Scenes from the Waymo meltdown during a long power outage in SF. It was dumber than dumb. When suburban car and gig drivers tried to leave at once it reminded us of how many cars are crammed into the city. 24 hours later City Hall still has no power. Time to revisit the Raker Act and municipalize.

And again and again and again and again. The leadership on stopping this is just lame. They just want to lower fines and make parking on the street easier for private car drivers. Negligent homicide. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/h...

www.ktvu.com/news/child-d... Question - where did this child get hit? Street? Sidewalk? Inside garage? We need to know. There are many policy implications depending on where it happened. We need to know. @streetsblogsf.bsky.social (I think sidewalk and car centric design but waiting for answers)

SF has had relentless dense and cold tule fog for 3 weeks. The steady NE wind carrying the fog into the city smells like an oil refinery. It's especially noticeable on the south side of the bridge and in the Presidio. I also smell it every time I leave my apartment in the morning. Probably Chevron.

Mayor Daniel Lurie what are you really going to do about the violence of motorists in San Francisco? It is out of control. Cameras only catch them after the kill/injury of innocents. And no, the computers driving cars will kill too. My computer crashes all the time. I am sure yours does too.

Oh my, what a bad pick by the San Francisco AI -Blue Jeans billionaires. Dumber than dumb. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/o...
Mayor Lurie’s pick for Sunset supervisor ran pet shop that ‘smelled like death,’ new owner says
The woman described Beya Alcaraz as someone who “cannot run a business,” and said the mayor’s office never spoke to her about the new supervisor’s track record as a business owner.

If Democrats want to help, emphasize the "fast bus" part and pledge to make it happen. In other words, take away private car space on the streets. Democrats in SF are especially weak on this (fyi).
