  11. If you call out the cops to do a "welfare check" on that guy with a bad back and scruffy hair living in a van in the gym parking lot,
    You are the problem.
    Stop.
    Anything he is facing only gets worse when he can't have a few weeks to get his shit together without being forced to move or worse, interact with the apparatus of oppression.
    If someone is living in a van, they know that parking lot is not legally safe to park on for more than a day.
    They know you neighbours in your fancy SUVs and gated community houses don't feel comfortable with the evidence of poverty so close by.
    If they had a better option, they'd already be there.
    The cops are never a better option.

  24. Tuesday #Workout:
    222 seconds of plank.
    11 minutes of yoga for runners.
    20 minutes of strength training.
    KM of #Cycling (Light rain a d fog, 16°C, 99% humidity, and 6 KM/H wind).

    Good workouts, longer ride, still taking it easier on the knee and suddenly I was doing a tour of bridges that cross the Ottawa River.

    🤔 The bridge situation over the Ottawa river is a fantastic example of #NIMBYism; #Ottawa and #Gatineau *desperately* need at least two new bridges… but no one wants it near them. 🤦🏻🤷🏻

  29. #housing #SanFrancisco #NIMBYism

    "California legislators have handed San Francisco developers like Sam Moss major wins in recent years by reforming restrictive laws and passing new legislation aimed at hastening housing construction.

    These new efforts curtailed bureaucratic hurdles and public review processes in the city, and yet, little housing has been built since, due to the economic downturn. Moss wants to change that, and he’s almost ready to go: Thanks to a 2018 state law, his development firm, Mission Housing Development Corp., won streamlined approval of a nine-story building for formerly homeless adults slated to rise atop a busy BART stop, without a murmur of objection — from bureaucrats, at least.

    The permanent supportive housing building at the corner of 16th and Mission streets with 136 studio and one-bedroom apartments and on-site social services, however, has been the target of much disdain. It’s reminiscent of the days when a market-rate project planned at the site was dubbed 'Monster in the Mission' by community groups, delayed for years and ultimately killed.

    For Moss, the appeal is 'chock full of bigotry and segregation.'

    'I mean, it's truly a greatest hits of NIMBYism ('Not in my Backyard'), that letter,' he said.
    Yet, the issue does appear to present a real threat to the massive affordable housing project. Financing for its first phase has been carefully teed up at a time when securing funding for housing has been difficult, and any unforeseen challenges could derail existing agreements and timelines.

    'The project’s timeline is really contingent on successful financing. It’s really competitive out there right now, on all fronts — local, state, federal,' said Elaine Yee, MEDA’s vice president of community real estate.

    (. . .)

    Parents from the Marshall Elementary School community — the school is located on the other end of the block from the 16th Street Bart Plaza — celebrated the fact that the market-rate project was derailed.

    Today, Marshall parents are equally concerned about the city 'prioritizing supportive housing next to a school,' said Naomi Fox, who is the head of Marshall’s Parent Teacher Association. 'I know one family who moved their kid for the next school year, and I’ve heard talk of more.'

    Some merchants near 16th and Mission streets are unsure about adding more social services to the area.

    Neil Mitchell, the general manager at nearby Kitava at 2011 Mission St., said the opposition to housing the formerly homeless at 16th and Mission streets is heightened because the city has 'not proven' that it can address quality of life and safety issues that play out in front of the restaurant’s doorstep on a daily basis.

    'One of the things we always see on reviews for this place is ‘five stars, amazing food — sketchy location,’ Mitchell said. 'Obviously, there are people in need and we want to help meet those needs. How can we do that while at the same time providing clean and safe streets for our businesses and residents?'"
