Combining cars and bikes will lead to death. The idea is not smart and no amount of thoughts and prayers is doing to change that. This is part of the war on cars and it has gone way too far in Burlingame.
I think you just made my point for me. Please, tell me when is the time for the moral high ground? The excuse you offer could be used for any and all reprehensible behavior - and it is, but we call the other side out for those acts. Want to wear it like Trump does?
If voters believe what is happening in Texas is illegal (it appears not to be) and/or immoral or void of a standard of ethics, then it it is impossible for California to violate the constitution of this state by this workaround being proposed, without being 100% hypocritical. You can't ca…
Robots are not an answer. They are sexy, but expensive and foolish. Most are back to commuting, but they are not going to SF, which is what the model is based on. The tax suckers will do just that, if the taxpayers allow it - which I am convinced they will. Just wait for the campaigns to …
Kudos to Jackie for voting no on this proposal, but one has to wonder if the now over 10% sales tax (if this passes) was chief among the reasons, or if it was only the control issue which caused this vote. Hope it was both. The same people who cheer when the agency employees get outsized …

In what appears to be a nearly scripted reality show scene, Padilla had to work very hard to make Noem look like the reasonable one. Both look like jerks. Being elected does not give one license to act the way he did at her press conference. He had no right to interrupt her and everyone i…
KDM has made the right analysis of the history of this project. The notion that the way to change the way people live is to force it by the adoption of these silly projects with little or no parking on the assumption that everyone will ride the train. Well, they won't and they never were …
I am reasonably certain that Kevin did not vote for Trump and is against everything he is doing as a matter of principle. The problem is not with him, it is the party which support two candidates in both Biden and then Harris, who could not win. Those who supported their nominations (incl…
The really sad thing happening here is that the taxpayers get to pay for this nonsense. First to install these lanes and now, to take them out. The streets were paid for by the taxpayers and both cars and bikes can use them. The parking was established because it was needed. Taking away t…
