Another thing NIMBYs have in common with the far right is they are very good at co-opting progressive language and concepts.

A cool thing about NIMBYs is that if you let them talk long enough they eventually say or do something that gives mayors all the permission they need not to listen to them.

Closing the 4th St bridge to cars and opening it to trams and people would make this deadly intersection safer and make transit more reliable. Let's do it. See this vision in action in this illustration from our blog post on the topic www.safestreetrebel.com/blog/communi...

Infrastructure always beats more cops, but not everybody has gotten the message. We're headed to the community meeting they've chosen to hold at the police station (🤦🏾‍♀️) to drive the point home. Apr. 9, 1251 3rd St be there.

DIRECT ACTION GETS THE GOODS: Turns out there WAS room for more safety improvements at 4th and Channel St, as the community-installed curb extension has been officially replaced with a separated bike lane. This is a start, but we need MORE here and across the city.

Thanks, Mayor Lurie. sfstandard.com/newsletters/...
An article screenshot that reads:

Video from Dec. 11, obtained by Power Play, shows Lurie’s Rivian colliding with an F-Market & Wharves streetcar heading southbound on Market Street. The $134,000 electric vehicle (bought and donated to the city by Lurie himself) stops abruptly at the intersection of Octavia Boulevard while turning on its police lights, attempting to make a U-turn at a prohibited left-turn intersection. The streetcar does not have time to stop and collides with the Rivian, pushing it a couple of feet to the left of the road

This action shows that improvements can be made quickly, outside of multimillion dollar reconstruction projects and a mayor who’s afraid to change an unsustainable status quo. The city has done nothing significant to improve street safety in the vast majority of the 141 traffic deaths since 2022.

Safe Street Rebel @safestreetrebel.com · 17/03/2026
We installed a curb extension using the same temporary materials the city uses on the southwest corner, immediately next to where the child was killed and her mother injured by the driver. This shortens crossing distances for people walking and slows turning traffic towards the adjacent crosswalk.

Safe Street Rebel @safestreetrebel.com · 17/03/2026
We’re back. Two weeks ago, a driver killed a 2 year-old child at 4th and Channel—the third pedestrian fatality of 2026. Since then, all SFMTA has done was repaint the existing crosswalks for a photo op. So the community took matters into our own hands.

One of the many ways one can be anti fascist is to be pro public transit, to fight for communities where people can walk and bike safely, and to oppose the onslaught of cars in our cities. cars bring isolation and harm, streets for the people build community and let us resist.

That's not what happened here, though — Engardio's best districts in 2025 were Mar districts in 2022. his best districts in 2022, the most conservative ones, voted to recall him this time around. Mar districts were most likely to vote Yes on K. what different conclusion can we draw here?

Safe Street Rebel @safestreetrebel.com · 17/09/2025
-Initial data indicates the recall —despite getting some prog engagement—was driven by conservative voters who refuse to acknowledge we live in a city and deny our climate emergency. -More D4 voters voted yes on prop K than yes on recall. This vote was not a referendum on the park. 3/3

Safe Street Rebel @safestreetrebel.com · 17/09/2025
The recall shows a few things: -Reactionary politics is inherently unsustainable; the recall-loving, pro-car base that engardio relied on to win in 2022 immediately turned on him the minute he did the only visionary act of his career. 2/3
