Fresh air break

Anonymous writes:Just discovered your blog and I have to say it's a breath of fresh air. I enjoy reading about SF and its various development projects, but feel blogs like sfist, curbed, sfcitizen don't really present much of a balanced view. While I don't agree with everything I've read here either, I'm glad there's someone like you on the intertubes and I look forward to becoming a regular reader.

Welcome aboard, Anon. I bet you didn't learn about this blog from other bloggers in the city, since they ignore me as much as possible. It's good that you mention development, since I often write about subjects other than the bike fantasy. You'll notice that I get a lot of comments from people on my bike posts but rarely get any on my posts about, say, the Market/Octavia Plan or UC's ripoff of the old extension property, two big projects that will completely remake the heart of the city for the worse. 

Back when I was a young radical, we grappled with some serious issues, like the war in Vietnam and civil rights. Here in the political theme park I call Progressive Land the young rads mostly get excited about relatively trivial issues, like graffiti, bicycles and defending their right to misbehave in public during the Bay to Breakers race.
