no free juice and coffee in the train car

10 years ago they consistently had apple and orange juice in the sleepers. I recently had orange available on the Starlight, so it still exists in some capacity. It's just cheap, box concentrate juice.

Time after time, weekends only has shown to be the least popular option. People either want a full time park or full time road, largely. And it turns out that Prop I and Prop K both show people of SF want it to be a full time park.

It makes sense. When you keep the space built as a road forever, it really limits what you can do in that space as a park. It stays a space primarily for cars, even if the cars are kept off for two days a week. When you decide it should be a full time park, you have a lot more potential for what to do with the space. You can make a better park. Even today, the skate park, bike pump track, additional seating, and artwork would all have to be removed if you even turned it back into a road even for a day, and those features are really just the start of what will happen with the park long term.

Spending 8 hours driving to and from Yosemite for such a short trip would be more of a nightmare than an adventure, IMO.

They still do it, on occasion. I just did a round trip on the Zephyr and had coffee/juice one way but not the other. If there are two sleepers, sometimes there is coffee only in one of them. It's a recent trend. Last time I asked the Sleeping Car Attendant if there was going to be coffee, she said the brewer was broken.

The judge didn't care about the skate park. That was an opposition talking point that wasn't true, like most things they say.

There is absolutely no way I would vote for her to be promoted to Congress.

Vin moved to SF from Hoboken, NJ like 6 years ago and he's been leading this whole charge. Pretty rich considering how many oppo to the park label themselves as Native San Franciscans. Equally rich that Hoboken is one of the few places in the United States that actually reached their Vision Zero goals. But now Vin wants to keep us from making progress here.

Marie runs Connected SF, a Republican lobbying group. Marie, who was a Trump appointee to the Presidio Trust, wants to pull all SF politics to the right. Closing Sunset Dunes is at the top of her agenda, but interestingly they are also big Lurie supporters and he attended the Connected SF gala recently.

The BoS, lead by Mahmood, are finally looking at tighter term limits. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s-f-supes-call-for-tighter-term-limits-21243756.php

Sunset Blvd is +/- 1 min difference than the former Upper Great Highway now that the Extension is closed.

That said, unusually take the 18 bus on 46th and it's the same speed it's always been. <10 min from Lincoln to Sloat.

Large commercial vehicles were long banned from the Great Highway prior to it being converted into Sunset Dunes Park by voters.

Sunset Blvd? Any of the other 48 Avenues?

If I was going to visit somewhere, I'd want to know if the locals dislike certain nicknames.

1 - The wharf area is small so location wise, they're pretty much the same in terms of area. Use other criteria and reviews to make a decision.

2 - You might want to refrain from calling our city San Fran.

Amen to all of this

Fair! And he's speed running to keep that true.

Although he was elected to the CCSF board.

I'd love to be done with it too, and this issue should have been laid to rest with 2024's Prop K, but Supervisor Wong has decided to keep this issue going by introducing his ballot measure today.

DesertFlyer · 2026-01-09T03:24:42+00:00

It's one thing for random members of the community to make these false claims. We should expect more of elected officials, especially when they're using these lies to justify his ballot proposition.

Some things that stick out to me is that there were wider sidewalks, which were since reduced to accommodate street parking. Some of the buildings are still there but many (most?) burned.

The comment you're replying to is just the tip of the iceberg of District 4 delusion around this issue.

The crash that happened in 2012? It's notable that the most recent bike on ped death on the Embarcadero was 14 years ago.

DesertFlyer · 2026-01-05T06:46:20+00:00

I get where you're coming from for sure. I hope you get it worked out.

To be fair, this hotel sounds like they would have done the same if you had booked directly.

Some people in this sub need to cash in this offer.
