Council sneaks in vote on 30th Street bike lanes at last minute
SDC Bicycling Coalition Exec Dir Andy Hanshaw called in supporting comments. BikeSD too. They are very much involved. I agree it takes more than paint to make a street safe!— November 29, 2020 6:08 p.m.

Seen these weird lights on the Coronado bridge?
Boy it took a long time to get this underway. I wrote about it four years ago. https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2016/oct/20/s…— November 16, 2020 9 p.m.
Toronto real estate giant is funder behind killing height limit
Great sleuthing, Matt! This is information that should have been reported long ago by the media cheerleaders in favor this massive land grab. It puzzles me to no end why the city hands the task of redeveloping entire chunks of land over to for-profit developers while bemoaning the cost of housing.— October 30, 2020 1:23 p.m.
During pandemic San Diego bicyclists push street closures
For me, one of the most telling things about this plan is the places that everyone, including CirculateSD and the mayor, apparently didn't consider: Downtown, with a high population of residents in apartments and condos, where streets are currently under-utilized and the infrastructure can support a plan like this; Southeastern San Diego; San Ysidro - with its very high amount of transit priority area and very active cycling group, Nestor and Encanto; Clairemont and Linda Vista; La Jolla and everything else north of the 8. People I talked with in those planning groups first heard about this when the mayor announced it last week. Asked how the designated areas were selected, the mayor's office responded: "The locations were determined based on community requests/input."— May 5, 2020 11:17 a.m.

Lorena Gonzalez law damages local workers
Passionately Moderate, you're so right that some people say mean shitty things when they can hide their identities so noone can hold them accountable. These folks rightly fear Ms. Gonzalez's legendary vindictiveness and the state's ability and clearly stated mission to strip them of their income. What about you?— March 6, 2020 10:19 a.m.
Behind T.J's black market for cars
Hey Mike! Thanks for explaining why my Honda EP3 disappeared from the Otay auto yard after a crash last year. It was so weird - the insurance adjustor way lowballed the value and while I fought the insurance company I decided to buy it back and have it fixed - I thought we all agreed and I paid. But when I went to get it at the wrecker, they told me they sold it to the adjustor and he had it taken to Mexico. The adjustor denied it and the insurance company stood by him. It had the 2.0 high-horse engine in it, same as the Del Sol. A great little beast, like a motorcycle with doors. Hard to find.— March 5, 2020 4:47 p.m.
Lorena Gonzalez law damages local workers
The irony here is that Uber, Lyft, Postmates and the big app-based companies have the resources to lobby and sue to get exemptions from the law - and they are doing just that. Meanwhile, the many others in the 'gig economy' are simply losing clients. Thomason estimates that the targeted industries employ less than a percent of the workforce: "While on-demand platform jobs (such as Uber and TaskRabbit) have received the lion’s share of attention in the public debate about gig work, they constitute a very small share of the workforce overall (about 0.5 percent) and of independent contractors as well – an important empirical point for the policy debate going forward." http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/what-do-we-know-a…— February 20, 2020 12:51 p.m.
