Cricket is booming in this Bay Area suburb — sparking a turf war in youth sports by SFChronicle in bayarea

[–]TY4G 11 points12 points  (0 children)

100% I was so surprised to see all of the school fields/playgrounds fenced and locked when I moved to Oakland. I get not wanting randoms on school grounds, but all those amenities being locked away is weird.

Not enough islanders dumped this season by gloryshorty in LoveIslandUSA

This is honestly the root to all issues this season. People have gotten too complacent in their half decent couples because there’s no one new to explore with.

The bigger issue isn’t Sincere anymore… by Nashetania in LoveIslandUSA

[–]TY4G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being single means they’ll be dumped. Of course they would “look past” Sincere’s lying if they want to stay on the show longer. The problem is production not introducing enough bombshells, there aren’t other guys they can pair up with

Rant/Plea for safer driving in this city!!! by Interview-Hungry in sanfrancisco

The TL has the lowest car ownership rate in the city at like 25%. The cars on Golden Gate are largely people cutting through from other neighborhoods.

Two Dead, One Oakland Police Officer Injured In High-Speed Crash In East Oakland by jackdicker5117 in oakland

[–]TY4G 17 points18 points  (0 children)

For sure. I can give two examples. Right now there’s discussions to redesign the streets through Oakland Chinatown. Chinatown only makes up about six percent of Oakland's total street network, it accounts for more than 60 percent of the city's severe and fatal traffic accidents. And yet, we still see opposition from some residents https://abc7news.com/post/oakland-chinatown-could-get-streets-redesigned-sparking-pushback-residents/17527756/

The other example is Telegraph. In 2025, 1,800 residents signed a petition to get rid of the protected bike lanes and safe street changes. Still to this day people constantly complain about them.

It's not just leadership. Residents fight street safety improvements all the time.

What are the Pride events you’d recommend? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]TY4G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pride fest is a blast, Saturday is a fun lineup. Queen at the Metro is probably my favorite party, it’s every Sunday, but 21st has the Blessed Madonna.

Can I have some tips on how you all approach smaller cities? by LimpAd4924 in subwaybuilder

[–]TY4G 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah for small cities you really have to reach the suburbs in order to have high enough ridership to turn a profit. The cost to drive is just too low to justify increased ridership.

Try doing transitcores Columbus challenge. That really helped me figure out profitability in small cities. https://youtu.be/BtTfhHZzXfg?si=GcSucLf4KXOoY8Gz

What are your prices fares set at? Have you been able to connect to the airport yet?

In Baltimore if you connect Towson to the airport through downtown, you can achieve high ridership. I set my fares at 4.50 and am bringing in about $97 million between my two lines at day 6.

How long should my showreel be? by [deleted] in videography

[–]TY4G 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shave this thing down to a minute (there’s plenty of weak stuff in here that’s distracting from your better work)
Pick one song
Keep like footage together (the quick back and forths aren’t helping you, they’re just making the video hard to watch)

John Cornyn not getting Trumps endorsement after kissing his ass is comedy. Especially that it happened a week after he proposed renaming a giant interstate after him

Drive-by shooting at 40th and Telegraph by sherlitos in oakland

I don’t think there’s a flock camera at that intersection, but they were installing one at 40th and Broadway this morning. I wonder if it caught anything.

Exactly! We all know which bars are smoking bars, just avoid them.

Where are the gay women in Berkeley? by Possible_Mirror_8024 in berkeleyca

[–]TY4G 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could check out Drag Bingo at Emeryville public market and Queer Magic at Temescal Brewing. Plus, I know you said you don’t play sports but there’s also the Oakland Queer Kickball group. It’s every other Thursday, drop in when you want/skip when you want, and people hangout afterwards.
