    The Chron had a forum Wednesday with the directors of BART and Muni and state Sen. Scott Wiener to talk about the future of transit in the Bay Area—and I really wanted to ask Wiener a question. The senator typically doesn’t respond to my calls and texts, so I bought a ticket to the event at Manny’s. (It was the second time I’ve ever been there.

    When Chesa Boudin was elected as San Francisco’s district attorney, a powerful political and communications operation immediately went into effect to try to undermine his policies. Unrelenting news stories talked about huge increases in crime, about a lawless city, about how a progressive DA was making us all less safe.

While the rich are enjoying massive gains, public transit and education and affordable housing are fighting over crumbs. We don't have to put up with this https://t.co/vzlRylJaAp
