Bikes and apartments are good, cars and sprawl are bad.

I get that rebalancing street design away from car dominance is inconvenient to those whose lifestyle is fully oriented around driving. But personal passenger vehicles are the No 1 source of GHG emissions in CA. Taking action to address this isn't "environmentalism gone awry", it's a core component.
"Berkeley resident Max Lynn watched in disbelief last month as the City Council voted to eliminate over half of the parking spaces on Hopkins Street in favor of bike lanes. Not because he's anti-environment, but because he viewed it as environmentalism gone awry.
"I've lived here for 23 years, and I've ridden bikes, walked, ran, driven cars up and down the street the whole time," Lynn said. "I'm not sure why they need to be so radical. It's almost militant.""Chart of "2023 GHG Emissions by Scoping Plan Sector and Sub-Sector." showing transportation as the biggest pie piece at 37.1% and passenger vehicles specifically at 28.3%

Today East Bay Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan introduced the "E-Bike Accountability Act", proposing mandatory registrations & license plates for all Class 2 & 3 e-bikes. Learn more & join us in opposition to this counter-productive proposal by signing our petition at bikeeastbay.org/SayNoToEbike...

@nytimes.com what the FUCK are these this headlines. This isn't an "up for debate " kinda thing, there is a video. The headline should say what it shows, "a woman being murdered by ICE". www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Seems like getting your drivers license revoked after going 100 mph+ should be the norm, rather than one possible outcome of an experimental pilot program. www.latimes.com/california/s...

It has been zero days since a speeding, light-running SUV destroyed an AC Transit bus and a building, and zero weeks since a drunk 90-year-old drove his car into a cafe at 110 MPH, and yet my feed contains mostly the bitter complaints of people who have directed their anti-capitalist vibes at Waymo.

Scott Wiener doesn't care about your "neighborhood character." He just thinks we need a lot more housing. Now, he's running for Nancy Pelosi's seat.

Scott Wiener defeated California’s NIMBYs. Can he fix America’s housing crisis?
By running for Nancy Pelosi's House seat, he's putting the abundance theory to the test.

For the first time in history, since the Bay Conservation & Development Commission (BCDC) was formed in 1965, they voted to reduce public access & close 4 miles of Bay Trail along the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge four days/week for 3 years.

@bart.gov when are you gonna fix this dumb UI that has 4 pages for the info that would easily fit on 2. Nobody needs to know how long the train in 30 minutes is, just the next train.

it’s pretty funny how the list of opposition to SB79 (an amazing bill to legalize dense housing near transit) is half groups like “united communists for community justice” and the other half is “suburban millionaires’ homeowner association”

Is there anywhere else with such stark intra-city segregation than Orange County? Newport Beach: 75% White; Santa Ana: 75% Hispanic/Latino; Irvine: 45% Asian, 35% White, 11% Hispanic/Latino

With @adenaishii.bsky.social's victory as mayor, Measure FF's victory for funding safe streets, a clear majority of City Council in favor of safe streets, and the results of this poll, #Berkeley just sent very strong and clear signals that we want more bike infrastructure throughout the city. 🚲❤️🚲

For all those who think our cities have no more room for housing, an abandoned Burger King in Jersey City will become 607 housing units…

Democrats need to embrace making it easier & faster to produce the things people need — e.g., housing, clean energy, child care, transit — & move away from government-created scarcity. An abundance approach lowers cost of living. Democrats need to lean into being the Party of abundance.

If you're going to have a celebratory event with pro-housing types, try to time it so the pro-housing candidate in a local race pulls ahead in an otherwise depressing election cycle. Vibes were immaculate at the @eastbayforeveryone.bsky.social gala last night. 10/10 would recommend

With 84.6% of 2020's turnout now counted, Adena Ishii has taken the lead for Berkeley mayor! With the late count trend, we can now comfortably say she will win the election. Adena has championed safe streets and housing in her campaign. Her victory will make a huge difference in Berkeley's future.
Round 4 ranked choice vote results from the Official Election Site of Alameda County, showing Adena Ishii with 24,625 votes (51.21%) and Sophie Hahn with 23,120 votes (48.79%)

Who all should I include in a “SF Bay Area Transit, Walk, & Roll” starter pack? I think I’ve already identified most of the people/orgs I already follow, but I’m sure there are plenty more. go.bsky.app/CCdA322
