He just has literally no policy. You can look on his website. Literally nothing of substance. Wholly inadequate to actually be the executive, he comes off as really dumb
I find it extremely funny that the leading opponent of funding BART complained two hours ago that BART was having problems because it was raining and then turns around and complains about the funding which is allocated to fixing the rain problem.
Oct 1, 2019: New @SFBART GM Powers out pushing a $100B tax measure for 2020 (incl. new transbay tube) right after Measure RR’s ~$3.5B gift to BART in 2016. Agency was losing riders and cash.
Proof they planned more taxes before COVID. Expect another one in 2028 post-Measure RTM.

"I have not yet bothered to do any research for the election, but I plan to do so before voting and have a partisan preference" is like an entirely reasonable thing to say? What were they expecting from the last two people???
My opinions at 14 were basically settled into the current opinion set and were almost certainly better than the median voters’.
If you’re seeing *bad* takes from 14 year olds, this is a self admission of guilt. Nobody other than you controls how the algorithm perceives you!
on a scale of 1-10, how admissible is evidence obtained by dutch military intelligence recruiting russian spies who hacked your phone
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
I just spent like 3 weeks trying to understand what you're supposed to do in this situation and how an AV might do the same thing and in a majority of states, "leave a note" is actually exactly what you're supposed to do in this situation.
Is there like some kind of german word for when two people disagreeing with each other repeat the exact same set of words in service of their respective sides
What if we just abolished the field of law entirely and became Chinese or something idk how do we allow these people to have any modicum of influence over real life affairs
Yes, but from my understanding of phasing is that DTX and Transbay II are being planned ~separately and the latter will probably go into serious engineering/funding when DTX is at least under construction
yes, the relevant change is that the crime rate went way down
apologies if this is super naive but just asking bc im curious. is there anything different about raising a kid now in 2026 versus in the 80s that warrants them needing more supervision? like when my dad was like 8 he'd wander around the city alone most of the time. i'm asking bc when i have kids, i dont want to have to supervise them 24/7. i feel like that's very demanding on parents. why cant independent play be more of then norm? is it a cultural thing? or is the world more dangerous now than it used to be?
Did anyone ever get around to fixing that subdivision planning document from the 1930s that described how grids were bad and you should purposefully destroy the road navigability and was somehow still the in-force guidance document today?
Or is that still there
The worst part about lawyers is that there's like a 50-50 chance they're right and you actually have to hear them out. In the other 50% they're proposing totally ludicrous racketeering schemes for their industry with insane frictions but it's hard to tell ex ante.

lawyers, man
And, in fact, digging a tunnel under the Gilroy-Merced mountain range is probably cheaper than Alt G, which would be the intercity-trains-to-Grand-Central project
The other thing about Grand Central is that the longest-distance train to serve the station in the present day goes to Wassaic, an irrelevant exurb 88 miles north of the station. The second furthest goes to New Haven.
There are no intercity trains to Grand Central.
