@k_thos Hey, this looks great. Unfortunately I’ll be on my way to SF for my teaching gig. Is there another way to fine out about events like this that does not require being active on this particular website, which I’m very much looking to avoid?

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

I’m embracing the BS. Not really planning on being here anymore

@CohenSite Shoulda been done for the Olympic village

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

@CohenSite @Steven_J_Lucia Also, in the above scenario, it was all coordinated from the start and Steven is talking about getting the trades to understand how to efficiently implement the design

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

@CohenSite @Steven_J_Lucia Architects are collaborative by nature. We’d love to hear useful input earlier in the process, but unless you are trying to do something radically new (3D printing [don’t]) there are not a lot of unknown unknowns for us to be blindsided by

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

@CohenSite You invented “Design/Build” but really the GC & structural don’t know how to contribute much at the beginning of the design process. You’d be better off with a team of architects that each have their own specializations, which is why things are done the way they are

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

@alanthefisher @holz_bau It’s not the existence of shared spaces he’s upset about, it’s how terrible they are. As emergency housing I could see this, but it gotta say, I think we owe even the most desperate just a bit more dignity. Btw, there does not appear to be a janitorial closet in this plan

@joshtpm Isn't this likely connected to TFGs deregulation of food safety? The same deregulation responsible for the listeria outbreak?

[BART @SFBART]

UC Berkeley’s Environmental Design Library has a very cool exhibition up right now until the end of the month about the early history of BART.

Along the Line: Designing and Planning BART, 1963–1976 showcases drawings, photos, models, documents, and more.

@numble Oh well.

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

@elisabethnicula @mcmansionhell You mean YIMBYs like Aaron Peskin, who literally did this?

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

@grandpabento @riley_gdr It could. They also need a better safety inspection regime and more consequences for oopsies

[Randolph Ruiz @AAAArch]

I request a lot of community notes on misinformation (lies) on here. It does not seem to work

[Californians for Electric Rail @calelectricrail]

AVL improvements have a $50 million shortfall, meanwhile Metro wants to spend >$200 million widening highway 14 in the same region. And still no commitment to electrification despite frequent service and future HSR on the same corridor. Where's the leadership?

[Esotouric's Secret Los Angeles @esotouric]

Whoa! Proposed expansion of Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. of America Historic District in Tomales Bay to recognize the cultural contributions of ultraviolent cult Synanon--including the prefab modernist Caves complex.

Funny. But no. You can only say this if you don’t think someone will be knocking on your door in the middle of the night

[Django Gold @django]

for anyone anxious about the election, take a deep breath and remember that, whoever wins, American life will continue to get worse in small, virtually undetectable ways that leave you feeling slightly dislocated at all times
