What’s the best strategy to address this issue? Take on these code requirements piecemeal (eg single stair bills, elevator bills, etc) or pass some type of structural reform (E.g cost benefit considered in code updates, etc)?
At a basic level, it’s just inter-trade solidarity. If they’re smart, they realize code reform will come for them too – there’s lots of featherbedding in the codes and regulatory policy generally that they benefit from. Actually they have even more of a reason to oppose code reform than the…
Just look at Wick’s Condo defect bill- solid leg work and it shows in the orgs supporting
That’s on Lee for not doing the pre-work…
*Do they not want capital
What’s up with some of the trades opposing? Do they just capitalize to flow to the larger projects where trades are used and single stairs aren’t applicable?
When are we getting this tech for e-bikes?
Why was solar trending down since 2023?
I could see the sloppulists proposing demand-based subsidies for American ICE cars.
Did they rebuild the water slide??
Icing on the cake is that the driver is using this as defense and saying he was afraid for his family since the person looked to be homeless
Interesting to see Berkeley using the budget crisis as an opportunity to shift certain services to the county (e.g. mobile crisis, vector control, mental health services, etc.). This makes sense rather than the city having its own bespoke health department.
If I understand correctly, CARB is no longer cutting any allowances from cap-and-invest in response to oil industry lobbying. This jeopardizes the future of CA High Speed Rail, which relies heavily on private financing backed by a $1B/yr guarantee from cap-and-invest, which is unlikely to happen.
Hopefully this action precludes some of the really egregious bills that have been proposed in this space from moving forward.
I've seen this in plenty of other areas where administrative agencies/DOJ only acts once the leg forces their hands.
Conway Jr. and other employees said the vehicle that hit the man was a truck, possibly an F-250 or F-350. The street is a northbound one-way road where cars move speedily going from the Mission District down town.
Another pedestrian killed by an oversized truck in SF.
Why have there not been any class action lawsuits against American auto companies for knowingly producing such deadly and destructive trucks and SUVs?

Wonder why Haney attached himself to this boat- he seems entirely gettable on this issue
Just saw an anti-Steyer ad funded by the CA Association of Realtors- I'm curious what position of his upset them...
72 should have 5 minute frequencies in the East Bay. We can make this happen.
First step is passing Connect Bay Area measure.
Then next year campaign to restore 72R.
And after that make bus rapid transit happen from Oakland to Richmond.
BRT would spur huge ridership, housing and economic growth.

With an important Council committee vote coming on April 15, it's time, yet again, to speak up for pedestrian🚶♀️, bicycle 🚲, and transit 🚌 improvements on Hopkins!

Preemptively start a GoFund me I’ll pitch in 5 dollars for the five lives lost in 2025 due to traffic collisions.
How does that compare to other agencies?
I deleted my old twitter account so I cant recall most of the people I followed...
You'd think that SF's lower senior voter clout would help with housing issues, but there doesn't seem to be a correlation between younger voter clout and more housing being built. Maybe it does influence transit/bike infrastructure....
East Bay urbanists seem to have a strong presence here- but I dont get the sense that SF urbanists are on here as much.
Were you surprised God let him rise from the dead? We were too.
But Odd Lots just told me the fertilizer squeeze is just a fiscal issue for India…

San Rafael city manager pushed out for trying to stand up a homeless shelter quickly- Sure sounds like city staff or the residents don’t believe the homeless crisis should be treated as an emergency, which of course will be messy: sfstandard.com/2026/04/01/s...
I visit every active construction site in Berkeley on a 10-mile bike ride. Starting nearest my home: Panoramic Northside. 68 new units on Shattuck at Francisco. Looks on schedule for August move-in.
