They are also making it worse for the people parked correctly because they might actually have to go around the cars parked illegaly.

MTS should be offended tbh. Spend decades building a rail system that is a North American standard, has the best ridership recovery in the covid era, and has been optimized to serve Petco and the Convention Center, and then the County says “we need your parking garage to get more people downtown”.

Can we stop pretending that if parking was free/cheap it would also be available? The cheaper parking is, the more people drive … www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

If we had actual enforcement this would be easy. Waymo either pays the fine and the class action lawsuit resulting from injury or not block in the bike lane. Free market baby. It pisses me off that people in this country are so horny for law and order, except when it comes to traffic law.

“Kings are dropping like flies” is the phrase I want to hear in the near future.

NIMBYs in Del Mar have pushed SANDAG to add *another* alternative to the Del Mar Tunnel EIR - now not set to finish until 2028, 3 years after the draft. Rather than the 110 mph alignments that would tunnel under their town, their preference is to slow down the US's #2 rail corridor to 25 mph.

Because we hit 50 let’s put this in perspective. This video was recorded on Thursday January 30th around 4:30pm. The green light lasts for 35s and the red light for 100s. So a little more than 25% of the time you’ll have a green light. Which means the bus is over performing with 42%.

“A strong and reliable transit network is not merely a convenience — it is a fundamental public benefit.” www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/03/20/o...

With rising gas prices, public transport becomes even more relevant. Try out @sandiegomts.bsky.social cost calculator and let us know, what your commute is costing you. www.sdmts.com/sites/defaul...

It’s almost as if NIMBYs don’t care about first responders and only use it as a talking point when it helps them to oppose bike lanes.

Community: Can we encourage more people including kids to ride all kinds of bicycles? San Diego: E-bikes are dangerous!

California’s solar and batteries can now produce almost twice the constant output, day and night, as its nuclear plant, at the same reliability as the nuclear plant - but faster, cheaper, cleaner, and safer than the nuclear plant www.youtube.com/shorts/pGwQu...

Let’s clear this up: Too many lanes

Personal vehicles are the single most driver of green house gas emissions. If you are not reducing the number of personal vehicles on the road, you are not serious about solving the climate crisis.

Then why did BART have a Board meeting last week where staff had to explain potential processes for closing the system and filing for bankruptcy?

“Hey I’m Ozempic”

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart 1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks 2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

Scott Peters is either incredibly stupid or just a really bad politician. When dealing with fascists the only tool we have is resistance. Don’t give them inch. If the government shuts down, blame them! Why is that so hard to understand? Source: scottpeters.house.gov/2026/2/peter...

Seems relevant recently.

Is there any way to get this paper without paying $50 to Elsevier?

I’m just surprised he hasn’t appointed Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter into his cabinet.

Translation: Everyone wants change until it affects them.

SANDAG just added the Del Mar NIMBY option to the possible LOSSAN realignments. Can anyone take this agency serious anymore?

dem elected officials need to make it very clear that the next time we are in office, we will have a comprehensive investigation into and prosecution of every ICE agent who has carried out a wrongful arrest or otherwise violated constitutional rights

New USCIS citizenship test is out. 128 instead of 100 questions and from looking at it I would say it’s more difficult and they added a bunch more “patriotic” questions. What’s interesting though is which question they removed…

Can someone explain to me what “Neighbors for a better San Diego / California” mean with their statements against SB 79?

100%! The greenhouse gas reduction in trains does not come from cleaner vehicles. It’s coming from passengers not driving. And if you want to lower emission vehicles, build frikkin’ catenary.
