- Just to make clear what's happening in cities across the US like San Mateo -- Drivers are so addicted to subsidies they'll create political pressure on city governments to bankrupt themselves by *tearing out infrastructure that gives residents more transportation choices.* No way to govern, indeed
- Maddening and clearly to appease folks who want to rip out the bike lane to add parking. As San Mateo’s city manager reminded the council earlier in the meeting, the city is in a deficit and drawing down reserves every year. No way they’re going to have $10M for this. This is terrible governance.
- We need to make pols personally liable for this kind of shit. An expecting mother and her child were just killed on a street Eric Garcetti ripped the safety improvements from. He should be charged with manslaughter.
