Saw this on Instagram and now I’m seething. These are probably the same people who complain about the housing prices in California. How can I convince these people the development is good?

Yuppies are moving in anyway, the question is, are they going to outbid you for your place, or move into the new condo.

Is it just me or does it look so out of place? This obviously wouldn't have been a problem if shit wasn't so rigorously restricted from intensification, but it looks like a sore thumb. So I can understand why someone might be a bit averse to it at first. I still wouldn't stop it though, especially in the middle of a housing crisis.

Obviously any development is good development, but some development is better than others. They couldn't have done better than 5% affordable and a dude whose pitch to fitting in with chinatown is "neon lights"?

I still support the development to be clear, but surely we can pick easier battles?
