My take on #AB1401 : Parking is an amenity. Developers will provide it when it's needed to make a project appealing. It's like a pool or a fitness room or a dog pee area. Cities don't require any of those but some buildings have them. Parking can work the same way.

@FitzTheReporter For both Chesa and the school board I found it very weird that there was almost nobody talking about what I consider a huge problem - voting out the incumbents without a clear idea of the replacement.

Uber and Lyft work very hard trying to convince transportation planners like me that they cut down on 🚘 ownership & driving. If I’m getting these ads in my feed then someone’s algorithm needs rewriting.

You'd never know it from this, but actually, the mode of transportation that gets you closest to the front door of the de Young is...🥁🥁🥁 Muni. The 44 O'Shaughnessy, to be exact.

Are there any urban design or transportation planning or engineering programs that include learning about the world from the point of view someone mobility impaired? Spend a day shadowing a person in a wheelchair, try getting through your commute with a boot on your foot, etc?

I’ve started listening to an episode of @TheWarOnCars each morning as I walk to work. It gets me fired up for the work day. I guess that’s what the millennial youngsters might call “on brand.”

It's not an either/or. A place to play and recreate is also a street that promotes and supports sustainable transportation. Recreation isn't frivolous, it's essential; transportation isn't just about movement, the trip itself plays a huge part in quality of life.

The problem in SoCal isn't density, it's overcrowding - which is due to a lack of density.

The problems in the TL are from decades of neglect/lack of compassion/political gamesmanship, it's going to take many efforts over many years to make things better, and a "state of emergency" approach is an abomination.

I don't think it helps San Francisco to have leaders who are using the City as a stepping stone for something more. We're too heavy on politics and too light on policy as is.

Pretty much everything about working on Great Highway has been an incredible experience, but hearing about and witnessing the opportunities it’s created for disabled people takes it to a whole other level.

@colinmdownes So, a few things: I presume you mean trains, because I have never met anyone who said they'd rather sit on a bus than drive, though I suppose they probably exist.

I don’t think parks should be full Sun or full shade. A mix is ok. A change that will add some shade to a park isn’t something to be avoided at all costs.

Here’s a modest proposal: when this is done, let’s keep all this WFH systems in place and break them out again on #SparetheAir days.

While all of @sfmta_muni is abuzz with excitement about @jeffreytumlin joining us on Monday, lets appreciate the leaders who brought us through. @veedubyou has been outstanding as Director of Sustainable Streets while Tom Maguire was Interim Director. Plus, she's 💯 awesome.

Housing developers and everyone advocating for #SB423 and other housing bills should be right there with @Scott_Wiener on the front lines screaming for transit to be funded. Low or zero parking, key to CA's housing strategy, only works if there's frequent reliable 24/7 transit.
