Last time I remember hearing about it, the subsidy required for bay ferry service came out at about $60 per ride. That, and diesel particulate with shallow water ecosystem disturbance! What did Lou Reed once say: "Candy came from out on the island." -marc Venice on the Bay but without all the history, architecture and culture?

And if you believe that global warming is actually real and that the oceans are going to be rising a bit, why in god's name would one create "redevelopment" on landfill in the middle of a bay other than sheer greed? It's ridiculous. What Marc said.

Remember how Newsom used TI as bait to entice independent conservative Tony Hall from the Board of Supervisors and appoint conservative loyalist Sean Elsbernd to replace him? Ethics waivers flew like confetti, but once Hall had exhausted his usefullness, Newsom engineered his canning. So, yeah, dollar signs really capture the essence of TI. But seriously, are there any artists involved in the selection committee or is it all technocrats? -marc How about bling bike racks, shaped like dollar signs, to represent the wholesale giveaway of public entitlement to Willie Brown’s cronies like Darius Anderson that the TI Redevelopment project is all about?
