@drivingmzstacey @unionstreetsf We’re also comparing a brand new bike to a (likely old) used car here. This is not a reasonable comparison to make.

@Cristopher @unionstreetsf For the sake of discussion, let’s ignore bike-only families: how many families do you know with two cars who could save money by just having one car + an ebike? I’d guess a few.

@Cristopher @unionstreetsf It’s a truth. One that seems to confuse OP

@SusanDReynolds @TrishGump I’ve biked multiple pets over GGB. Including a 65lb puppy. It was fine?

@thomashawk @DanielLurie Strikes are legal. Tell @HiltonHotels to settle their worker dispute that has been dragging on for months.

@wooster Busses and bus-only lanes are seriously cheap. We don’t need trains. Though trains are indeed great.

@wooster The city just overwhelmingly passed prop M, which basically nuked Prop C from ~2018.

@wooster The city has never made it hard to build new office. And current offices have > 30% vacancy. We’re not getting a thriving downtown without adding non-commuter foot traffic.

@wooster How will housing downtown make anything worse? Good news re housing: the state’s mostly taken away our control here. We have by-right permitting now for a bunch of building types!

@wooster Advocacy has to start from a place of building a better world. I refuse to believe this is the best version of SF that will ever exist.

@graypowell This is a government spending problem, not a corporation spending problem. The subsidies have been coming from the federal government for 70 years.

@graypowell I really wish our fire department were willing to look at International standards. I am very much aligned that physical infrastructure is better than enforcement. Double-wide, concrete-protected bike lands would actually improve response times. Just look at Paris!
