The low-emission zone only reduced total car traffic by around 5-10%. The reduction in driving to school is much higher than expected.

Tesla has notoriously bad rear visibility. And just being a larger vehicle means more blind spots no matter how many cameras/sensors are used to compensate. I’ve unfortunately been a passenger enough times to know Tesla’s collision avoidance stuff doesn’t work at all.
The statista link isn’t publicly readable, but other sources say Mustang-ev is #3. Ford calls it an SUV. Long-term, the Administration is subsidizing 1-for-1 replacement of the fleet with EV equivalent – so expect much more SUV/truck in the EV sector if they get their way.
LOL ok you got me there. I mean driving is the dominant mode in SF.
Nope, the map color is correct for San Francisco.
Has nothing to do with the number of properties. The rule would apply to any owner having at least 50 units under management. A single mid-sized apartment building might qualify.
Yimby is about removing the red-tape that prevents development. There is no bigger red-tape than rent-control. Even if all other restrictions, such as SFH zoning, were removed it wouldn’t matter because nobody will build in areas with rent control.
What a bunch of BS. Kamala Harris is pushing rent control – the complete opposite of Yimby.
Nothing unusual? On the same day he got the noise ticket, he received tickets for running a red light and speeding in a school zone.
There is no contradiction. Just because the vehicle is licensed for street use doesn’t give the owner permission to operate it in ways that violates the law.
Actually, the law does just say “above 85db” is not allowed. Doesn’t matter if the car is stock or not.
Sorry, but it is mainly Biden’s policies. The administration has largely ignored white collar crime, especially when it comes to things like price collusion, antitrust, etc.
Case in point: the DOJ lawsuit against RealPage software (which landlords were using to collude on apartment prices). The company was engaged in extremely serious criminal activity, but the DOJ did not file any criminal charges.
The Amish are required to have lights during the daytime also.
NYC has never been interested in making parking efficient. The parking meter rates are ridiculously cheap, with many streets not charging anything for parking (or even having time limits). And yes, giving away valuable parking makes driving much more complicated – but apparently the Governor was in a diner and overheard some voters from NJ complaining about increased costs…

Scoop-n-run vs Stay-n-play has been a long-running debate, with conflicting data and studies.
No, there are major differences. The classic example was Princess Diana, who spent the last hour of her life mere yards outside a hospital with an emergency room that could have probably saved her life. French protocol, as you say, is the “stabilize” the patient before moving, whereas in the US the EMS would have done a scoop-and-run.
This particular street is wider because it once had trolley tracks running down the middle, before the Key System was ripped out in 1958 by General Motors.
The space will be used for a parking lot (originally was supposed to have a cycletrack, but that was deleted as well).
The project cost is $25 million. There will be long-term pavement maintenance costs that comes with the wider highway, not to mention the giant parking lot that is going in. There will be lost property tax revenue, and more death/injury. So it is highly doubtful the refurb costs of the buildings on that block would have been remotely close to all that.
This type of collision involving a sober driver and drunk pedestrian is included in the tally of alcohol-related traffic crashes. As a result, it exaggerates the problem of DUI – which the road lobby likes because they can blame traffic fatalities on the “epidemic” of drunk drivers rather than their dangerous stroad designs.
