If Paris, Tokyo, London, et al can have insanely good public transit, where a significant number of households don't own cars (50% of Londoners, 2/3 of Tokyoites, 2/3 of Parisians), then San Francisco can do the same. The dream of amazing public transit in SF is possible.
Hi @X, please reinstate the @seamlessbayarea account! All we did was report a fraudulent account that was using our brand & name - we didn't violate any rules. It's clearly a mixup. But it's been over 72hrs since our appeal; we still got no explanation of what rules we broke.1/2
It's official - the iconic Castro Theatre blade is being restored 👷 We can't wait to see it shine again 💡
I’m excited to serve on the @SFDemocrats alongside @bilalmahmood (quite literally!).

We are actually making progress on tackling climate change! We have managed to basically halt the previously inexorable rise of CO2 emissions. The energy of the future is solar.

SF Supes argued that parking meter increases are regressive, knowing @SFMTA_Muni would instead have to increase transit fares to protect bus service for those who need it the most.

Single Stair Reform, here we come!
“Through incentives and better street design, [San Francisco] can [become the bike-commuting capital of the country].” “How can San Francisco […] become a more e-bike-friendly city? E-bike share, purchase subsidies and [a connected network of protected bike lanes].” Yes, this!
Age is not an indicator of competence or America would be much better run. It’s time young folks have a say in their future! 🗳️🇺🇸🌎

You know you’re winning the conversation when they resort to attacking your credible credibility.

Some will say that fighting climate change is less important than keeping a builder from making a buck. And then claim they’re an environmentalist. 🙄😵💫

We love to see it. The time for games is over, we need solutions to our housing shortage. Legislation that is a step backwards deserves to be vetoed

look i'm about to just block every single person who fails to read before reply-guying to one of my threads I can't both teach y'all to read AND to understand the nuances of the climate crisis come back when you've mastered the basics so I don't have to embarrass you
our ability to observe, understand, and intervene in earth systems is accelerating - enabled by sensors, satellites, ML, genetic engineering this modernization has helped us link the causes and effects of environmental change the next step is to modernize environmentalism: 🧵
this means letting go of the view that we are protecting nature from ourselves. humans are instead the primary *stewards* of nature in this frame a more modern environmentalism will shift us towards "doing more good" rather than "doing less harm" 2/4
our responsibility is therefore to intervene directly/intentionally rather than indirectly/blindly anything less is negligent and a denial of our humanity we must engineer technologies, ecosystems and the planet itself into stable abundance observe, act, repeat 4/4 🌍
the preservation frame demands freezing time, inaction-as-action but truly wild ecosystems are a myth no place on earth is untouched by humanity we are pumping 29 million tons of acid per day even into the furthest reaches of the ocean, where no human has ever been 3/4
people will sometimes say that arguing against left NIMBYs is a waste of time because in reality most NIMBYism is right wing, but time and time again you see people in very influential policy making positions making nonsensical “left wing” arguments against market rate housing
Second, Coastal Staff rotely repeat that the coast does not need more market-rate housing, which is false. They refer to the project above (which would build 117 homes affordable to low income people) as "padding the profit margins of luxury developers". Here's an example:
@PIER39 @nancyblanchard You aren’t kidding… 🦭
@PIER39 No wonder I saw so many sea lions in Sacramento the other week. They were priced out of San Francisco due to high real estate values!
Honestly, visiting Fisherman's Wharf is super fun if you know what to do (and what to avoid). See the sea lions, ride the ferris wheel, explore Magowan’s Infinite Mirror Maze, and play vintage arcades at Musée Mécanique. Kids love it! What else do you love near Pier 39?
There's no better time to visit our sea lions! 🦭 🤍 The sea lion count has been the highest its been in 7 years, surpassing a whopping 820 sea lions (and counting)! With a steady food supply from a large school of anchovy, the sea lions are extra active!
why did phoebe just come up and sit back-to-back with me with no explanation
I came across this “America 2050” project that scored every existing rail ROW to see if it’s a good fit for intercity passenger rail. What sticks out to you?
First, the fact the Chronicle doesn’t consider Asians diverse is crazy. Second, we should have more specialized public school programs like Lowell in SF, instead of in-fighting over Lowell, so every child can explore their passions.
@48hills Gleeful at the thought of fewer homes being build? Yeah, checks out for you guys.
@48hills The great thing about low density is it causes urban sprawl and ruins the environment! Very progressive.
I don’t know who *else* needs to hear this, but zero founders have ever gotten seed funding by finding a VC’s private phone number and calling them at 8:30am on a Monday. Ditto 6pm the Friday before Memorial Day, (which happened to me last year.) Or at any time at all.
