It’s interesting that when bad things happen in coastal liberal cities that’s held to be the fault of the local elected officials whereas when bad things happen in rural heartland areas that’s held to be the fault of urban coastal elites.

Remember that in the time since California started one high-speed rail line that will never be completed, China built this entire high-speed rail network from scratch:

Ending car-free Hayes Street on weekends is tragic & makes exactly zero sense.
Car-free Hayes Street has been a massive success — for businesses, residents & visitors. People love it.
Why on earth would the City get rid of it? sfstandard.com/2023/07/25/sa…

It’s a shame that @DeanPreston fighting so hard to protect Nordstrom’s valet parking lot from new apartments couldn’t save it in the end 🥲
BREAKING: Nordstrom is planning to close both of its Downtown San Francisco stores, choosing not to renew its lease obligations at its location in the Westfield Mall. It will also close a second nearby Downtown Nordstrom Rack.
More information below. ⬇️ sfstandard.com/business/nord…
Valencia street’s beauty and vibrancy is one of SF’s top examples of what’s-possible with urban living - let’s make it better for the density of walkers and bikers.!!
SFMTA’s center cycle track for Valencia puts:
👎🏻 Parking over People
👎🏻 Cars over Climate
👎🏻 Bad design over Business
@BetterValencia (curbside protected bike lanes) is:
❤️ Better for safety
🌎 Better for climate
🏪 Better for business

Automated Speed Enforcement works. New York's new report on the program has made that absolutely clear.
There was a 73% reduction in speeding at sites with Automated Speed Enforcement cameras.
It's simple: California needs to pass ASE to save lives.

This is ridiculous.
San Francisco has real issues - like dirty streets - that the Department of Public Works should be focused on. Not this.

San Francisco needs to provide medical and mental health treatment to the untreated.
This isn't simply about housing.
We should stop using the word "homeless" to describe people who are severely mentally ill and addicted.

My essay in Sunday's @sfchronicle argues that CEQA reform depends on leadership from @CAgovernor & courts and gives examples of what they can do.
Some folks have asked what I'd prioritize on the legislative front. Here's a short 🧵 in response. 1/12

Yesterday the Treasury Department clarified that buying a colossal electric pickup truck like the Ford F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T qualifies you for a $7,500 federal tax break.
Meanwhile, buying an e-bike still gets you nothing.

Let's make 2023 the year of the e-bike rebate in San Francisco (or better yet, all of California).
What do you say @MattHaneySF @Scott_Wiener @LondonBreed - are you in?

A Christmas Eve surprise from Court of Appeal in UC Berkeley "students are pollution" CEQA case.
tl,dr: UC Berkeley & state housing + antidiscrimination policy got a lump of coal in their stockings.
CEQA is about to get much, much worse unless the Leg or the AG steps in. 1/25

Jessica landed in the hospital last Thursday. A series of seizures, 12 or so in a day, she’s been in hospital since getting treated and methadone. She will be released today. She will go directly to 7 and mission. I wish there was something I could do to stop this now.

🧵 overdose island 2022. let me be very clear here, overdose is a direct result of unchecked drug dealing all over soma and tenderloin. Fentanyl is the greatest killer to adults 18-45. I’ve administered narcan multiple times this year. I’m not a medic. I’m a chef. 1/many
Stuart Collins retweeted
Local leaders should March down to the tenderloins and soma and wait for the drug dealers to get arrested. And wait. And wait. This is 🍌

One of my favorite pastimes is informing drivers who feel inconvenienced by what we are doing why we do it to begin with. #KidsFirst #SafeSchools #VisionZero #bike
