We’ve got a great fall lineup for book interviews! Looking forward to chatting about these amazing looking books. I’m also always impressed when someone can write a book. It seems like such a huge endeavor.

Books include The Cabin Wave, Transportation and the Shape of Cities, Building Charm and Build or Die

I use a wagon. Used to walk but my hands hurt from the heavy bags. Now I can get anything like big pumpkins and other heavier items.

Super interesting findings in this one. Makes me wonder if we didn't have a whole culture war ecosystem what else people would agree on...

Hey transit agencies! Let’s stop wrapping parts of the bus that don’t need to be just to keep a consistent color block. It’s silly and I hate riding in window wrapped buses.

She also said curb lanes are better than center running for bus priority.

Wiener said Chan’s opposition to a rapid bus line on Geary Boulevard has slowed transit in her district. Chan said she supported a transit-only lane on the side of the street, but not the rapid line that would have run down the center of the street on an elevated platform, as on Van Ness Avenue.
