Wahhh

I’ll ask. My friend that follows this was just saying Seattle fans lobbied hard. Not 100% sure how.

Help write in to get us an exhibition game out here, and maybe then a team! 😭🙏

One of SB 79’s many issues is that it actively is not written to include many cities, in fact, it puts more demand to develop where there is already density, and does little to demand density where it’s insufficient. SB 79 is so far from being so flawless I could encourage ramming it through

ALM obsession included

Yep!!!

Biggest mistake US transit advocates make is siding with capital's long running austerity campaign against public services by focusing on transit labor costs over transit service funding

Countries with robust transit and high ridership have strong unions and healthy transit funding

Yes, you do.

But 1. It’s not strictly a supply issue. We can already see dense housing without social housing doesn’t produce affordability. 2. This is a framing put out by corporations trying to commodify the now-desirable cities. We also need to urbanize the suburbs.

I'd love if our trains didn't bear names of people that called for the funding of genocide and climate disaster.

I hate traveling but anytime I can go somewhere on the train all I think is "Oh at least it's on the train." More trains!

Yep! You could include Fiat/Ferrari in my list there. & I have been often likening how AI techies are exactly like the old Futurists, esp. when they talked about music. For House/Techno founders, they liked how machines ALTERED their expression. For Futurists, they admired the LACK of human touch.

Some. My gut would say a lot of service workers are still just riding mountain bikes they probably got second hand a while ago. Before the YIMBYish apartments, the flats were the cheap parts of town, the hills are mostly SFH and mansions. So they’re still good enough. But I do see some cheap ebikes

It's so frustrating going to city council meetings and hearing bicyclists almost exclusively talked about in terms of kids or hobbyists, which perpetuates the narrow demographics of riders. Just based on experience, I'd say the average El Camino rider is a restaurant worker.

They were mostly fine with it, though.

Whenever I see highlights of Korean baseball, the fans are simply having a better time. We’re doing something wrong.

Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts. City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

“…disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @nondriver.bsky.social

Don’t use accessibility “as a political football.”

Let’s go!!!

Remember! The budget crisis is literally because of the inherent instability of fares as a funding method the pandemic exposed. Free fare is the only long term solution to this. I’ll still try and pass the sales tax since it’s still better than trains disappearing. But tax the rich, fund the train.

What is this to? Who is this for???

How’s it goin?

I think this is just a similarity not elucidated by housing advocates. Buses/trains : transportation == social housing : housing. And many advocates that are pro-transit but anti-SB 79 are so along pro-tenants rights lines, at least particularly in LA and SF.

Society if average teacher pay were merely equal average cop pay… 😭

They’re saying lack of room lighting affects color and brightness in a way that makes people look sickly pale.

It wouldn’t be had they gone with the Gross Receipts Tax I suggested alongside SEIU. Progressive taxation for transit is very popular, just our representatives always choose less popular, regressive taxation.

The sidewalk width as a whole for starters. But the Copenhagen model was going after the guidelines for road design standards. Instead of begging for funding for particular projects, future updates just had to include their standards. I guess similar to ADA here. 30+ year timeline strat.
