Toronto driver not sure where to park after city removes bike lanes

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Oakland, Alameda, and Piedmont folks - you can elect an AC Transit director who will fight to end AC Transit’s reliability crisis. Vote for @valencia4actransit.bsky.social and tell your friends and neighbors. Few folks pay attention to these races - they want to hear from you about who to support.

The Plot to Enslave America. Trump and Musk are the most powerful enemies of our free speech rights in our country's history

The Mississippi AG says police are justified for killing a baby because someone thought his mother shoplifted diapers that she paid for. The police have refused to release body cam footage. Fuck everything about this story.

Alameda has tons of old homes and it is a point of pride that we don’t indulge in Mills Act nonsense.

Another adjacent @jdcmedlock.bsky.social essential hit

$40k difference in payscale for the same job on opposite ends of the Peninsula.

This is the monster from Willow.

Huge YIMBY win at the CNN Talarico town hall tonight: asked about lowering housing costs, Talarico touts his work on single-stair reform! "Our outdated buildings didn't allow for single-stair housing, which is smaller apartments, smaller condos. It’s a great entry point for homeownership."

Pacific Surfliner living up to its name.

There are numerous elevators

Better than a coffee shop? Which is usually what they do around here. Grim.

Laboratories of democracy not always everything it’s cracked up to be.

Lololll

Good on Andy Beshear, seriously. This is good. But let’s not pretend he doesn’t need something besides being good for all time zones to get Democratic primary voters to get excited about. Gavin, conversely, needs to convince people he didn’t just emerge from the Folsom Street Fair.

Is your goal improving public transit? Legalize apartments. Is your goal fixing municipal budgets w/out raising taxes? Legalize apartments. Is your goal to have more arts & entertainment in your neighborhood? Legalize apartments. Is your goal to save democracy from fascists? Legalize apartments.

Love the California ballot system. Does it produce good law? No. Does it reduce the power of special interests? Think again. But is it better for outcomes? Shut the fuck up it’s time to talk dialysis.

Every so often Trump has an actually amusing, human seeming self deprecating riff and then resistance Sky is like: “We got him!”

Mixed use developers often only care about the residential to make money. The commercial component doesn’t help the pro forma, so they just build the minimum shell and let it rot unless some megacorp can figure it out. Market wants many small commercial units, builders don’t provide that.

Time to update

Not for the five stories of residents that now have to commute from Antioch.

The Bay Area Bluesky dogpile on this quintessential Berkeley hypocritical NIMBY demonstrates that this site has the juice.

I mean, many of the worst people at a city council meeting about bike lanes are self avowed avid cyclists.

As a Berkeley High graduate, I can say with authority that there is no more Berkeley of a person than a climate scientist who is anti bike lane and pro parking.

That face... it reminds me of something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KaS...

Silo is a spectacular show. I have watched all the bunker dramas (obviously) and it's the best by far. I like where the final season is headed...

Been rewatching Deadwood and it's amazing that 20 years ago, you could see things in scenes that took place at night. Would be cool to recover that lost technology for television shows.

If you don’t test, there will be no cases.

The median homebuyer age rose to 59 in 2025 from 39 in 2005. #EconSky

This is baseball bat material.

The building code should be written by bureaucrats and debated by politicians. Outsourcing this to a private trade group with parochial interests makes it harder to solve our biggest problems.

Why legalize enough housing construction to make the city broadly affordable when instead you can come up with bespoke BMR solutions for preferred classes of people and then require potential tenants to prove they belong to X preferred class www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Who could have guessed?

People visiting Silicon Valley: Where are all the futuristic skyscrapers?! Louise in Willow Glen: "they are building a second story in our neighborhood with no input!!"

Why would El Cerrito "give away" $3.6M of theoretical public benefits to a developer so they can build 248 units of housing? Say it with me. Because THE HOUSING IS THE PUBLIC BENEFIT.

New boundaries effective Dec. 4 (TBD this election) include ALL of Alameda.

Is that a lot? Seems like a lot?

For a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? A gift card with no remaining value

Don’t like it? Do it to your property and use the money to move to a good neighborhood.
