I'm aware. Those two are the Dem candidates that I, at the moment, find the most grating. They both feel tailor made for the lamorinda, dt walnut creek/broadway plaza, danville commuter vote
God I hope swalwell and mahan drop out
The entire bay area ought to look like a Chinese megacity. It should be the densest and highest population area of the country. There shouldn't be a building shorter than 10 stories within 15 miles of the Salesforce tower
This guy's been doing it for a while, there's been a whole genre of reactionary slop of this kind for years now. My go to example is usually that guy who's whole schtick used to be just filming people living in tents/on the street and being a piece of shit, Nick Johnson
Bro's not even on the hybrid grapes smh
I'm surprised by porter, since coming out in favor of sb79, she's largely assuaged my concerns
You gotta see what it's like driving out into St John's county on the way to St Augustine, or on Beach blvd towards the beach cities. People really drive like they don't care about their lives
all drivers are bad until proven not
I've never gotten diagnosed but have strong suspicions, dad and brother are both medicated for it. My undergrad experience was just struggling to move from one self inflicted catastrophe to the next.
🙏 I gotta get in there so all the House Sacramento folks can convince me to move there
We need to be AMP-maxxing. Get SMUD-pilled even
I sometimes forget enjoying trains and public transit more generally is esoteric. I know I have a handful of interests that would be considered odd to people but my friends and family bubble all kinda get what I'm about to the point I forget what's weird.
What is this supposed to mean? Does the west coast have a different conception of afternoon than everywhere else?
🎊🎊🎊 whoever vows to go against the pro tailpipe emissions crowd has my vote 🎊🎊🎊
I don't remember the exact details but I'm fairly certain the SNCF goals were cast aside for legitimate reasons. The central valley has a lot of people, needs cleaner transportation options, and buy-in from across the state was needed to get the project approved with even minimal funding.
I for some reason have a spot in my brain dedicated to reminding me everytime I've seen a restaurant in the chronicle before
Coming back to this now that steyer has announced. I know he came out in favor of sb79, apart from that and his new campaign materials, I'm not super familiar with his positions. What, in your mind, makes him a solid choice?
I guess now that I've thought about it for a second I'm just asking them to open baypass up to the public and allow for short term passes
This would be awesome, I would love if they would implement something like this all the time. I would jump at the opportunity to sign up for a week long all agency pass whenever I'm in town visiting family.
I've been told they can have issues if they're held open too frequently or too long incorrectly, like putting your arm in before the doors shut rather than using the button.
Fuck it, let’s go 23 innings
One step removed from going after Conner o'malley. I eagerly await the day those in the white house start subjecting themselves to the trauma of his YouTube channel
God DDOT sucks sometimes. I feel like Bowser, especially since installing Kershbaum as director, has been on a tear with these car brained decisions
I recognize it's a very different system, mostly I'm just thinking about how much service has improved over the last handful of years. I don't expect the same frequency as my current station, I just don't want to feel I have to plan out when to leave my apartment like I did here much of 2020-2021
This is a concern of mine as my plans likely take me away from DC in the next couple years. The chance I end up making living car free much more difficult weighs on me.
WMATA runs great service, especially since the depths of COVID. BART riders deserve the same kinds of service improvements.
Surprisingly, at least to me, my library holds this book. Based almost exclusively on how many times you've referenced it, I checked it out today. Having semi-recenrly read The Browns of California, I'm curious to see if it scratches a similar itch
Governor weathervane strikes again
Former staff member of a closely related org. My time there pre 10/7 was very much general Jewish life activities, post 10/7 things rapidly degraded, nearly everyone there quickly lost it. Seperately, the overall vibe from senior leadership wavered between confusion and disdain toward the unfamiliar
