'He died a hero': Crossing guard dies saving kids from car near Lafayette middle school The 45-year-old's mother said another parent told her, "if it wasn't for your son, my daughter would be dead." She said through tears, "he died a hero, but he'll never come back to us, he's gone."

Has any legislation been offered to prevent this from re-occurring in your district? abc7news.com/post/lafayet...

Column | How to war-proof your budget before regular gas hits $4 a gallon As the Iran conflict leads to rising gas prices, these tips can help you save money and maintain some budget predictability.

Amazing that this essay never even mentions public transportation @thewaroncars.bsky.social

In the US we hide the operating costs of transportation through privatizing it in assuming that everyone owns a carβ€”and then we villainize the operational costs of public transit at the farebox. There is no β€œfair fight”—the system is rigged by design

At this point, I’m afraid notβ€”but the intersection timing should be improved for all, and rights on red are being prohibited!

@caltrain.com β€” could you please improve the BikeLink locker marketing? Low cost to add this prominent stencil, people would understand what the hell the lockers do, and bike car riders would celebrate

Encinitas to remove protected bike lane in front of San Dieguito Academy Community concerns over parking and traffic jams led the council to approve reconfiguring the bike lane.

Reasons to remove a bike lane

1. Drivers block emergency vehicles

2. Drivers don’t know how to park their car

3. Drivers make dangerous right turns in front of cyclists when they can’t block the bike lane.

In theory, 92% of Americans "own" a car. 1 in 7 are driving them on our roads without insurance & millions are forcibly losing their cars to loan repossession per year. Hell of a system we have here!

Some old lady came 5 feet from running over the stroller I'm pushing both my kids in until I screamed at her to stop.

She gestured to the sun to show me that it was in her eyes.

Lady, if you can't see where you're going, do not drive your car in that direction.
