In other news, San Francisco rents are up $223 from a year ago, with median rent rising 11% year-over-year [1].

But hey, at least we’re safe from the dangers of gas stoves. /s

Inhaling combustion products isn't great... not sure why you'd link those things?

"We found that 12.7% (95% CI = 6.3–19.3%) of current childhood asthma in the US is attributable to gas stove use. The proportion of childhood asthma that could be theoretically prevented if gas stove use was not present (e.g., state-specific PAFs) varied by state (Illinois = 21.1%; California = 20.1%; New York = 18.8%; Massachusetts = 15.4%; Pennsylvania = 13.5%). "

Indoor combustion seems like a very good thing to eliminate.

    In San Francisco, the housing crisis poses a far greater and more immediate threat to children’s well-being than this issue. Lack of stable, affordable housing affects everything: education, health, safety, and long-term opportunity.

    We can debate other problems, but unless we address the fundamental need for proper housing, everything else should be secondary.
