This is one of those rare times I am going to tell you that both the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties are totally right and you should follow their advice: Vote NO on Prop 43. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Bay Area officials are sounding the alarm over a lesser-known California ballot measure
Several Bay Area leaders have slammed Proposition 43 as a threat to critical financial lifelines for cities and counties.

Your periodic reminder that my 1991 SF studio was an unaffordable $400 a month -- $984 in today's dollars. Legalize new housing.

I love this so much. Also: not terribly long ago I learned that a bunch of those are pay-to-play

I did not expect this take. I like this take! If an economic reason is what gets our society to build separated bike lanes on commercial streets, may a million doordash drivers spawn

Must-read. @idothethinking.bsky.social notes: the @eastbaytimes.com take is absolutely dreadful. Imagine if everyone who is _not_ a captive audience (i.e. those too poor, too disabled, or too outside the law to drive) were driving over the Bay Bridge at peak times? A traffic and climate nightmare.

It's wild to me that it's nearly a million bucks a year to move sand around for there to be a road there. There just shouldn't be a road there!

What does surprise me is that anyone cares what she thinks. On the BART Board she tried again and again to destroy BART. She supported slashing service, was against demand based parking pricing, and opposed transit oriented development. Not someone anyone should listen to about transit policy.

This level of flooding is somewhat normal during king tides, not for mid October. A poorly timed storm this winter will cause a lot of damage, and the @eastbaytimes.com is recommending a no vote on the climate measure (RTM). I'm losing my mind at how much people have their heads in the sand.

In March of 2025, I filed a legal complaint against AC Transit with the Superior Court of Alameda County, for the agency's repeated violations of the Ralph M. Brown Act, California's public meeting transparency law. Here's my blog post on @medium.com, with links to pdfs: medium.com/@valenciafor...

Post-fatality street redesign is one of the worst things. Why does there have to be blood on the ground before cities actually _do_ something to make streets safer? unfortunately, this is a genre: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ma0X...

What Ren said! What will help us win this race is getting the word out to all the people who already align with pro-transit-rider policies but don't know they need to select Adriana in a down ballot race. Volunteering here can really affect the future of transit in the East Bay.

I’m so glad we have a candidate for AC Transit Board as thoughtful as @valencia4actransit.bsky.social. She’s a true fighter and will make sure our buses actually show up (unlike the incumbent, who doesn’t even show up to meetings). She needs your help to win! LMK if you’d be down to drop lit
