Architecture wanderings, transit & planning, San Francisco and beyond. The joy that can be found in the everyday.
Who actually calls it X? That's a letter or a Roman numeral.
2 years ago today, Twitter became X.
How it should be to be honest. You want warmer weather? You can literally travel in any other direction. The dorks complaining about our natural fog belt do it for attention.
San Francisco isn’t expected to hit 70°F again this July. If that holds, it’ll tie the all-time record: just two days above 70°F in June and July, the fewest since records began in 1874. This is your grandfather’s SF summer.
Many cities have indeed asked that question.
But what if this was three parked cars instead?
Excuse me?
just remembered that americans don’t have random old castles in the countryside that they can go and visit
It's funny how the Trump Administration tries to yank back money that Congress appropriated (illegal) for CA High-Speed Rail by arguing the project has no path forward. That's like mugging someone and then criticizing them for not having enough money.
Watch the dirt moving around into different piles cam.
Watch the future unfold in real time! The construction of our ballpark has officially begun, and you can follow every step. athletics.com/ballparkcam
The worst type of New Yorker you can come across are the ones that pretend they genuinely enjoy this type of summer weather. We're so spoiled out in the Bay Area, if only we built the housing to match our superior climate.
The not so hidden secret is that 'Dave and Liz' once represented the counter culture left in the '60s and still have an 'All our welcome' sign on their lawns.
YIMBYs and the left have the same enemy: boomer NIMBY homeowners. Don’t let them divide us lol. Can’t you see Dave and Liz who met at Cal in 1972 and bought a cedar shingle for 275k and block every single development want us to fight.
Fog holds on the hills Planes taxi towards their gates Under a bright moon. A haiku for @flySFO.
I think it’s very telling that Obama is angry about housing being unaffordable and internet left wing edgelords can only see it through the prism of their obsessive internet beefs
Let's not memory hole the fact that Salesforce Tower was originally slated to be 1,200ft instead of its current 1,070ft which was mandated in part by @sfplanning being concerned about shadow impacts. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/new…
Superman is actually a powerful allegory for the immigrant experience, demonstrating resilience, adaptation, and the invaluable contributions of those who build new lives in a new land.
THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP. 🇺🇸
What is old is new again in regards to our country's rail travel. Check out this old Intercity map from @Amtrak and their corresponding advertising.
Did you know that Russia sends those nationalities to die en masse in its invasion of Ukraine, disproportionately targeting ethnic minorities?
Did you know over 190 nationalities and ethnic groups live in Russia?
Reminder that the funding gap for the Howard Terminal project in Oakland was just $36 million. John Fisher apparently can spend $29 million on house NUMBER FIVE, though. Just another reminder that he LIED when he said he gave it his all to keep the team in Oakland!
Las Vegas Athletics owner John Fisher quietly purchased a $29 million home in Summerlin's exclusive Summit Club recently. It was the city's 3rd-highest sale ever, and happened just after the A's stadium deal was approved.
Will this new @Athletics head of technology figure out how to turn on replies here?
The A's are hiring!
