    It's both fantastic and annoying to see how quickly @DanielLurie has whipped SF back into shape. I realize there's a ton more to do, but the fact this seemed like an intractable problem for years to the previous administration(s) is bonkers in light of how much Lurie has already

    Props to @nikitabier ... it is quite something to go into a 15-20 year old code base....ANY 15-20 year old code base, and act as quickly and nimbly as he has in making a variety of changes that certainly appear to be adding a ton of user value (and associated use metrics). Very

    This is precisely the kind of idiotic behavior that will guarantee you keep losing elections. This is "defund the police" level stupidity.
