I'm so sick of people who at campaign time put out dead-tree mail with them in a Prius, talking on and with loads of buzzwords, but when it comes time to make hard choices, they vote against transit or bikes or whatever. plus anyone who can safely ride a bike down Post on to Kearny as Dave did in that photo, and not get killed by the crazy drivers deserves a medal or something.

I have had the opportunity to talk to him while he was running for office. We talked about the central subway ( a huge waste of transit money and effort, in my opinion ), and he said that the money is pretty much alloted to that project so getting funding for something else would be hard pressed. Though he didn't think it was the best idea, he found it to be better then nothing. I feel that a transit-only stockton would be a much better option and at a fraction of the cost. I wish David the best of luck, and I think he will make a great BOS Pres. Also, I'm very happy to see my sup living the same car-free lifestyle as myself.
