Dems should fight on every front.

If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts.

We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File.

Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the headlines, but there’s so much good happening here in San Diego.

Join us for BikeSD Presents: Cross Pollination to hear from local leaders and researchers driving change in mobility, urbanism, and public space.

Let’s build together!

It's always crazy to me that we never have a problem with a dirt lot, but always spend so much on parking lot maintenance.

IS THIS NORMAL? HALF OF THE BUDGET FOR THE CITY'S SECOND-BIGGEST PARK GOES TO PARKING LOTS?

Truly amazing how much street space in SoCal is spent on center turn lanes, even on low volume residential streets.

Always surprised to see bike lanes on the inside (closer to traffic) of parked cars instead of the outside.

What's in β€” and what's missing from β€” San Diego's new 'Street Design Manual' The city's design standards on everything from crosswalks to medians to bike lanes haven't been overhauled in more than 20 years.

Take my hand as I guide you through San Diego's new (draft) Street Design Manual and what it does β€” or doesn't do β€” to build a safer, more sustainable and more livable city.

Been working on this one for a while, hope you enjoy! www.kpbs.org/news/public-...

[City of San Diego] Street Design Manual Comment Form

🚨🚨 Please comment on the new San Diego Street Design Manual ⬇️
Ask for:
1. Intersections to have crosswalks on all sides, so that pedestrians aren't forced to cross 3 dangerous streets to cross 1 side
2. Ban right turn on red
3. Prioritize protected bike lanes over parking

I want a Liberty Party
I want its plan to be 'Project Phoenix'
I want it to champion democracy/rule of law/civil rights/etc
I want it steeped in rhetoric of Revolution/Constitution/Civil War/Reconstruction/Liberal International Order/Civil Rights/etc
I want it to acquire & wield power
I want it now

We could never do that in San Diego. Seattle just has much better weather for cycling than us, that's why it works there.

I’m becoming more convinced that our immediate and intermediate future should focus on BRT with full priority over cars. Topology will challenge rail even without the hostile political climate, and the dense highway network is right there, if we have the political courage to take lanes.

If you got room for a frunk, you should have designed it to have a van nose. These vehicles are so dangerous. Now that it’s air not motor it should be design regulated.
