“this should be 65 separate 5,000 pound cars” —the stupidest fucking venture capitalist in san francisco
For 20% of SF's public transit budget you could buy and run a fleet of 15,000 Waymos and let everyone ride for free. Thats enough to cover the entire ridership of SF's public bus system with much better service.
Assumptions:
-Conservative 12 year average life of the Waymo with zero value recouped at the end
- $120k purchase price per Waymo
-$8k/year/waymo in operating costs
-Finance purchase with 12 year loan at SF municipal bond rate of 4.85%
-$0 in fares!

Just a reminder— how Dems fight matters a hell of a lot more than phone book sized policy proposals sent from the wilderness.
And no better fight than this one right here.

Finally, Uber increased it's prices 92% between 2018 and 2021 of it's own volition. Pointing at a 4.5% tax to fund far more efficient public transit while leaving that out is only telling a very small part of the ride-hail cost story.

My final pitch on Prop L to voters who both use Muni and reluctantly use ride-hail services when needed. People like me.
Prop L is going to save you money over baseline.

Sounds like a good technology to base the entire future of your rail network on California!

It's very unusual that you can know with confidence what the Founding Fathers would've thought about a modern political controversy but "Catholic aristocrats try and seize control of the government" is a rare exception.
Sir Sam? Justice Alito was knighted in 2017 by a group devoted to restoring “aristocratic principles.” nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…

For better or worse, he's locked out of a presidential bid for like another generation
I wonder if he'll actually start caring about being the executive for California

There's a chaos caucus in our politics. The seriousness of our elected leaders can be measured by whether they think these people need to be defeated or pandered to.
@RashiKesarwani, you're a warrior. Keep at it.
