What they're doing is cleaning up after themselves, offering enviable jobs and ensuring that their workers can get to them with minimal impact on traffic congestion and the sorely neglected transit infrastructure. It's an example others should follow.

Want a story to write? Here's one: how is it that this city consistently elects the most progressive politicians in the country, managing an absolutely massive budget, and yet the cost of housing, quality of transit & conditions on the street are all borderline intolerable?

I don't know, I think it might be sort of nifty if we actually held the people we elect to make progress on these issues accountable for doing that, rather than blaming employers for... what? Hiring people? Helping them get to work?
