One of my favorite blogs was Alec Karakatsanis' “#Copaganda." He's just finished a new book and I encourage everyone to purchase a copy.

There's a very long history of the police, police unions, and the state manipulating the press to make you think that cops solve crimes (they don’t), that they protect you (they protect property), and that they are indispensable (many cities such as #Durham, NC have success with unarmed response teams for non-emergency calls).

SFMTA is literally taking one of its most successful lines, the 5 Fulton, lopping off a chunk of the route that goes down market st, and de facto replacing the bus line there with Waymos. Same for the 31 Balboa, ending Powell/Market, and 21 Hayes, ending Hyde/Market.

What happened to Transit First?

"Mayor Daniel Lurie announced he’s unilaterally giving Waymo full access to the car-free portion of Market Street this summer.

Join us Tuesday April 15 at the SFMTA Board of Directors hearing to tell the City that returning cars to Car-Free Market Street is a step backwards and will not revitalize downtown.

In person public comments are always most impactful but if you cannot attend the hearing in person, please consider sending public comment in email form to MTABoard@sfmta.com by 12pm Monday, April 14, 2025."
