I think it was more about “equity” taking priority as a principle over anything else. If kids fail less because the ceiling is lowered, that’s still preferable over more progress for some but not all. In many ways this is exactly how communists think.

Can someone explain to me why she’s labeled a “progressive”? There’s nothing progressive about her housing/transit stance as D1 Supervisor from the past 5 years.

The paper also links to their interactive data viz tool which is a lot more fun to explore with: citiesmoving.com/visualizatio...

Half way between a Petty Activist and a Sensible Tech Bro, depending on my baseline stress level.

Yes. I'd go even further on speed cap. 25mph is fairly fast considering 15mph is a decent speed for riders of non-motorized bikes. If a 175-lb person travel on a heavy (say, 75lbs) motorized bikes travel at 25mph, their momentum is more than 2x that of the same person on a 25lbs bike at 15mph.

I think it is reasonable to consider momentum (mass x speed) as the primary risk factor, and instead of enforcing what's a moving violation (low % of success even with good enforcement), better pushing 2-wheelers that are both heavy and fast beyond a momentum threshold to be registered for a fee.

If the primary produces two candidates from two different parties, people largely vote along party line in GE. This was what happened in the last senate race. Given she’s the current leader in the primary, she may not need the Trump voters if she comes out as first and 2nd place is a GOPer.

D all the way.

They are the parents/family of the SOMA Asians, but very different from the Sunset/Richmond Asians.

My impression is these are not the same Asians. The Asians that move to Dog Patch for AI/biotech jobs have near zero direct social connections to the multi-generational, SFH-owning Asians on the west side of the city.

I do think the block configuration of the Mission makes this exact design hard (trucks need access). But (north-bound) one way plus loading zone still very much feasible. Increasingly S.F. food delivery is carried by e-bikes, and even that lane can be car free in the evening.

The systems was designed when all branches were relatively independently minded. But party power and dynamics undermines that assumption. Having two highly powerful political parties and a winner-take-all election lead to instability.

All it takes is Option-Shift-(en dash) on a macOS keyboard, I don't know how people can so confidently judge LLM writing when they cannot even competently do a basic search to figure out if it is actually hard to type em-dashes.
