were all in Jr. High Matthew Shepherd had been a big deal. I remember thinking back then that once I was getting older these things would be commonplace and no one would care, because clearly society would progress, right?

Child me didn’t account for the violent regressive response we’re now dealing with.
