If we had to stick to transportation-specific improvements, I would use the money to eliminate bus fare for a year. (muni generates about $100M in fare, so really it would be enough money to eliminate fare for ~3 years.) Unlike subway fare,

We definitely need more metro, trams, bus routes, and bike paths. I especially want the latter because I bike to and from work every day. However, I have to wonder about the cost of these projects. In SF, we recently spent $346 million on t

It just doesn't make that much sense to me. "And also the entire movie staff that chose floors with seven pointed stars for the bank" - so the entire movie staff is antisemitic? And what is the connection between a seven poin

> The banks are run by goblins with big noses. I can believe that the origins of this trope are antisemetic, but I don't see very much reason to think that any antisemitic mindset was in JK Rowling's head when she wrote it.
