It’s such bullshit. My bill is actually going up because of the flat fee, since already an efficient user.

Young guys will never experience printing out Mapquest directions to your manhunt dot net trick’s house.
Right on red is a terrible traffic rule.
The amount of adults in the US who think crime in the 2020s is higher than the 1990s always sends me.
He’s seriously an out-of-control nutjob.
At a certain point you just cannot keep extending someone the benefit of the doubt. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
We should evaluate policies based on their real world effects, not their proponents’ stated goals.
Historic preservation froze the built form of the West Village and turned what had been a diverse middle class neighborhood into an exclusive enclave for the super-wealthy.
Realign was terrible for San Pablo Av. I don’t know why they slashed service so badly there.
This is it, right here, right now. The whole game.
All his voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election cheating has lead to this.
If Trump takes over elections, it’s game over for democracy in the United States.
If the people aren’t willing to shut down the country over this, it’s over.
The signage is God-awful. It's very difficult to navigate if you aren't familiar with it already.
I can't help but think Land Use signs are just vestiges of NIMBYism - especially if a project is BY RIGHT in the land use code, not asking for a re-zone or variance. Why must we allow rando neighbors to comment on a *by right* project, at the cost of thousands of dollars and months of time?
Amsterdam is up there with Barcelona, too.
New Orleans is close. Into the 1990s it still had other industries, notably oil and gas, but in the past thirty years tourism/conventions have pretty much become the only economic engine in town. Two big universities do at least sustain a student population.
The article text is more measured than the headline, but I really don't like the implication that the agencies are "fearmongering." BART and Muni have stated what will have to happen to service if an infusion of funds can't be found; it's reality, not hyperbole.
I really object to this framing, particularly the sensationalist headline. It isn't a "scheme" to say that transit agencies' budgets are in trouble without new funding sources. It isn't "stoking fear" to explain clearly what will happen without those sources.

OMG this. When people learn about my political-economic views, they often say "so you're a socialist." And I say "no, I'm a Social Democrat." Then they stare blankly.
Can confirm.
The less I have to hear about him, the more I like him.
it is perfectly fine to police tone. if you are saying uncontroversial things like an asshole, then my problem is not with the uncontroversial things you're saying.
I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.
Watching blue state elite persuasion YIMBYism rack up wins in Illinois while "we need to retain local control so people don't feel sad about buildings :(" strong townism eat shit is nice
Things one can do rather than join an online community held together by parasocial hatred of people you don’t personally know:
-read a book
-go for a walk
-have a conversation with someone who has never heard of Will Stancil, which is nearly the entire country
-pet a dog
I feel like I've tried to make it stop doing this about a dozen times and it won't stop!
It's one of the best books I have ever read, for precisely the reasons you state. The world-building is subtle yet so incredibly creepy and dark...
So basically we’re talking about spending upwards of $40 billion in nominal dollars because we can’t figure out how to upzone housing near jobs.
I liked it a lot better when the U.S. promoted democracy. Even if it often did so out of self-interest and imperfectly, it was better than meddling in other countries to try to force them to be fascist. Le sigh.
You’re back! Missed you.
Hey Louis, could I dm you about this? This has annoyed me for years and I work on transit advocacy.
on a serious note the balkanization of the Bay is one of the most annoying things.
sovereign metro region legislature when?
She has never had a good Take on anything and on top of that is probably a wretched cook.
