Coming from a place that continues to block bike / safe streets infra & housing, which drives its mayoral races. Hope things continue to move forward by HCD & advocates.

Sausalito’s vote for more housing could create the unthinkable: Urban density in Marin County
The influx of development would be radical change for the city on the water, which permitted just 58 housing units between 2015 and 2022

These cuts would devastate ridership, reducing fares, requiring more cuts, devastating fares, until Caltrian is no more. This is an existential moment for public transit and housing.

One of my fav photos of Speaker Emerita Pelosi, namely because I took it. The Bay Area and California really relied on her governance and ability as Speaker to deliver federal funds. An example is Doyle Drive.

The cold front is expected to move through fairly quickly… otherwise the rain totals shown here would be quite a bit higher. But also keep in mind much of what you see might fall just within an hour or two, which makes some roadway impact likely. #CAwx 11/4/2025

I was there for this early morning protest at the Fairmount in 2002. The SF mine troupe was amazing. Ed Holmes, the Cheney impersonator, was brilliant. They had him in chains and getting arrested!

Now we've got former mayor Rick Bonilla. He's speaking in strong support -- saying that more housing is exactly what San Mateo needs. We need homes near transit, and this project delivers them in a walkable, vibrant way.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.
