Everyone goes through red lights here. Cars, trucks, pedestrians, cyclists, everyone. For some reason, self righteous internet comments just decide certain road users should be held to a saintly standard.

Don't know what to tell you. Your mom and I are probably similar age. I graduated Edward R Murrow in 1987. Used to go to the village a lot. 8th street playhouse once a week for midnight showing of Rock Horror - that would be the 1 train to Christopher Street. I'd hang out at CBGBs a lot. That was the 6 to Bleecker. Home was 2/3 to Eastern Parkway. And then Murrow was D,M, and Qb.
I was always on the trains, but these were pretty much my go-to places. There were always shitty nights, of course, but by and large, the trains were a WHOLE lot more reliable back then.

^ Thank you! I’m all for micro-mobility stuff and I’m sure a lot more people would be too if the users actually had some courtesy when on the road
The reputation cyclists and e-bikers and other riders have amongst a lot people are “those annoying assholes who go through red lights,” not to say that they’re all bad but that’s the general view of them from my experience
Also this issue of batteries exploding is just insane, how are these bikes and scooters still allowed on the street? Can you imagine the uproar if it was EV batteries or maybe the batteries within hybrid vehicles?

Granted, this was the 90s. I'd take MUNI from SFSU to my house in Sunset. Usually clean, pretty reliable. Pretty far from the San Francisco nonsense of downtown.

Don't understand why Amazon feels the need to operate what's basically an upscale bodega...

The fire that’s been burning since 1pm due to this e-bike battery explosion is doing great things for this city.

B and Q line. I'd say once or twice a week there are delays during the evening rush hour. Signal problems, track fires, police activity. About once every few months I need to take a cab home. When that happens, it's a signal problem on multiple lines and I guess the whole system is gummed up for a few hours.

Difference being that banning cars would actually be good for the city.

What kind of trash stats is that? Base on number? Asian only have 5% of population of US while black has 20%. Of course theres more hate crime on black than Asian if you base on number. Worst analysis ever

that's the only time you can get anyone to "care" about crimes against Asian Americans.

I’m not sure you understand what the word ‘optics’ means.

“Im shocked” I claimed, with a straight face.
With all the tech layoffs, Im not surprised. Also, pretty sure the brains atop figured they can just save costs & take all that merchandise into the Whole Foods stores, saving on rent munnies, products and everything else in-between.

What's just as scary as this situation is in the New York Post's comment section the commentors (almost always conservatives) are accusing the attackers of being African-American. I wanted to set up an account and tell them to watch the video closely again.
It's like this vicious cycle of hate in this country.

Thank you for posting this, I didn’t even know this (chemical suicide) was a thing. What a terrible way to go, especially if you end up hurting or killing innocent bystanders that are trying to help.

None of that is the right way. Dealing with the sale of sketchy equipment is.
