Hottest day since October in San Francisco! 83 degrees! #CAwx

My friends (and leaders in the @cademocrats.bsky.social and @sfdemocrats.org boards respectively) Ruth Ferguson (ADEM) and @mikechensf.com recorded a cute video telling the good people why they support ensuring we as a state continue to fund local and regional transit💙💙💙

Today, the message was clear: transit is not optional. Fund transit now.

When PA ignored SEPTA's plea for emergency funding, Philly lost 20% of its transit service and riders faced 21% higher fares. CA has until Tuesday to offer loan to avoid worse fate in Bay Area. Please call Newsom and attend Monday rally. Details below 🧵 actionnetwork.org/events/emerg...

It is unfortunate that Governor Gavin Newsom is reneging on a commitment to fund Bay Area transit until we can pass long-term solutions. Agencies including @sfmta.com have few options. There may be drastic cuts to service in 2026, right when voters will be asked to raise taxes for transit.

Some TV coverage on efforts on the @sfmta.com to reduce crashes and injuries through daylighting. By keeping intersections clear of parked cars, pedestrians crossing the street are more visible to people driving through intersections. www.youtube.com/watch?v=brOD...

I am so glad "why tariff banana" thought is reaching members of Congress. It's the most obvious example of how insane this administration's trade policy has been—officials like Lutnick can't give a good justification for it because there simply isn't one

This is an incredible Op ed about San Diego and California housing politics everybody should read www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/arti...

I took transit from Los Angeles International Airport to the Anaheim Convention Center for the California Democratic Convention Party: - LAX Flyaway Shuttle bus to LA Union Station - MetroLink OC Line to Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center - OC Transit bus 553 to W Katella/Harbor.

🧵 (I'm going to keep my answer very narrow and limited to Korea) "Cleanliness" esp in public spaces is often a loaded topic, and without dismissing other factors, I believe public janitorial issue is mainly an equation of labor + allotted budget. simply, Korea puts a ton of manpower to cleaning

Traffic safety is a priority in our office, and I'd like your input! What cross streets do you feel most concerned about? Would you like a speed hump, raised crosswalk, or painted safety zone in your neighborhood? These measures are proven to reduce speeding and decrease pedestrian collisions.

I would simply not raise the price to build homes in a housing shortage.

What's going on today downtown? Heavy traffic? #SanFrancisco

You may have heard there’s an informational hearing about San Francisco’s new rezoning map? We are here in Room 400 doing it live! And I’m sure people will say some absolutely bonkers things. Been a while since I’ve done one of these so please forgive me if I’m a lil rusty!

Ridership on DC's Metrorail has accelerated into spring as the federal government called employees back to the office. WMATA system overall hit >1,000,000 riders one day in late March; expect more million-rider days soon. Graphic by Jonathan Schwabish: public.flourish.studio/visualisatio...

Folks. It’s finally happening. After 2.5 years of meetings, and countless years of advocacy prior, including the passage of numerous state laws to reform the CA housing planning regime known as “RHNA” we finally have a draft proposal to change SF’s zoning codes 😍 www.sfexaminer.com/news/housing...

I am gift-linking the NYT live-blog of reactions to the tariffs, from business writers and their sources, but also foreign correspondents and theirs, ditto politics, because it is quite the document on how fucked up this all is: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.
