The RV parking ban in the Portola got some news coverage this week. But let's take a closer look at the disgusting rhetoric around vehicular homelessness, from neighbors and politicians alike.

When an environmental law is routinely used to impede things like affordable infill housing, bus lanes, and bike lanes, and public transit projects, it's time to rethink it entirely.

San Francisco was not allowed to add any new bike lanes for YEARS in the late 2000s because they hadn't sufficiently proved that PAINTING BIKE LANES on city streets is not harmful to the environment

This was
@Scott_Wiener's SB288, and it was much more of a fight than it should have been given how modest and common-sense of a reform it was. The bill also extended the exemption for bike plans, after SF's bike plan got held up in court for four yearsShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Back in transit land, last year transit advocates won an exemption from CEQA for converting existing roadway lanes to bus-only lanes or bike paths (clearly and unambiguously good for the environment!)... but only after watering down what it applies to, and only until 2023

With this baseline rule, CEQA is rigged to let highway expansions off the hook, and Caltrans is incentivized to build just enough new highways to cancel out the gains from other policies that reduce emissions from driving

Using present day emissions as the baseline rather than a "future without the project" counterfactual means that projected reductions in admissions from more fuel efficient & electric cars "cancel out" the increased emissions from the highway, so there's "no environmental impact"

Meanwhile, a project to widen Highway 1 near Santa Cruz openly admits in its environmental review document that it'll cause more driving, but they get to compare *future* emissions with the project to *current* emissions without the project.

The project to build a second train tunnel between San Francisco and Oakland says they're budgeting $1 billion just for environmental review. ONE BILLION DOLLARS, to prove that adding capacity to the most crowded train line in California is good for the environment

In California, under CEQA, transit projects have to painstakingly prove they won't harm the environment, but highway projects get to claim that future improvements in fuel economy and electric cars will offset the emissions from increased driving caused by the new highwayhttps://twitter.com/BethOsborneT4A/status/1427288853937856514 …

A thing you can do today in California for democracy is to send in your ballot against the recall of Governor Newsom by voting no on Question 1. Whatever you do about Question 2 -- and Ventresca is at least not fanatical or silly -- please vote no on Question 1.

Boy howdy am I having a lot of feelings about Afghanistan today I deployed there twice--once in 2008 and once in 2009-10 It was already obvious that the Taliban would sweep through the very instant we left And here we are today

Recalling Governor Newsom means electing a Ron DeSantis kind of Governor — with elimination of mask & vaccine mandates. No thanks. We don’t need the COVID death cult governing California. No on the Republican power grab recall.https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Newsom-recall-rival-Larry-Elder-denounces-16386041.php?sid=5452d8933b35d010308e8df2&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headlines&utm_campaign=sfc_morningfix …

Sitting in one of the newly-pedestrianized plazas in Meatpacking and no joke the past 4 groups who walked by were talking about how nice it is now. Begging electeds to understand that a car-free city isn’t something most people know to ask for, but they love it after it’s donepic.twitter.com/CI2BRmbG6q

You can have all the tenant & rent control protections securely in place but that won't matter if the demand for housing outpaces the supply of housing available. We need all three and to dismiss the building of new homes is a serious error to make.

Claim: Deinstitutionalization caused our homelessness crisis, not a broken housing system Reality: Bull shit! Most patients were discharged from hospitals in the 1950s/1960s but widespread homelessness didn’t occur until the ’80s when housing affordability began to erode rapidly

I’ve been a vocal critic of Gavin Newsom, but I am voting HELL NO on the upcoming recall. This is a recall led by Republicans. There’s a real chance this recall could go through, and if it does, we’ll end up with someone much, much worse. Please be sure to vote!https://twitter.com/theleaguesf/status/1426199420563976199 …

Work-from-home is, at best, a *congestion* mitigation policy. Commute trips make up only 15-20% of all trips, but we notice them because they take place at the same time in the same place. As a GHG reduction policy, it's lacking. Short

One of the Supervisors responsible for personally destroying the 2nd most popular park in SF wants to talk about parks now (Supervisor Chan is so concerned with holding city government accountable that she disabled replies on this tweet, lest anyone ask her to be accountable)https://twitter.com/conniechansf/status/1425948982509924352 …

Larry Elder called global warming a "crock." He said Roe v. Wade was one of the "worst decisions." He believes minimum wage should be $0, opposes family leave, rejected concept of gender discrimination, supported Trump. He could be Governor, if we don't vote NO on the recall.
