Traffic School For Bikes - An Editorial
Santa Cruz, California has just begun a traffic school for "errant" bicyclists.
http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/ci_8676416
Perhaps it's too early to venture an opinion on this but my instinct says this is a really stupid idea. Why? Well, for one thing, the reasons bicyclists get cited for traffic violations in the first place only makes sense if you accept the premise that roads are mainly for automobiles and bicycles are an equivalent technology....

Lennar Dream Team cannot escape from the scourge of corruption and wicked ploys
Michael Sweet the Chair of the SF County Democratic Party chose to violate decency. He is also on the drab SF Human Rights Commission - a good for nothing Commission that is dubious in nauture - more so when Virginia Harmon was Director. Micheal Sweet has been cooperating with Lennar's Dream Team - using the Democratic Party to push for an agenda that betrays the people of San Francisco. This nonsense must stop. In the mean time our children are dying - exposed to poisons by Lennar - a Rogue ...

Calhoun Targets the Homeless
Fresno City Council member Brian Calhoun is targeting homeless people with another unnecessary “quality of life” ordinance. Calhoun wants to stop homeless people from asking for money on street medians.

Prop F stands for Fairness while Lennar stands of Gentrification and Greed with Prop G.
One of the first elements one looks in a good Development plan is an Environmental Impact Report. Especially, if the area is prone to liquefaction, Cumulative Pollution, has many toxic hot spots, and in general has no sound infrastructure. Add to that lack of transportation and the other Quality of Life elements that are lacking with Prop G and its Bayview Jobs, Parking, and Housing ballot measure - and you have a recipe that is bound to fail....
