Not as much trash in the office to be picked up if everyone is working from home!

Boom!

We paid our janitorial, security, and cafeteria staff through the whole pandemic. After the first month or two, the cafeteria staff started coming in, tested at some rate and masked, and used the kitchen to produce meals to donate to shelters and Meals on Wheels.

But not every company out there is one of the top corporate citizens in the world. Didn't hurt our stock price, was great for morale.

"Floors are often littered with food containers, syringes and empty liquor bottles. Reported crimes were up 54% in 2022 from 2021, driven largely by an increase narcotic and weapons complaints and it’s not uncommon to see people openly using drugs on the light rail trains."

And in the same story from the Metro transit Police Chief, "I never felt threatened, ....."

I mean, yes, this is definitely real, and public transit is gonna have a heavy lift in these sorts of corridors, and in emptying downtowns. It's not the druggies that emptied the trains or the downtowns - the druggies went there because it was empty.

But Caltrain, SMART, Sprinter, BART, Cap Corridor, San Joaqins aren't seeing these sorts of problems. Maybe it's primarily happening in crapholes like Minnesota.

Any news on the lawsuit in Illinois? A judge put implementation of bail reform on hold pending the state SC decision.

If we had adequate healthcare, education, transportation, and housing, then crime would decline on its own.

People can feel that, BART has always had a tiny bit of grit, but it felt a lot more "safe" on a train packed SRO during rush hour, no matter what.

But if it were perfectly safe they'd still be working from home and not taking BART. If they were choosing some other form of transportation to downtown SF instead of BART, then the other article posted about downtown SF being a ghost town wouldn't be possible, because people would have driven to SF. They aren't.

Caltrain and SMART have zero of this seediness, Caltrain was basically lawyers and investment bankers going into the city and programmers going south. I took it a few weeks ago in peak rush, those trains used to be SRO, it was maybe 20% capacity. Nobody's going in.

Rush hour traffic sort of exists now, in that you actually see a few cars, but compared to pre-covid it's laughable how little traffic there is.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen someone who hates progressives as much as he hates Trump.

Excuses, excuses,.excuses for normalizing abnormal behavior. We all lived through the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s....

And mass transit was far better then it is now due to all the bums.
