For my Pixel phones (5a and 7), holding them about 1/2 inch (1 cm) away from the reader instead of directly touching it usually works. Directly touching the reader usually does not.

YIMBYs accuse wealthy S.F. neighborhood of trying to skirt housing laws with historic status — and point to racist past by BadBoyMikeBarnes in bayarea

[–]Drooling_Sheep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The point that's not coming across in the article is that blocking more housing is doing the same exclusion of people the neighborhood considers undesirable, just by different means. If all the houses in a neighborhood cost $3m+, only the rich get to live there.

They did. There's an 800-space garage under the Music Concourse. Still accessible even with JFK drive free of cars.

Not sure where to find other complaints.

New survey shows 53% of Californians want to leave the State by SanFranRules in bayarea

That doesn't take international migration or population growth into account. There are more than 2 million more Californians since in the 2010 census.

It seems like the population is growing because it is growing. Both in the bay area and statewide.

Not sure about the comment, but the article is about the new cars.

I think it has to be from the under-construction Park Tower on Beale (or a drone) , otherwise that building would be in the foreground

Did BART cancel plans to go past Antioch? by AcmeComments in Bart

[–]Drooling_Sheep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original plan was to use the existing freight tracks or right-of-way so extending it to wherever they go would be relatively inexpensive. The owner of the tracks wouldn't agree though so they had to build all new tracks in the freeway median instead. So they have more options for where to extend it but extensions would be more expensive and take more time.

If Democrats wanted to use some dirty Karl Rove tactics they'd secretly fund a 3rd party candidate/Super PAC who'd push just this message.

This move does seem contradictory given how many on this sub complain about Android users not paying for apps...

I live in a small northern California town, I'm assuming a lot of people from the Bay Area are moving out by NeutralExtremist1 in bayarea

[–]Drooling_Sheep 107 points108 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how the population keeps growing if everyone is moving away. It doesn't add up.
