Editor, writer. Kinda quiet. New here and I'll probably read more than talk. Bikes, streets, music, ethics + infrastructures of care, SF Bay.

(sources in alt text; print by @chrisarvinsf.bsky.social)
Chart published December 12 in the SF Chronicle: "Share of jobs paying over $500K, $1M and $2M per year by U.S. metro area, according to estimates from payroll company ADP." San Francisco tops the list, with 2.08% of jobs paying over 500K and 0.54% over 1 million. These figures are nearly double the runner-up, Austin. New York is third. News headline: "SFMTA, BART, Caltrain host meeting as agencies could face $700M deficit in 2027." Published September 24, ABC 7 News. Graphic print by Chris Arvin of Transit Supply. A drawing of a bus is in the center, above text that reads, "Tax the Rich / Fund the Bus." The background is bright red. Mathing it up: 4.7 million jobs in Bay Area (source: Federal Reserve Economic Data) 2.1% of jobs pay over $500K (source: ADP) Small text reads, "like, not even counting investment income" x 10,000 dollars = 1 billion for transit funding
