and people want us to go green.......thats impossible unless SFMUNI gets their act together. All those officers, you don't need to pay their salaries if you do what I just said. Ever seen Tokyo's subway system. Its genius. The door is left open, and if you don't flash a pass then it automatically closes, thus keeping the traffic of people going fast.

SFMTA Muni is bullshit. Its one of the poorest systems I've ever seen. First of all, its common sense to let people buy something like a fast track pass, that the bill depending on use comes to THEIR HOUSE. Its useless to buy bus passes that are extremely expensive. They should have a special type of door on the muni. You flash the pass, you get in. You don't flash it, it detects movement and closes on you. ITS SIMPLE. I can't believe that MUNI is still continuing its useless service.

Mayor Gavin Newsom has said he would not allow his Police departments in any way enforce immigration laws or turn over to ICE illegal immigrants that are juveniles convicted of crimes. Anthony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16, were returning from a picnic when they were gunned down on June 16, 2008 by Salvadoran national Edwin Ramos, 22. Ramos was arrested on felonies twice when he was 17 years old and never turned over to immigration because of his age.

Gavin: What do you think of the hit youtube sensation Mandrill Maze?

[asphyxiafeeling]

I think it's great you give updates to your city VIA social media, like youtube.

All politicians should do this!
