I think we might have run into each other in person when canvassing for Joel Brooks. Or I might be misremembering. Anyway, Joel never talked like this (at least in public), and no serious candidate or organizer should, either.

Besides being politically counterproductive -- who exactly does he think is voting for progressive candidates in cities? -- this take is like forty years out of date. Young white people in urban centers, known for their... dislike of seasoned food?

Try Dykes Lumber for the door itself, they've been really helpful to me with door/window stuff.

Yeah, it's made a woman who I assume is a co-owner. I talked to her once about how good her kimchi was, it had something to do with using a particular fruit for fermentation, if I recall correctly.

I don't know -- I'd be happy to be proven wrong by an appropriate study, but I think traffic lights would have the opposite effect, safety-wise. Green lights are interpreted by drivers as permission to speed as fast as they want, as long as they abide by the lights (and they'll often press on the gas to rush through a yellow light, anyway). But our neighborhood is full of pedestrians crossing mid-block, kids on scooters/bikes on the sidewalk with maybe not the best control... it's not enough for cars to stop at intersections, we also need them to drive slowly in-between intersections.

I'd rather we add a lot of speed bumps and further narrow the streets (like with protected bike lanes or another method), to basically make it practically difficult for drivers to go at unsafe speeds.
