Really would be nice if Caltrans could be held liable for designing our streets so poorly. But in vetoing #SB127 , @GavinNewsom thinks the status quo is just fine. Nothing wrong with endangering lives and, with climate change coming, keeping Caltrans roads 100% focused on cars.

@mnolangray Been told my many of my friends parents that "You don't deserve to live here" and "We worked hard to buy a place here, you should too." Yes, I too would like to "work hard" by landing in California in 1980 and buying a $3m home for $90k and then getting tax subsidies ever since

@alex_lee @streetsforall Have you considered the fact that, while this will save lives, it will make it 1% harder for wealthy people to park? So it's impossible to say if it's good or not

@jimmygandhi @paulgb @tylercowen If only there were a way to financially incentivize people to take other routes or drive at off peak hours. Hrm.

@CBSNewYork Is there any other way that Long Island Republicans could get to NYC without driving? I wonder if we could build some kind of shared ride service into the city. Maybe put it on tracks and build tunnels for it? Would that help them?

The way San Francisco taxes businesses is mind bogglingly dumb. The fact that one employer (Cruise) with pretty miniscule could be overcharged by $100m is off-the-charts insane.

GM, parent company of Cruise, sues San Francisco for $121M, saying it was wrongly taxed - The San...

The automaker is challenging the city's calculations for taxes dating to 2016.

@mnolangray As @Parking_Reform member Anne put it: If parking is valuable, then it should be priced accordingly, right? If parking is not valuable, then why should the city subsidize it?

@Qagggy Sorry, but remind me, are drivers in cars allowed to have the windows up and play music? That will surely get them arrested or held liable for any ensuing accident, right?

@CMRaulCampillo When a car runs me over and I lie dying on the pavement, it will be great to see that sharrow just ahead on the road, reminding me that I was protected (from nothing)

@alisonmartino It's true — totally out of scale with new construction. Should be way bigger.

@REALJenHarman You should ask your cousin how he time traveled back to 2011 and teleported to Hwy 88 (which is not the way to get from Reno to Tahoe)!

@JackieFielder_ @sbuss Nothing on that mailer says it's from a government entity, except for, you know, the part at the bottom that specifically says it's a paid mailer. Also, acts are legal or illegal. There's no such thing as extremely illegal. Except maybe blocking bike lanes with a bus.

@wafoli I will vote for the first mayoral candidate that promises to fix the all-caps vs title case inconsistency in our street signs.

@rice_rust_belt While I'm loving their transit focus, I can't help but think they could change transpo habits 10x faster/cheaper by just creating safe bike infrastructure. It's such a perfect biking region.

@agarwal In summary: Trains are such a better way to travel, especially with kids, but man oh man are American trains frustratingly slow. If you're not in a hurry though, strongly recommend long-distance Amtrak!

@stan_okl Gotta spend 5 years ensuring transit is good for the environment, 4.5 getting "feedback" and then 6 months actually building it.
