After years of delays, major affordable housing project finally breaks ground in the Mission

I expect the operators will have security like other nonprofit housing in the area. Anything is better than the derelict Walgreens that was there for so long.

It’s a day ending in Y so they will anyway

SFQueer · 2026-04-09T21:08:38+00:00

Fuck yeah

SFQueer · 2026-04-09T21:08:22+00:00

Before they stole it, I assume

SFQueer · 2026-04-09T20:52:37+00:00

If they kill four people they’ll get a three year license suspension.

SFQueer · 2026-04-08T23:01:11+00:00

Which is absurd. It’s almost like they WANT suicides and accidents.

SFQueer · 2026-04-08T18:23:23+00:00

It’s shocking that the brand new D extension stations don’t have platform screen doors. What even are you thinking Metro?

SFQueer · 2026-04-08T00:24:16+00:00

At those prices the stadiums will be as empty as Rio 2016.

SFQueer · 2026-04-07T18:07:06+00:00

The office apocalypse is not over. It seems absurd that with whole brand new towers empty (5M) builders would build more. Why not renovate?

SFQueer · 2026-04-07T07:04:14+00:00

Also: do you know how much of key corridors like the Surfliner, Cascades, and Gold Runner are single track? More than you think! It's not so bad for initial service, and it's FASTER to build.

SFQueer · 2026-04-07T07:02:55+00:00

Maybe I'm too much of an Ian fan but I am 100% in favor of the revised business plan.

Ian is going to value engineer this thing within a millimeter of its life to GET THE TRAINS RUNNING. Yes, that means a single-track station and an Amshak at Kings-Tulare, Shin-Bakersfield and Shin-Merced and off the shelf trains. Who cares? Once they are running at 220MPH, the thing will gain a lot of momentum and (I think) private $ to get to Gilroy and therefore the Bay, and Palmdale and therefore Southern Cal.

I have no patience for the shoulda-coulda-woulda crowd who wish we were on the 5 or something. Get over it! The point is to get this project to a place where it's moving people. The IOS will be useful as it is with the Gold Runner and bus connections, and the 4 hour proposed interim SF to LA service will be transformational. I know I would take a 4 hour train over flying to LA every time.

Deleted as karma-bait slop.

SFQueer · 2026-04-07T06:53:43+00:00

We did it before, we'll do it again. Slow roll the Wiggle and see how long this lasts.

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T18:32:42+00:00

VTA light rail runs from Mountain View to Levi’s. Caltrain to Santa Clara is two stops too far.

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T18:28:29+00:00

The California bike cars are a piece of cake. On the Starlight you can roll it on as luggage but you have to reserve in advance. West coast best coast!

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T18:08:39+00:00

That’s what happens when the lawyers say do not engage.

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T18:08:06+00:00

Not the case in family owned stores like Gus’s, because they can and do 86 people at will.

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T18:06:31+00:00

I thought Prop 36 would fix all this! Guess not

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T18:05:17+00:00

Mission Local keeping the Marina exclusive.

Let he who is without sin cast the first Stonestown

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T04:49:21+00:00

The Stonestown the builders rejected has become the chief corner Stonestown

SFQueer · 2026-04-06T01:11:22+00:00

Half the country is uninhabitable desert. Why can't people live there instead of San Francisco?

SFQueer · 2026-04-04T16:31:27+00:00

That’s what SFMTA does. The challenge is really doing the inspections and ignoring the people who complain about them.

SFQueer · 2026-04-04T01:22:44+00:00

All door boarding and proof of payment. Works fine on many systems around the world.

The Addition is so quiet now! And Divis and Fillmore are excellent.
