Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 22/06/2026True in SF too. The suburbs tho seem to have it figured out. The SF pools prioritize laps and programming, so we take our kids to the Bay Area 'burbs where public pools are plentiful and open all summer. The scarcity of swim programs for kids is one of the worst parts of raising kids in the city. 000

We'll live-thread the D4 supervisor candidate debate at the Irish Cultural Center to hear about #housing, the Great Highway/Sunset Dunes, and more. The special election is in June. Alan Wong is fighting to keep his seat and the chance to run again in November. 122

There are lots of important priorities in Sacramento, but CA can't afford to clog our roads with traffic. More from SPUR 👇 0174

Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 30/05/2025I’m so excited for this next chapter of advocacy with @streetsforall.org! The work we’ve done at KidSafe SF has been transformative for the city and deeply rewarding, and this is a huge opportunity to expand our scope and impact across California Looking forward to being stronger together 💪 150
Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025But, like, where are the cars going to go here without causing problems? Especially if we're talking about rideshares, who are going to want to pull over anywhere they can to drop people off and pick them up. The geometry just doesn't work. 000
Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025It's unfortunate that Better Market Street was massively scaled back. If Lurie wanted to lead, he would commit to maintaining car-free Market, solving real safety issues, and re-start the Living Innovation Zone program like @lukespray.bsky.social proposed spacecraft.substack.com/p/the-lost-a...spacecraft.substack.comThe Lost Art of the Living Innovation ZoneWith Better Market Street dead, it's time to bring back its prototype 100
Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Flooding Market Street with cars is bad policy. ✅Buses are up to 4 min faster (an unheard of improvement in transit!) ✅Collisions are down (Market is already one of the most dangerous streets in SF) Cars won't bring back business, but they will slow down buses and make the street more dangerous 141
Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 29/11/2024Yep, definitely the pedestrians’ fault they keep dying. Nothing to be done here @sfstandard.com 010
Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 28/11/2024California AARP is actually quite pro-bike and pro-housing! They co-sponsored Scott Wiener’s SB 960 this year to require CalTrans to build complete streets and many pro-housing bills too. When the time is right, you can feel ok about supporting them 000
Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 28/11/2024I saw more drivers fail to yield to pedestrians in one day walking around LA than the entire past year in San Francisco. And the speeding is out of control. OTOH they’re building some new missing middle housing to replace the dingbats so that’s at least nice 💁♀️ 020
Robin Pam @robinpam.bsky.social · 28/11/2024It’s not bad but would be so much better if they just made it impossible to drive around to the right 010
