Nothing is more permanent than “temporary” arrangements; and nothing is more temporary than “permanent” ones.

That still applies to ~170k rental units, which constitute ~70% of the entire SF rental market.

Sounds great in theory. In practice, the aggregate outcome would be wealthy city-dwelling democrats subsiding poor rural republicans.

How do rural folk benefit from either? Distances are too great for biking and the lack of density precludes mass-transit.

Except for the untold millions who are barely scraping by after the pandemic who have no leeway in their budget for an auto tax increase.

The Japanese Nuclear Commission had the following goals set in 2003:
> The mean value of acute fatality risk by radiation exposure resultant from an accident of a nuclear installation to individuals of the public, who live in the vicinity of the site boundary of the nuclear installation, should not exceed the probability of about 1×10^6 per year (that is, at least 1 per million years)
Their one in a million-year accident occurred about 8 years later.
You can't trust theoretically derived probabilities, such as those used when discussing the safety of the nuclear field for which the effective track record is only 70 years.

It does mention that left-leaning users are twice as likely to block, unfriend or hide those posting political content they do not like:
> Liberals are the most likely to have taken each of these steps to block, unfriend, or hide. In all, 28% of liberals have blocked, unfriended, or hidden someone on SNS because of one of these reasons, compared with 16% of conservatives and 14% of moderates.
