America has a serious Nazi problem, and unless they're willing to get real cool about the only ways to deal with Nazis, rich fucks like these are going to keep infecting institutions and making them more and more extreme. This dude is laying out a plan to ethnically cleanse San Francisco and not only is he allowed to walk its streets a free man, but he is allowed to organize other lunatics to follow him.

Counter-offer: no.

I'm not a SF native, but from my understanding, the problem with SF is the NIMBYs, and this takes NIMBY to the extreme.

Not In My Back Yard. Basically the people in the community who will reject anything that impacts them in a slightly negative way.

For SF, this means homeowners who don't want to see property values drop due to new construction, or who don't want to sell to make room for new construction. Likewise for homeless shelters, train lines, etc. Those things need to go somewhere, but if everyone says "but not here," it doesn't get built.

By the beard, this is some next-level shit. Imagine listening to his jibber-jabber about Grays and thinking "that sounds like a good idea"?

This new "ruling CEO" class is bloody dangerous.
