One of the most shocking things from this WSJ video on the California high-speed rail is the decision to move the stations *four to five miles* from city center to cut costs. Dropping you off downtown is the biggest perk of the train! https://t.co/TtliVTKDYf

On one hand, awesome! Downtown getting more business!
On the other, the bar is so low for @sfgov that opening a burger restaurant is treated like a major civil engineering achievement.
Mayor @DanielLurie & Supervisor @DannySauter joined other city leaders & burger lovers for yesterday’s ribbon cutting, where guests sampled signature fare from the SF-born burger chain.
The homeless are declining services over and over and it can not continue. At some point, society as a whole will need to make tough decisions. This will destroy our cities if we don't. @weheartseattle@kevinvdahlgren
For the first time in our history, San Francisco will have citywide ethics rules that strengthen accountability for the $6 billion in taxpayer money we spend each year on contracts with outside organizations.
San Francisco spends billions of taxpayer dollars every year on contracts that support our city operations, and San Franciscans deserve to know that every one of those dollars is being spent wisely and in the public interest. But today, our ethics requirements are scattered across different sections of city law, and the rules can vary—leaving room for corruption and abuse.
This is what voters set out to change with Proposition E, and now we’re taking the first step toward centralizing and depoliticizing contracting so it serves San Franciscans, not insiders.

Incredible stuff.
A Maryland mall closed down over 20 years ago and the lot has been sitting vacant since. A developer planned to invest $5 billion in a data center.
Instead, a China-tied group worked with a local activist to block the development.
