This system forces people pay $10k/yr or go in debt to maintain car access. There is *no other realistic option* in the U.S. All while our governments continues to subsidize the auto and fossil fuel industry and cut everything else.
Yeah, totally progressive working-class world view you have. 🙄
Even engineers in the industry are blowing the whistle on how little of what they study is actually based upon science. Induced demand isn't just a theory, it's been a well studied, repeatable, and observed phenomena. Here is some recommended reading:

Tomorrow's engineers aren't learning about induced demand.
"3 [of 7] textbooks omitted the idea entirely, whereas the others offered only partial coverage."
"The engineering textbooks reviewed here leave students unprepared to understand induced travel."

I have done a lot of work to fast-track much-needed housing, and through that work I have seen another area in desperate need of streamlining: transportation projects to increase bicycle and pedestrian safety.
🚨🚨🚨 Mayor Gloria is proposing to completely eliminate the multimodal team as part of this year's budget. This is how most bike lanes across the City get constructed. Please take a second to tell him we need to keep this team ⬇️ #sandiego
This is also my question.
Yes cause the customers at the bar and restaurant flanking his store with lines out the door could find parking just fine—only *his* customers couldn’t. There is no other market forces that could make retail particularly challenging right now. None at all.
JFC. This used to be the cool pro-scooter pro bike lane council member. My, how he has fallen.
So... The takeaway is that Porter is now backing moderate to conservative policies while trying to ride the populist wave on the good will she won with voters from her white board era.
I’m going to have to vote for Steyer aren’t I?
One of my biggest pet peeves in SD finally getting the spot light it deserves:
I‘ve been waiting MY WHOLE DECADE in SD for this article.
Massive nuisance to the residents that live under these helicopters and for what appears to be little—if any—measurable public safety benefit.
I’ll keep giving this bird my bird every time they make unintelligible instructions to us below.
Since 1966, historic districts have steadily expanded to cover much of Lower Manhattan.
As more areas are covered, new housing is effectively banned there, driving displacement and higher rents.
Hellllllllllllllz yeah.
I think that’s a start! But even if local data says the same… bike and peds are still disproportionately impacted and “well at least 30% less of you have died…” is still not great messaging and I don’t think what you’re trying to say...but also is kinda how it’s coming across. :)
Wait no typo. You read to fast, ha! Not me for once - typo queen
Typo! It’s a work event :)
Not piling on, but trying to help
with future comms: You can see where folks are confused…how is this data set related to the original post or contribute to the conversation at hand? The absence of clarity can lead readers to interpret the use of this data set to dismiss the original issue, just FYI
Was going to bike to an event at Liberty Station tonight and now I’m going to uber because there is now no safe way to get there by ebike now! @joelacavad1.bsky.social In an oil
and affordability crisis this is the opposite of what we should be doing!

No notes.
Real text between my Dad and I this weekend.
Cars suck. Even if you think you understand the scope of the impacts, you're probably underestimating. Watch this.
NIMBYs in Del Mar are trying to slow down the US's #2 train corridor. Thread on why their arguments don't hold water. Speak out at 9 am on Friday in support of the Del Mar Tunnel and the Crest Canyon alignment! 🧵

Gave a $10. What mayor LA has matters to San Diego and sets the tone for all of SoCal.
Consider donating to this YIMBY-progressive candidate!
Seeing lots of folks on the 2 today exiting using the front door—I’m not upset at the poor form, I’m more excited that I think there are lots of folks taking the bus for the first time.
I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment
*trying to
I am useless but at your service 🫡
