Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Just give Sound Transit permitting authority over their own land. We do that for the Port of Seattle already.

With the removal of I-980, BART should build an additional station at 27th Street to fill an obnoxious urban gap and use Caltrans funds to contribute. Hoover-Foster has sufficient population density and Northgate has been densified tremendously. Let's get this rolling now.

nina turner is unique in the way in which her career has demonstrated the pathologies of both the Democratic left (low-trust grifter incapable of organizing a child's birthday party) and center (incompetent suck-up who rose through party offices, on charter school payroll, aggrieved at tiny slights)
all else aside it's absolutely hilarious to me that someone is stating in what-is-assumed-to-be-good-faith that the Democratic National Committee, an organization that mostly does paperwork for other politicians, could or should organize mass civil disobedience
Nina Turner is an unserious grifter

In 2024 Oakland implemented a 4 car lane to 1 car lane road diet on 13th St in Downtown using only paint. It’s not perfect but this relatively cheap change has helped a lot w speeding.

The YVRR should be added to the California State rail plan & rebuilt ASAP. A new alignment to deal with shifts and encroachment of the original ROW would be needed.
Then after it's complete, running with new swiss style equipment, (electric, large windows) automobiles are fully banned.

Reminder that until 1945 you could take a train to Yosemite!
From sleepy Merced, the Yosemite Valley RR swept passengers on a winding route through the scenic foothills, delivering tourists straight to El Portal!
No doubt, such a train would be well used, given Yosemite's typical grueling traffic.
