The mayor cut routes in market and now his sfmta is making traffic worse with this gift to Waymo.
In complete violation of the intent of the law, based on a loophole Mayor Lurie and Waymo lobbyists have conspired to exploit.
The three ride-hailing operators will continue a pilot program and time limitations could be removed later this month.

if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

Every single day ICE agents are threatening people and terrorizing communities.
We’ve seen ICE pepper spray babies, disappear US citizens, slam distraught mothers and fathers to the ground—now they’re terrorizing St. Paul.

Two unfortunate observations about a lot of US political media:
1) They don't value truth, and distort info in favor of politicians who call them biased, even when the charge is false.
2) They won't stop inviting people who denounce them, even lie to them. If anything, they'll have you on more.

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

They like what Trump is doing, this really isn't hard. It's not both-sideism, it's running cover for the regime by choice in order to reach a desired outcome. Can we please stop cutting this institution slack it does not deserve?
A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

IMO, the most revealing part is Klein wrestling with the question of where "the line" is (between acceptable and unacceptable politics). Realizing that what he considered past the line is now the GOP mainstream doesn't make him commit harder to fighting it. He wonders if he needs to move the line.

SF's inclusionary zoning program works like this too: 10-unit buildings must provide 1 affordable unit or equivalent fee; 1 to 9-unit buildings contribute nothing. It's a disincentive to density! I've always felt the fee should scale linearly.
This under-construction 7-bedroom, $14mm mansion did not have to pay any affordable housing fee.
If you built a five-unit apartment of the same size, it'd need to pay a $360,000 affordable housing fee.
How do five small homes negatively impact affordability more than one mansion?
