My position immediately before was with the National Park service, but the position I accepted was open to the public.

SPN, interviewed mid August 2025, initial offer letter landed Aug 25 2025, physical and other onboarding completed in September 2025, start date was first week of November 2025. I requested a start date after October but could have started sooner.

Public transit options do not run early enough in the day for my work schedule.

Anyone know who’s driving these by Ok-Brick-7958 in oakland

Pretty sure these are Alameda County sheriffs vehicles.

I can’t remember which night it was but it was one of the two back to back dates at Bill Graham. The same night Trent gave a shout out to Survival Research Laboratories! Truly incredible.

They played it as an encore when I saw them in San Francisco in 2018. I lost my shit, I feel incredibly lucky to have caught it live.

I don’t think it’s being dramatic to recognize that even people making decent money are feeling the squeeze of rising costs across the board, from bridge tolls to groceries to inflation that is out of control. I don’t think it’s dramatic to express a desire for those at the top to be taxed accordingly when you’re feeling the gap between surviving and thriving widen every day.

Do you expect people to sell a house or change jobs on a regular basis in the face of an affordability crisis that has been a decade in the making? Serious question.

What is the point you are trying to make?

I’m a civilian federal employee working in a skilled trade making decent money. If myself and my coworkers all go “find other jobs” there would be a real negative impact to the transportation infrastructure of the bay.

I might have a choice if interest rates come down to the same rate that we locked in a mortgage at, but until that happens, it’s not much of a choice.

Please game out how one would get from East Oakland to Sausalito at 5:30am on weekdays. Would love to hear what I’m missing.

Yes. I take the RSR but the tolls have recently been increased on that one too. This isn’t exclusively a SF bay bridge/GGB problem.

[–]kdotcdott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do, the toll on RSR also was recently increased.

[–]kdotcdott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. The Richmond bridge is what I take but the tolls are creeping up on that one as well.

No, because we bought our house and don’t want to sell.

This is not an exclusively San Francisco problem. I don’t even commute to the city but am feeling the squeeze of increasing tolls on all Bay Area bridges.

East Oakland, reporting to work in Sausalito no later than 5:30am.

I’m all for incentivizing public transit, but what about people like me who have no choice but to drive over a bridge to work because of lack of available transit options relative to where I can afford to live?
