The Plan Commission has 3 applications for car-oriented businesses on the agenda today. A car wash half a block from a future bus rapid transit station. A Starbucks _without_ walk-up access in the middle of a neighborhood. A bank drive-through in a regional mixed use district. In each case, staff analysis points out how this is against the recommendations in plans and ordinance, and yet they recommend approval. Our ordinance is too weak.

Cities' elected officials love to talk about prioritizing transit but most of them don't have a lever to pull on for that. Getting cars out of the way of bikes and buses *is* something within reach. And if your city ever finally takes bikes seriously, enough people will be able to actually access transit. Politics/funding of , , , all works itself out once you connect and maintain a low-stress .

The difference in land use - and the benefit to residents is really impressive at 730 Stanyan, next door to Amoeba Records in San Francisco. One fast food lot will become 160 apartments. I'm happy to see this.
