It turns out that the Eastern Neighborhoods Plan isn't so much a "plan" as it is a Biblical command: Thou Shalt Build Condos.

Which is funny, because on my way out of my condo, going to my condo offices, I tripped over a homeless condo sleeping in the street. And I thought: "If there were three more of those, then we'd have something!"

Of course, the city has a plan in place saying that over 60% of all new housing should be affordable...but plans were made to be ignored. Heck, even if the voters do pass Prop B, setting aside a portion of the budget every year for affordable housing, all the money will probably just end up in the Gavin Newsom for Governor fund anyway.

Or am I being too cynical?
