Close Telegraph to cars immediately!
Berkeley voted years ago to close it by rebuilding the street, but it can be closed to cars immediately with plastic posts and signs
Safety can't wait any longer

my most woke opinion is that any truck/SUV over 4,000 pounds should require a commercial drivers license, increased insurance/registration, more expensive parking, and higher punishments for traffic violations
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I happened to take this very train last night on my commute back home. I immediately reached out to SFMTA to see if they had any footage for me to edit together, and we made it happen! Bye bye Breda 🫶, you were the OG Muni train I remembered when I first came to San Francisco as a little person.
SFMTA's Breda light-rail vehicles were officially retired Wednesday, Nov. 12, after more than three decades in service. Introduced during the 1990s dot-com boom, the Breda fleet became a Muni staple, logging more than 10 million passenger trips across the city.

I am not a crazy ideologue. I just think that the richest society in human history has a moral responsibility to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, treat the sick, and house the homeless. If doing that requires forcing comfortably-housed people to accept neighborhood change, I'm ok with that.
Probably the key part of this piece. It comes down to the following: "What does prioritizing millionaire homeowners’ aversion to change over the needs of the poor and unhoused do to our souls?"
