"Our findings confirm that contemporary cities, particularly population-dense and expansive ones, are indeed divisive forces—acting as centers for income and wealth generation but failing to deliver equal opportunities for economic mobility"


End of year hot take: Cancel all new train funding! We have cars that drive themselves. You can call a robot car in several cities across America- this isn’t science fiction anymore! Trains just don’t make sense in a world of autonomous vehicles

For 20% of SF's public transit budget you could buy and run a fleet of 15,000 Waymos and let everyone ride for free. Thats enough to cover the entire ridership of SF's public bus system with much better service. Assumptions: -Conservative 12 year average life of the Waymo with zero value recouped at the end - $120k purchase price per Waymo -$8k/year/waymo in operating costs -Finance purchase with 12 year loan at SF municipal bond rate of 4.85% -$0 in fares!
