Coleridge Mini-Park Neighbors Exasperated by City Inaction on Safety Lighting
Coleridge Mini-Park Neighbors Exasperated by City Inaction on Safety Lighting
Neighbors on Supervisor Campos’ office: “it’s insulting that I’m good enough to ask for a vote during election season but he can’t move the needle on a persistent public safety issue.”

The Duel of the Dual Davids has reached its conclusion, and there can be only one.
After a few days of nail-biting uncertainty, our D9 Supervisor and Bernal Heights neighbor David Campos has conceded to David Chiu in the battle for the District 17 State Assembly seat.
The Campos concession came via Facebook:

Look at the map above. There have been over 300 reported crimes clustered around 16th and Mission St. in just the past 3 months. The large majority of them were violent — assault and battery, strong armed robbery, rape, stabbing, shooting,etc. On average, more than 5 people a day within a few blocks of that plaza will be victimized, not including the…

So-Called "Twitter Tax Break" Netted City More In Mid-Market Tax Revenue
So-Called “Twitter Tax Break” Netted City More In Mid-Market Tax Revenue
themissionposition:
Kim-Mai Cutler just wrote about the City Controller’s recent report on the “Twitter tax break” (Mid-Market Tax Exclusion) and discusses whether or not it was a success.
Things aren’t as simple as “corporations are evil” in the real world. Sure, companies exist to profit (AND make products we use), but incentives matter and they can lead to good outcomes if done correctly.…

Shakedown at 490 South Van Ness: David Campos is for Sale
Shakedown at 490 South Van Ness: David Campos is for Sale #sfpolitics #sfbos #davidcampos #ad17 #themission
Well things are getting interesting: It looks like David Campos has been abusing the powers of his office as District Supervisor to solicit donations for his cash-strapped Assembly campaign by holding new planning projects hostage.
Regular readers know I don’t exactly harbor a great love for my Supe. In fact, his brand represents everything I disdain about politics – grandstanding and finger…

This is precisely what the city needs. More YIMBYs and YIMFYs, less NIMBYs. We’ve done the NIMBY thing for far too long, and look where it’s got us. Note the reader comments as well, where there are actually many people who love their neighborhood, want reasonable community benefits, input on the planning and design, while understanding we are in a housing crisis. They aren’t…

Nine Golf Courses
Interesting article about how SF has ended up with nine (!) golf courses in our city, from Priceonomics: Why Does SF have so many golf courses?
(from Priceonomics)
Pete Kane from SFWeekly did the math and wrote about the implications of the water usage in light of the drought we’re having:
“If a single nine-hole course uses almost 18 million gallons a year, then the combined five city-owned…

Anti-Tech Protesters are really unoriginal #sf #sftech #gentrification #housing
Old flyers from the first dot-com boom alongside more recent ones (from left to right, FoundSF.org, The Cable Car, and Uptown Almanac).
The rhetoric shown above is tired, idiotic, and irresponsible. It is certainly not revolutionary as many of its protagonists believe. I initially came across the two flyers on the left during the first dot-com boom many moons ago, and had forgotten about them…

Building housing will make SF more windy
Building housing makes SF windy. #nimby #sf #housing #sfpolitics #housingdeniers
Always desperate to find ways to curb changes in the world and the neighborhood, NIMBYs have came up with a new argument: the wind.
Seriously.
As in, if you build this housing tower, part of the hill that it sits on will become windier and will blow us away. The housing tower in question is at 1481 Post St. on Cathedral Hill, and the main opposition comes from the Sequoias residents association,…

Surprising Support for SF's Last Republican
Why some SF Dems support the city's last Republican. #sf #sfpolitics #sfteaparty
While some Mission residents have a troubled relationship with tech companies and their employees, most have no issues with tech products and using them to amplify their voices. There’s probably no need for another blog about life in the Mission, but one of the reasons I started The Mission Positionwas because I noticed that the majority of sites were representative of only one particular point…
