RV toilets: Why I’ll never have a bathroom in my camper
Amen! Megan’s advice is right on. We use a $60 portable toilet in our Sportsmobile-converted Sprinter van. It is easily stowed or removed and can be positioned discreetly a distance from the campsite (we utilize dispersed camping areas as much as possible). It makes life so much easier while on a road trip.
In East New York, 121 affordable apartments up for grabs from $413/month
Residents at Van Sinderen Plaza will also have access to numerous amenities including a roof deck, a recreation room, outdoor space, bicycle storage, a coin-operated laundry, an on-site super, and parking (this is available for additional fees).
Amenities, huh? Just what working class families need. Not. So, I’m just going to assume that these aren’t going to local NYC families but Becky and Chad, who are being priced out of Manhattan.
Proposition C: Is it the right move for homelessness now?
The insanity is trying to build new housing for "the Bay Area’s homeless" in the most expensive part of the Bay Area -San Francisco.
$425,000 per unit- for basically a tiny studio or SRO. The affordable housing project SF is building at 16th and S. Van Ness will cost over $900,000 per unit- a mix of mostly studios and 1 br. units, with a few 2 br. And that’s before the inevitable cost overruns….
When garden variety "tax and spend" liberals are screaming, "Don’t pass this tax!!" you know how rotten it is.
While I think it’s undeniable that Lyft and Uber are playing a massive role in the incredible traffic in sf, let’s not forget that the decrease in speed on major and minor arterial streets like 8th street or Van Ness is intentional.
Slowing these streets down by 10-20% is a core goal of vision zero, and the major point of all the new protected bike lanes and bulb outs. The way we protect pedestrians is with slower, narrower streets. This has been a core goal of the city for years, and shouldn’t be viewed as a problem.
You forgot Golden Gate Transit buses, which will take you to Marin & Sonoma counties from SF. They usually start at the Transbay Terminal – then go up Van Ness, Lombard and cross the Golden Gate Bridge. I live right off Van Ness, so every GGT bus that goes to Marin stops right in front of my apartment. I find it easier to commute to Marin along GGT than to take CalTrain down to the Peninsula.
Golden Gate Transit buses also use Clipper cards, and are a lot cleaner & nicer than most other public transit systems. Marin County is notoriously bad for public transit (they refused to let BART go there), but if you’re going somewhere in Marin that’s close to a GGT bus line taking the bus is actually pretty easy. Especially if you’re going to downtown San Rafael, where the bus terminal serves most lines.
The answer is yes. The perfect example will be the new stadium. Inglewood had a horrible reputation, Gangs, low income, drugs. The only good part of Inglewood was the Forum and the Racetrack, then the casino.
Now property values are through the roof and the old is moving out or getting forced out bringing in better residents and hopefully, better social places. Now, this is not going to affect the anything East of Van Ness but Van Ness and to the west of Inglewood is going to be amazing.
This same plan will happen when the Metro is finished at Crenshaw and Exposition. The areas between Exposition and Florence will see a lot of old dingy mom and pop stores disappear and new much need Modern stores built. Note this is a main line of traffic to the Stadium. So its all being done hand in hand.
