Hope they don’t spend all of their $2.73 in royalties in one place.

Electric bicycles are the transportation of the future because they are energy and space efficient AND a delight to ride.

California peeps:

It must be all that housing they aren’t building. www.coastsidenews.com/news/pacific...

Show me you don’t have a fucking clue as to where your food comes from.

The state is urging Half Moon Bay to move forward with a senior farmworker affordable housing project at 555 Kelly Ave. or delay housing element compliance, an issue for which the city has already been admonished. www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/c...

"Robotaxis are safer for whom?"

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Me back home from a trip to Trader Joe’s realizing I bought everything but the one thing I actually went there to buy.

Meanwhile over on Nextdoor, Karen is concerned that building that 4 story apartment will overwhelm the local school district.

"While we're talking about who NOT to vote for, I give you Planning Commissioner and proud ultra-YIMBY, Seema Patel. ... Here she is in a recent picture she posted with Senator Wiener and other YIMBY faithfuls ... to strip all local control from cities" San Mateo - vote for Seema Patel!

There are eight e-bike bills happening in Sacramento this year. Streets For All is sponsoring two of them, and fighting to either amend or oppose six more. Tell your California reps to fix the real e-bike problem. www.streetsforall.org/blog/2026-ca...

Guessing most of the drivers’ texts were posts to Nextdoor ranting about cyclists not stopping, riding two abreast and juvenile hoodlums on e-bikes. patch.com/california/s...

The whole "cyclists are entitled" thing is obviously bullshit, but when it happens it's worth unpacking what those people are really saying: "I don't think cyclists are entitled to ride without the risk of serious injury or death." That's all we are asking for. And it's ghoulish to oppose that.

Amen

If I'm sending you this, I'm seriously asking why people.

High agency is, in the end, the most aristocratic justification for inequality that American capitalism has yet produced, and it’s arrived just in time for the most grotesquely unequal moment in American life since the first Gilded Age. https://bit.ly/3Q8bzrF

Imagine a study that found kids with ADHD have more visits to doctors than kids without ADHD — and used that finding to suggest ADHD treatment doesn't work. That's the standard of evidence the anti-trans braintrust is willing to accept.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

Through the view of one community in San Jose, this article tells the whole story of the Bay Area housing crisis, from the lack of housing to the unequal economy. There's also a section on the negative consequences of Prop 13.

Help maintain San Mateo’s history of suburban sprawl and exclusionary housing policies!

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

California's property tax system works like this. It's likely the previous owner of the house you bought was paying House B levels of property taxes for the past 40 years, tanking the local government's revenue. And then when you buy the house, you pay $50K per year in property taxes.

Beware of candidates who claim to be pro-affordable housing and small business while fighting against building any new homes.

What the fuck is going over on Threads with broligarchs protecting fellow broligarch pedophiles?

Does any North American city have more boba shops per capita than San Mateo?

Inclusionary zoning is bad policy and we should stop doing it.

This is what it looks like when you consider the safety of the people on the outside of the vehicle.

“Complicated” as in a handful of affluent homeowners are miffed.

I’M INSTEAD STARING AT MY PHONE.

Empty-nest baby boomers own nearly 30% of the country’s homes with three or more bedrooms, a previous Redfin study showed, while millennials with kids only own about 14% of them. www.sfgate.com/california/a...

Rare to see Africa front and center in photos of Earth.

Came to substitute work assignment at high school this morning to be met with a detailed lesson plan AND a seating chart which includes students’ preferred names and pronouns. I wish more teachers would leave such details.

Not to be controversial but I don’t think adding some affordable apartments to your town transforms it into Dubai

New Colma PD program announced April 1.

god forbid the hired help is actually allowed to live in Atherton.

This is one of the most offensive, victim blaming videos I’ve ever seen on pedestrian safety. Appalling that a county government thinks this is humorous. For me, someone who’s been hit by a car while walking as well as nearly missed many hundreds of times, it wasn’t funny, it was triggering.

It's the fucking law that drivers have to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks you victim blaming assholes

I remain shocked at how much American cities hate their inhabitants unless they’re driving a big car.

this is turning out to be one of the onion's all-time classics

Drivers, obey the rules of the road. When people see drivers actually stop at stop signs, street lights and crosswalks while students are crossing, and killing 10s of thousands of people a year while staring at their phones, you'll stop being harassed.
