I wrote an op-ed (my first!) about the mystery of San Mateo’s disappearing parklets. smdailyjournal.com/opinion/guest_…

@Noahpinion Have you been to Garaje?

I'm on a quest to find every good restaurant in San Francisco. Give me your top 3 to 5 recommendations! Anything is good, from lunch cafes and bakeries to fine dining. No East Bay, no Peninsula...just San Francisco!!

@cafedujord This was actually uplifting to read! I appreciate your threads, as always.

That's personally all the NIMBY nonsense I can take for one morning, folks. I'm signing off for today. As always, thanks for reading, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Happy Saturday, folks! As usual, I'm spending my morning attending bringing you primo entertainment by attending a meeting of statewide NIMBY group Livable California. Today's discussion features a recap of the recent legislative session. Grab some 🍿,🧵 starts here!

@steve_markham Why do you need so many? You only need 1 or 2 to win a game.

ANOTHER TOUCHDOWN. HOLY CRAP

@ACMelendrez @yimbyaction Best of luck on whatever comes next!!

Steelers: Touchdowns are for losers.

So, we were forced to take a train that left 25 minutes later, and it had to go very slowly because its headlights weren’t working. Amazing.

Hey @Caltrain what happened to the 140 train out of SF?! There’s a big crowd of people waiting and we were never let on. It appears the train was just aborted with no explanation. Unprofessional.

@steve_markham Oh dang, I just saw that replay. Terrible call!

@newtang Should’ve been*

Let’s try to reclaim some dignity today shall we? #Mets

@steve_markham 👍

@Caltrain It’s fixed! Thank you!

@newtang thank you for the heads up!

. @Caltrain @CubicCorp @BayAreaClipper This Clipper reader on the southbound side at San Mateo station has been down for over a week. Can we get it fixed? It’s next to the ticket machine.

@steve_markham Darrrrrryll
