Yeah - none of this reporting can be trusted from the chronicle, the SF politics are crazy and there’s a lot of bullshit/bad-faith.

I hope cruise overcomes this and the people putting traffic comes and such on the cars are stopped.

This isn’t an example of shooting the messenger because you dislike the message. The SF Chronicle just has a track record of anti SF bias, then turning around and complaining about the effects of their own reporting https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2023/sf-downtown-doom-l...

It’s sadly not a trustworthy source on these matters

Sometimes the messenger is part of the problem and not a neutral actor.
Kind of cringe when he says "Municipal Transportation Association". Comes off like a guy who has probably never boarded a bus.
While I was skeptical about this video and the tone it opens up with did nothing to help with that, it is actually worth a watch.
What's the summary?
Oooh, this is awesome. Thanks! I'll have to use that more often.

I miss the days when people published their thoughts in writing... so many videos are just minutes/hours of wasted time.

oh my god, thank you. i've been wanting this tool forever.
