More cyclists are being killed by cars. Advocates say U.S. streets are the problem

The pandemic got more people riding bikes, but the number of cyclists hit and killed by cars is rising at an alarming rate. "We're buying materials for ghost bikes in bulk," one cycling advocate says.

100%. I drive AND I bike. We need improved cycling infrastructure, even if only two percent of the population bikes. If I can be patient with cyclist when I drive, so can all other drivers.

San Diego Teachers’ Union Passes Resolution That Rejects Israel’s Legitimacy

The San Diego chapter of the American Federation of Teachers passed a resolution this month rejecting Israel’s legitimacy as a country and accusing the Israeli government of carrying out ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and war crimes against Palestinians.

Can anyone explain why a teachers union would get involved in this at all? There is only one explanation: leftists are antisemites. Period. Hating Jews has become a requirement to be on the left these days. It is now virtuous in their side to bask Jews and pretend that their antisemitism is actually about politics, big merely their racist tendency to see anyone outside of their intersectional coalition as an enemy.

The housing market is inflated because greedy developers are artificially inflating it, not because of a “housing shortage.”The City Council is corrupt and benefiting just as much from these irresponsible policies.

This is very sad, I lived in San Diego for 13 years and still consider it a second home. But, to be very honest, this doesn't surprise me at all. I experienced more (real) antisemitism during my time in San Diego than I had in my entire life previous to living there. It's just reality that outside of LA and New York it's just more common (although I have experienced it in LA too - particularly during my time at USC which has a history of looking the other way at bigotry when it's directed at Jews).
