Shout-out to my https://t.co/AKQwFplSkH photo set, currently making one of its periodic trips around the internet! #sidewalktypo #concretebungle

My latest: California likes to think of itself as a cutting-edge lab for policy making, but as pedestrian deaths soar, it lags behind communities around the country that allow a tool to slow drivers: the humble speed camera.

Finally, that could change.

PSA: Line at @aboutKP SF vaccine clinic is LONG! Folks (like me) may have come today because of worries about pending strike Wednesday-Friday? It is moving, at least

This is fantastic stuff! Already tabbed a bunch of things to do with our 3.5-year-old

Just dropped my son off at college. Devastating. 👨‍🎓😭

Processed my feelings the only way I know how:

Wrote a guide of things to do with your kids in the Bay Area -- from a secret amusement park to the perfect place for holiday photos.

I wrote a story about how a Montgomery County Maryland has for decades been building public housing under another name. It's a clever use of public money and beats private equity at their own game. Read on: https://t.co/jKiinO8ymY

Thank you to @MLNow and @miss_elenius for this lovely tribute to David Inocencio, of The Beat Within! https://t.co/9k0LWg4rd1

We need to turn so much in the built environment today into something else: offices into homes, homes into offices, hotels into SROs, office parks into real neighborhoods, curb parking into transit lanes.

But we have developed a conversion problem: https://t.co/HUOe0c2rPE

Update: the train came on the usual SB platform, and the conductor said “this happens all the time” 😠

@Caltrain @CaltrainAlerts Monday at 6:28am- 22nd Street southbound platforms say it’s closed and all trains board on northbound side- accurate? No other signs/tweets to that effect

[Thomas Rogers @throgers]

@djbaskin OMG, this is exactly the same intersection @MLNow happened to show in an article about how confusing/dangerous the center-running bike lanes are https://t.co/ORcOaAAEnN

[Thomas Rogers @throgers]

Was bound to happen sooner or later!

Amen, @anniefryman: “One of the most irresponsible things that you can do during a budget deficit like this is arbitrarily make decisions that disqualify your state from getting free money from elsewhere” @fmanjoo https://t.co/at5IvxAycV

@SheaSerrano I was going to suggest you do a “Which ‘Primo’ Uncle Are You?” Buzzfeed-style quiz for a promo, but:
A) I don’t think you need it
B) I already know the answer I’d get
😆

[Thomas Rogers @throgers]

PSA: @SheaSerrano’s “Primo” on Freevee is funny and cute as hell! Check it out so that Jeff Amazon greenlights Season 2 already https://t.co/0XZRnbwCBW

“Of the 1.2 million tickets the SFMTA writes every year, 92% are issued for behavior that doesn’t affect public safety, including staying too long at meters and not moving for street cleaning trucks.” @hknightsf @braitsch https://t.co/ZhAxu84Z3p

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

San Francisco’s decision to extend metered parking hours to weekday evenings and Sundays is the city’s most significant enforcement change since the 1950s.
