Alfred Twu's Northern California combined zoning map shows how easy it would be (geographically) for the Bay Area to be super well served by mass transit. https://sites.google.com/view/alfredtwu/infographics/norcal-zoning-summary
All the built-up areas are linear, rarely more than five miles wide. That makes biking and buses plenty adequate for cross-axis travel.
Frequent, grade-separated rail along each corridor (widely-spaced stops). Bike lockers, bikeshare at each station. Buses in medium/high density areas. Boom, done. We don't need cars.
People in LA Took it upon themselves to paint crosswalks at dangerous intersections around schools and parks
Then the other day the city brought heavy equipment to grind them out to remove the paint
Can anyone help me understand how people see this shit happen and don’t become anarchists
Also I think only grandmas should be allowed to operate any sort of heavy equipment from here on out

fucking legends

I definitely do not have the bike for this trail and am wondering if I'm in the correct place
Everyone has been very nice about me wearing a mask and eating outside, but in a slightly weird way, like they don't usually encounter people with respiratory systems and they're very self-conscious about making sure that lung-havers are comfortable
I'm glad I didn't travel farther afield
It's a beautiful evening, just the perfect temperature, and somehow I am the only one making use of the outside dining option here
Working towards a better, post-car future where the planet is still habitable. A big fan of #transit especially the #bus, and #bike infrastructure that doesn't require that you be athletic or fearless to use. I believe that community is what keeps us safe. #queer, mixed race
