The East Bay Times editorial against Measure RTM is so bad I had to refute it. Bad argument after inaccurate statement and then completely ignoring AC Transit's existence because it disproves their core argument that cuts over service improves transit. darrellowens.substack.com/p/voting-aga...

Voting Against The Bay Area Transit Measure Is a Fatal Mistake

A walkable SF depends on frequent, reliable public transit. That’s why we need to vote YES on Measures H & RTM! If we don’t pass both measures on Nov. 3, transit service will be gutted. We CAN’T let this happen. Being able to get around on foot + transit = essential for SF.

The thing about all these suddenly concerned 'fiscal realists' is that they're late to the party. The time to analyze these agencies' budgets line by line was at least 5 years ago. Today, in 2026, we're voting between the status quo and complete gridlock. Period

Perhaps nowhere in America is the divide between auto-oriented and Walkable City environmentalists more clear than in San Francisco, where democrat Connie Chan is running for Congress as a “pro-car progressive,” who aims to convert Sunset Dunes Park into a high-speed highway.

I’ve had some talks with transit-friendly but very tax-weary friends locally about how RTM felt to them bit like a hostage ransom, and I explained as best I can that the stakes are actually this high and this stark based on how the measure passes or fails. Don’t overthink it!

In addition to taking back the CalTrain name/brand the state should be running a lot more intercity buses under a name like CalBus. The intercity bus network is the easiest and cheapest part of the state rail plan to implement. We can also have buses run future rail routes to kickstart ridership

if you ever wonder how Americans became the richest major country on the planet but most of us still feel so poor, looking at what we spend on cars — not just directly but in tax money for infrastructure and space in the built environment — is the answer.

There is no more effective way to reduce car driving than reducing the amount of parking available. It is by far the best way to protect the environment, fight climate change, and improve mobility by any other mode. Every parking space that is removed from this earth is a policy victory.
