Compared to US transit systems, the latest metros being constructed around the world look like they rolled straight out of science fiction.

Picture driverless trains arriving every 90 seconds, platform screen doors, and subways traveling over 100mph.

Just speculation, but Coast Guard Base Alameda is a LOT closer to Fruitvale (53% Latino) than it is to San Francisco

Yes, the Dodgers are ruining baseball. As this piece hints at then ignores, their highest-in-the-league payroll doesn't include deferred payments. Hate hate hate to side with the owners, but MLB is the last league without any sort of salary cap www.latimes.com/sports/dodge...
Commentary: No, the Dodgers aren't ruining baseball. They just know how to spend their money
What detractors ignore is how the Dodgers aren’t the only team that spent big dollars this year to chase a title. It’s how they spend that separates them from other franchises.

My mother was a teacher, but now that I have a kid in Kindergarten -- there is no more underpaid profession in this society than educators. Shoutout to Miss Ellie, K Class 1 teacher at Cleveland Elementary in Oakland
OK, but -- the way the Bums are playing, I may just have to back Toronto as the team (slightly) likelier to beat them?
Outing myself as a Mariner fan* (*for the duration of these playoffs). One, Seattle 👍 And two, they're overdue. (**Oh who am I kidding, I'm for anyone who can beat the Dodgers)
This parade question feels like the most NYC question ever
Cuomo just seems really bad at this for someone who's been a major political figure for 30 years
Mamdani's vibe is high school debate champion -- not that that's a bad thing! (I got my head handed to me at State)
Just another Californian currently watching the New York City mayoral debate
The worm! No, it's this "childless adults don't exist" thing, of course
