I don’t think I ever in my life want to live further than walking difference from a late night taco truck. How do y’all survive without one? 🌮

This close to MacArthur BART, it should be illegal to build anything less than 5 stories.
Proposal for a 3-story, 13-unit (2 affordable) +1 ADU to replace the surface lot at 4127 MLK: aca-prod.accela.com/OAKLAND/…. No rendering yet.

Transmission is our biggest barrier to a 100% emissions-free grid.
Fun fact: There were 1,280 gigawatts of clean power projects stuck waiting in queues to connect to the grid as of the end of 2022.
If 50% of those were built, that would be all the new capacity needed to cut US GHGs to 50% of peak levels by 2030 & be on path to net-zero by 2050.

The @nytimes Daily episode today re: SVB is absolutely awful. It’s not risky to put your money in a bank. The podcast absolutely misses the thread that thousands of small businesses would have failed if their deposits weren’t made whole.

Large electric vehicles produce just as much emissions as smaller gasoline-powered cars (plus they kill more people).

We should really stop glorifying these monstrous EVs. GIVE ME SMALL CARS AND GOOD PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, JOE!!!!!!
On my watch, the great American road trip is going to be fully electrified.
And now, through a tax credit, you can get up to $7,500 on a new electric vehicle.

IMO @SFBART should have built the new tunnel, extended it across the Bay, and taken over Muni. Muni trains are too small, unreliable, and infrequent, and the regional integration is subpar.
Take BART to Powell, transfer to the newly opened @SFMTA_Muni Union Square station and take it to Chinatown/Rose Pak station. Get some flowers, treats, fruits, snacks and some air this weekend. ✅

This tweet is also confusing!! What station is the delay at? Trains are flowing, so am I delayed if I’m waiting on the platform at Embarcadero or if I got on a train at Balboa?? @SFBART
There is a 20-minute delay on the San Francisco Line in the SFO, Millbrae, Daly City and East Bay directions due to an equipment problem on the track and police activity.

This tweet is incredibly confusing. The Oakland Airport line is the people mover from OAK to Coliseum. It doesn’t go to Dublin. @SFBART
BART is recovering from an earlier problem. There is a 20-minute delay on the Oakland Airport Line in the Dublin / Pleasanton and Berryessa directions due to police activity at Coliseum.

Yes please! @OakDOT, what is the delay here? I could paint a crosswalk here in 2 hours.
Entering my 4th calendar year trying to get @OakDOT to simply install a crosswalk at the Adams/Chetwood 580 bridge. Without it, @rideact route 57 bus riders must run across the overbuilt Santa Clara Ave stroad through the always-speeding traffic.

I haven't been super productive in the first workday of 2023, but at least I did more than the House.

The takeaway is that public transit in the outer SF neighborhoods is horrible. The 38, N, L, and 14, and T that connect these outer neighborhoods are slow, crowded, and unreliable. Transfers to BART are bad. So people want to use cars.
The votes to keep JFK closed to cars are very interesting. What is your takeaway?
