That’s where you’re wrong! Thanks to the amazing technology of ride hails, SF *increased* VMT by 30%. #progress

We could also dig and put the car road underground like Seattle and Boston

Absolutely! Yet another reason why “BART parallels Caltrain” is a myth started by a racist. I know Oceanside and the Park well, but in spite of where Caltrain drops me. Peninsula deserves the Park and Richmond and Sunset deserve our hiking.

For visual. Muni to a rebuilt Sutro Baths and 19th. BART only down both major corridors

It would be completely in line with both Muni and BART plans to have both, really! Muni scoped it out in the 30s and BART scoped it out in the 60s. It would give Peninsula access to the park and line up to one day go to Marin.

Oh~ Then 1000% agreed!

Yeah, but that’s a framework (of neoliberal brainrot) we have to change, not just assume to be true. There are countless studies showing ridership grows faster than frequency growth. I believe I read there’s a stark curve upwards at 12min frequency.

It’s much more the other way around, though, as you can see with the boom in weekend ridership for Caltrain. One of the best points in favor of free fare. & It’s harder to estimate since ACT doesn’t represent the whole county but like SamTrans needs to 4x its funding just to meet Muni per capita

No.

What’ve you been reading on Korea?

I think you’ve got 00s Metal Guitarist locked there

Fast and free buses won the day!

Such a shame. People on the bus, particularly drivers, ask me about mine all the time. I would always show them how to sign up for the wait lists.

My tip is come up with a hook that can be expressed in a sentence or two. The window before they close the door is pretty small, but you only need to express enough to make them hear you out, not the whole thing right away.

It seems bad that only $668 million of California's $31 billion transportation budget is for public transit capital projects next year.

HSR gets another $798 million.

$1.45 billion out of $31 billion. It's a hidden form of climate arson.

There are those!… scattered amongst the hundreds of others. 🫣

Actually, tho, even when the Giants were winning we called it “Torture” because of how close they always left it. A bunch of their best playoff runs came from barely qualifying for playoffs in the first place, too. Fun team for that.

Boy do I have good news about the regular season

I mean, right now South Bay is organizing a local sales tax to cover similar costs for a short period as well. I’ll be there if our nurse union friends say they can agitate for good amendments, but it’s at least an improvement from that for now.

100%. But Newsom and others have undermined attempts at California Medicare 4 All multiple times. So it’ll be a win it if comes through. Just will take another fight to keep it.

Had it kept going, we might’ve figured out how Blernsball got started.

Then they tied the longest post season game and then played Annie’s “just thinking about tomorrow” 😂😂😂

Let’s not get too out of hand. We’ve all seen that parking lot.

Omg and the production team cut to add with All Night Long 🤣

Huh. Millbrae is hellish, yeah, but my experience is so is the T. lol. Interesting to hear!

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

Why T and not Millbrae?

Our elected politicians as well. They think the narratives they’re familiar with and polling are some kind of equivalent. But at some point I realized having knocked on 6000+ doors put me far more in touch with reality than most of my representatives.

That and this is the kind of ancillary but crucial talent that California’s entertainment industries quickly outsourced. I grew up around a diversity of wildly passionate and talented people that simply got to watch their entire industry die to shareholder value.
