Steph Curry is as well despite his progressive public image (he's also got FTX entanglements)

I think his objections were valid “taller fencing and landscaping to block sight lines onto our family’s property.”

I would hate to be a celebrity and have people recording me all the time, especially at home.

Fair, but it's inconsistent with his image — and he didn't propose much meaningful accommodation in return.

I haven't read too closely, but no one is building meaningfully affordable housing in Atherton. Each unit in the development would easily sell for millions.

CA/the bay area should focus on packing high density housing closer to transit lines, not lifting apartments in areas that are an hour+ walk from transit to score political points.

To the best of my knowledge it's mandated by the state — our old city council used to refer to our town as "complete" and slow rolled housing an approach which, to the best of my knowledge, would just yield state intervention with local decision-makers removed.

Par for the course for the super-rich.

That's because we need to cut taxes to incentivize these geniuses of industry to make actual things!

I'll take JPEG monkeys over perpetual war funding any day of the week.

The fallacy of the excluded middle, also known as a "false dilemma" or "false dichotomy", is what happens when two options are presented as being the only possibilities when, in fact, there may be other options that exist.
