I’m participating in Scarlet & Give Back Day because Grinnell College was transformative for me, and because equity in education matters. Grinnell is one of a very few top liberal arts colleges that offer needs-blind admissions. alumni.grinnell.edu/givebackday #GivingtoGrinnell

“Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even tho he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — @ParisMarx @Gizmodo gizmodo.com/silicon-valley…

That's two ABAG cities that have achieved compliance on DRAFT 1--Emeryville and Alameda. That's what happens when you take this process seriously and try. My city? It hasn't even submitted a draft yet and we no longer have a consultant to help make it happen.

This is Cupertino's future starting February 1 because our council couldn't get its act together to pass a compliant Housing Element in time. Even today, the Planning Commission was musing over how everything is going to be fine. Just breathtaking incompetence.

The fact that Democrats picked the daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants for VP tells you what we stand for. @KamalaHarris went to Howard and rose up through hard work. She represents a multi-racial, multi-cultural future for America.


China has made astounding progress on transit. Meanwhile, in the Bay Area, we can look back to an aspiration 62 years old and observe that we have failed to build effective transit in the Bay Area, with transit deserts in cities like Cupertino.

“Most of us moved to Silicon Valley because of the economic opportunity. The question is, are we affording our kids that same opportunity? I think we’re beginning to have a change of heart about #housing.” - well said by @RodSinks on #Vallco: sfchronicle.com/business/artic…
