55mph sign but numerous lanes closed for years. #FriarsRoad & #Napa Can this be changed? One lane and unprotected bike lane where used to be like four lanes. #PureWater Lower speed sign needed. @CityofSanDiego @CMWhitburnD3

Try leaving your sofa🛋️ on the street and see what happens. Leave your private car🚗 there for weeks? Totally fine! Why is that? See @Davewalker's handy guide for what you can/cannot store in the street.

The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela. Let the Venezuelan people determine their future. We don't want other countries to choose our leaders--so we have to stop trying to choose theirs.

Housing and opportunity is important. #SanDiego the 8th largest city in #USA has a #watergate #nixon era 30' height limitation for building houses or schools or hospitals or anything based on a highway #redline miles from the coast. Good piece here:

Ebikes are a revolutionary development. "Approach this from a holistic, enabling perspective focusing on safe #Infrastructure rather than punitive restrictions that reduce mobility opportunities for residents of all ages.” #visionzero #safestreets #AB43

Cities spend up to two thirds of their budget on police and fire. Fire trucks often determine the design of city streets (yes, really) so more maneuverable, affordable, functional fire trucks are both good fiscal policy and better for public safety.
On ladder trucks: A Pierce (US) 100’ ladder is ~46’9” in length. A Rosenbauer (EU) 105’ turntable ladder is 33’9”. -13’ (28%) shorter -5’ MORE reach -articulates AROUND obstacles vs straight ladder -Cheaper -More nimble -Faster setup -Superior extraction for disabled or injured

This could be a wild take…. But give us Craig Stammen as a potential manager option for the Padres. Might be the only dude in the entire organization respected by everybody. Doubt it could be worse than this!!!!

San Diego's "I-5 Divide" is a Nixon-era redline dictated by a highway, not the coast. Grateful to @UTOpinion for the spotlight. It's time for a smarter, fairer city. Does this artificial border still serve us? #LetUsVote for #housing & #opportunity. https://t.co/wIiatn3aIh

The arbitrary “I-5 Divide” is holding the city back.
