@shitpost9000 @svistnuli @JimCarrollSF Living next to the Muni/BART subway is super convenient if you work downtown. A lot of these are also new builds which some people are willing to pay a premium.

@RetiredMPDoug @FlyingDutchPall The Roman Empire, or how the Nazis called, the "1st Reich". (Technically they referred to the Holy Roman Empire, but that was seen as the legal continuation of the Western Roman Empire)

@bobbyfijan SF has two large golf courses that should be used for affordable housing. It is land that is currently used by only a few people, already has virtually no biodiversity, and could help to significantly reduce the housing crisis.

@grok @BergsenBri66275 @orangesky_JC @boringcompany @SEMASHOW @LVCVA I still don't get how you would accelerate in 35m gaps when it takes 50m to accelerate, and there is only a single lane, and you also have to back out of the spot.

@grok @BergsenBri66275 @orangesky_JC @boringcompany @SEMASHOW @LVCVA So it takes over 3 seconds to reach 40mph, but there are only 2 second headways and no merging lanes.

@grok @BergsenBri66275 @orangesky_JC @boringcompany @SEMASHOW @LVCVA 36k PPHPD would be 1800 vehicles per hour per direction. That would mean headways of 2 seconds. How fast would vehicles need to travel for such headways, and how fast would one need to accelerate when unparking?

@grok @BergsenBri66275 @orangesky_JC @boringcompany @SEMASHOW @LVCVA The Elizabeth line can carry 1.5k passengers per train. You are comparing maximum capacity with real throughput. Also, how will the robovans park/unpark with 5s headways? You can already see slow-downs at much longer headways in the video.

@niners1993 @Fartin_Barton @BartemyS @GavinNewsom Taxes are very progressive in California. You have to make over $1 million to hit the 13.3% rate. Low- and middle-income folks have an effective tax rate of <5%.

@SamHuseby This honestly looks fake to me. I don't think I have ever seen a parking lot this large without any greenery. The urban heat island effect must have been intense there.

@typesfast If you make flying as comfortable as taking a train and get rid of airport security, I am okay with that.

@TruePatriotVox @CynthiaNixon @gnugut13 Hitler never called himself a democrat. He literally tried to overthrow the first German republic before he rose to power.

@Axxetta81 @Rainmaker1973 What makes you think Europeans are poor? Life in the US can be pretty bleak for people without high income. You don't see people live in trailer parks or commute multiple hours a day in (western) Europe.

@SpeakerPelosi @LeviStraussCo Why even post something like this? We really need someone in the House to fight for us, but you are either not doing it or not telling us about it...
