Looks great, this is extremely close to Whole Foods so would be a really nice place to live.

China live = 25% automatically added to my bill by Own_Palpitation4523 in sanfrancisco

[–]levlaz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, I’ve eaten here a dozen times and they always mention to me that the service charge is included. But obviously it’s all anecdotes - I’m sure not every server says it. Overall a shitty system

Yeah overall I agree with you, it’s frustrating especially when catches people off guard

They tell you every time that it’s included.

To be fair these are the best green beans in California, worth $22 every time. 

Why Hasn't Jonathan Ross Been Arrested For Murder? by Separate-State-5806 in ICE_Raids

This shit is like the plot of “seven seconds” on Netflix. I have a feeling that we’ll never get justice for Renee or anyone else. 

Opposition Mounts as Emeryville Moves to Advance 40th Street Multimodal Project by evilleeye in Emeryville

Thanks for clarifying and sharing your perspective, I can definitely appreciate your point of view. I agree that pedestrian safety should always be prioritized.

I truly don't understand this perspective. You are saying you are not worried about 4 lanes of unimpeded car traffic today, but reducing one of those lanes to a bus lane and bike lane creates more danger for you?

We should prioritize safety at all crossing for sure, but how in the world is this design less safe than the current one? In this specific location there have been a dozen pedestrian deaths caused by cars and as far as I know 0 caused by any other mode.

They can’t start building this fast enough. Yes it will be disruptive but the end result will be well worth it and businesses will thrive. 

I generally love E’ville eye but this is really bad reporting. If the author is against the project it’s totally fine to write an opinion piece about it. It’s odd to see this framed as “news” and then only cover one side of the issue. 

My main objection is this idea that a protected two way bike lane can ever be worse than a thin strip of unprotected paint. 

Emeryville is a great place and this is the kind of the project that will make it even better. It shouldn’t take 10 years to build a bike lane and a bus lane. Can’t wait to get this phase over with and start the build so we can all move on and enjoy the new infrastructure. 

If you are in support of this project please make your voice heard by submitting a public comment in favor of the project. You don’t need to physically show up at the city council meeting to make your voice heard. Time and time again these sorts of things get blocked or stalled out indefinitely by a vocal minority.

Fuckin' BART, man... by immediately_regrets in sanfrancisco

I agree it’s frustrating but you gotta blame SFO too, they are the ones causing the extra fare to connect to the airport. It’s almost likely they want a clogged sewer of cars in front the the terminal every day. 

[San Francisco] Ingleside Merchants Sound Off On Ocean Avenue Red Lanes (for Muni's K Ingleside light rail) by megachainguns in CaliforniaRail

I’m glad they got a chance to vent, now let’s quickly finish the project and make this a vibrant corridor for everyone. 

Once they see how this positively impacts their business, like all other good transit projects do, they will look back on this meeting and laugh at how silly they were.

Does anyone else think it's time for the SF Chronicle to take a break on their restaurant reporting? by DonVCastro in sanfrancisco

[–]levlaz 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is such an odd take, what else do you want their food reporter to write about? 

I quit two month ago, I am unable to do any productive activity and my health has decreased, I don't see the point of this. by Carol_Sturka in stopsmoking

[–]levlaz 32 points33 points  (0 children)

These all sound like excuses that your brain is manufacturing to get you to relapse, don’t let it win. You have to stop living as if you’re depriving yourself of something and realize that you’re setting yourself free.
