@gldivittorio Holy shit

There's a greater possibility that he's just racist as hell but there is a funnier possibility that this guy heard something about geese disappearing because of migration and didn't realize that meant the birds were traveling

@Alphafox78 No PPE? Probably

Is this even legal? 😮

@CompletedStreet Walking in a parking lot is always an odd conflict. The premise of the parking lot is that we will all become pedestrians yet some drive so poorly

Notice it once and you'll notice it everywhere.

@SFBART @leehaber @sendejasr @bryanculbertson @marcus_ismael Let’s go! Housing then commercial spaces like coffee shops will make stations so … normal. Looking forward to it

@leehaber @sendejasr @bryanculbertson @WalkableOakland @marcus_ismael We have a robust program to build housing on our parking lots.

The idea that BART is inefficient is a complete myth. BART is the most efficient heavy rail transit system in the nation. Operating expense/mile: BART: $8.55 CTA: $9.31 MARTA: $12.45 MBTA: $15.02 NY MTA: $15.82 WMATA: $23.00 LA MTA: $28.73

@SFBART @sendejasr @bryanculbertson @marcus_ismael On board to fix the funding and get more on board

@sendejasr @bryanculbertson @WalkableOakland @marcus_ismael Our fares are high because we have a high fare box recovery with little subsidies. Other transit gets more funding sources outside of passenger fares, we do not. For many years that was the gold standard, now with remote work, this funding model is outdated.

@bryanculbertson @marcus_ismael When you take BART, forget what you paid, and time it right it’s such a great experience.

@marcus_ismael BART has too high fares and too low frequency, those are funding issues. Its operating costs are the best in the nation, so we should double down on investing in BART and stop trying to squeeze lower operating costs out of it somehow

@JoseBeenTV @benatkins_uk Happened in Tour of California back when too

@prinzrob @IDoTheThinking Interesting. I think that context was missing or I missed that. An real cost does seem fair Still it’s expensive

@WalkableOakland @IDoTheThinking Yes & it still is, b/c the alternative would have been a money pit subsidized by other BART riders. Once people acknowledged it was a boondoggle it was too late to stop construction, so the most responsible thing to do was at least price the fare appropriately.

@KQEDForum @latimes @dillonliam @KQED @e_baldi @CACommBuilders @AdamBriones510 Curious why new construction in The Bay never seems to be condos. Great point that this housing form is lowest cost

🎙️ ON AIR: We're speaking w/ @latimes' @dillonliam, @KQED's @e_baldi & @CACommBuilders' @AdamBriones510 about the state of homeownership here in California. ❓ Are you weighing renting versus buying in California? 📻Listen: kqed.org/forum/20101019…

@marvinsinclai11 @TahoeWeather Great example where host can be expected to be travel agent or just brain

For anyone traveling up to Tahoe for the weekend or already here, there are NO travel windows on Sunday. Heavy snow after midnight Saturday through Monday. Plan to stay until Tuesday if you want safe travel, and I'd expect 80 to possibly close at times on Sunday. 2-3" per hour!

@nat_orenstein @Oaklandside It’s quite an oddity … there are just so few 3 BR options. Some 3 and 4 br units in the new builds would be attractive

It turns out that close to 90% of rental housing in Oakland has two bedrooms or fewer. We looked at what that means for families trying to live and stay in Oakland, and why more three-bedrooms don't get built. oaklandside.org/2024/02/01/oak…

@MindFreeze @curious_founder

@curious_founder So much cope in the replies. People will sit in denial on the side of the road and still complain that EVs hurt them somehow.

A roadside assistance company in Norway released data on 33,000 car failures this winter. They found gas cars were twice as likely to fail as electric vehicles. What's that about EVs not being reliable in the cold?

@Bossmustangfan @purplesuit @curious_founder Would be Autosone in Norway

@purplesuit @curious_founder Inability to start an EV means the battery is dead, right? That’s a huge issue requiring a trip to the dealer and a major effort to get the car going. A dead battery in an ICE takes an hour to change after a run to Autozone and costs $100. motortrend.com/reviews/2022-r…

@jake_gotta Wait until the analysis on straws

@Oaklandside There was a lot of issue with the Dollar Store moving in after Radio Shack left. Interesting mix of stores for sure … odd parking with often fast traffic and a strong neighborhood

@Riddle_Lincoln Hooks!!!

Love that the summit lodge at Gore is built around the old top gondola terminal

@IDoTheThinking Lincoln and Hearst - Middle school stop and 39 bus. maps.app.goo.gl/MQf4zy6saPvuif…

Say it again. Leave earlier.

@marvinsinclai11 @pitsenberger Did World Cup at Cal base used to open up? Always seemed ready with lights

Donner Ski Ranch and night skiing, c. 1960s. It looks like Norm Sayler, owner of the ski ranch, is sitting at the left. I don't know the name of the lady on the right. Donner Ski Ranch was always looking for ways to attract more people to the slopes, and night skiing was one of them. I don't know if Donner was the first place to offer night skiing.
