We need to stop falling for this shit.
"A world of material abundance" is not what we're building. And displacing entire categories of jobs would not be the way to get there. Stupid.

San Francisco's Tenderloin is home to more than drugs and violence. It also has the Heart of the City farmers' market — best damn market in town. GREAT prices.

Meanwhile, here's daily vehicle miles traveled in San Francisco.
This is interesting. Not MUCH change over time since 2020, though a SLIGHT upward trend. BUT! Compare that to pre-pandemic! Car traffic has not even reached pre-COVID levels! Source: congestion.sfcta.org
Yet, "the cars are winning"!

FWIW, here are Clipper Card BART trip starts **seemingly systemwide** over the last year. See that general upward trend? Source: Same as in preceding post.
I'd provide more clarity but, hey, nobody's paying me to do that. Pure consternation is fueling this free work, right now.

Here's a table showing BART ridership at San Francisco stations. The far-right %s compare today to a year ago. E.g., there are 13.3% more riders at Embarcadero today. Source: June 2025 snapshot www.bart.gov/about/report...
No, idk what exactly "ridership" means -- trip "starts"? ::shrug::

This is an ugly graph, horrible for popular consumption, sure. But it's useful. Muni ridership. Each line is a distinct year. The highest-ridership lines are pre-pandemic. Orange is current year. As you can see, ridership has been steadily increasing! Source: www.sfmta.com/reports/muni...
