@BobHorowitz @mtheriaultsf Mostly the closing of Twin Peaks Blvd to humans, post COVID. In 2021 SFMTA conducted a community survey with several options for closing all or parts of the road to humans, and one of those options was the clear winner (a “compromise” option between humans and vehicles). He then overruled his own survey and SFMTA staff recommendations to invent an entirely new option that didn’t exist on the survey, and proposed that to the BoS for a vote. That option is what we have now: 75% of the roadway up there is now lost to human use.

It was bleedingly obvious that this invented option mostly benefited the various foreign tour bus companies that operate up there. I’m generally skeptical of conspiracy theories about corruption in SF, but this result did make me wonder if he was on the take, given the shambolic process and seemingly predetermined outcome he unilaterally rammed through.
