if you're looking for direction on our local house of horrors (government), a san francisco voting guide for people who aren't insane:https://solana.substack.com/p/endorsements-for-human-civilization …

I agree with most of you here but I think voting no on rr is disastrous because despite how shittily run Caltrain is, it’s the life blood Silicon Valley. It’s currently running on less than 5% of ridership and 70% of their budget comes from ridership.
if this was just in response to covid, i would have been supportive. but the measure lasts 30 years. my high-level guide concerns are therefore not addressed, and i had to side against (though this one is close for me)

Fair enough. I went YES b/c if
@Caltrain goes under, it will be exponentially more expensive to resuscitate it and it does better than ~70% of revenue from fares. As opposed to@sfmta_muni, at ~20%. It’s also not wholly managed by@sfgov so that’s a plus. My 2c FWIW. -
That's not a given. If the pre tech monster Caltrain is subsidized, it will stay cramped, sparse, loud, stinking and expensive. If it folds, we can ask SV to compete for a replacement.

Also note that RR comes on the heels of leadership changes: https://www.greencaltrain.com/2020/08/the-caltrain-board-governance-resolution/ … If RR fails, Caltrain will remain beholden to the SF Board of Supervisors (SFCTA) for funding every year -- this is why Peskin sought to keep RR off the ballot:https://sf.streetsblog.org/2020/08/10/editorial-welcome-to-brinkman-station/ …
