strongest correlation i've ever seen in @chrisarvinsf's tool

precincts that thought it was a solid idea to close a road to cars to create park space in 2022 also tended to go for that in 2024!

@scott @chrisarvinsf Oooh the Outer Richmond is pissed about this!

[scott@carfree.city]

@aarbrk as is the Central and Outer Sunset, which puts Sup. Engardio in a pickle for having put K on the ballot

@scott @aarbrk Recall time?!

[scott@carfree.city]

@chema @aarbrk they are talking about it. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/joel-engardio-prop-k-great-highway-19903292.php

We need constitutional reform in California. Recalls should take a 2/3 vote

@scott @chema @aarbrk Recalls also need a much higher barrier to getting on the ballot in the first place.

@jef @scott @chema @aarbrk recalls a tool for the rich to undermine democracy. What changes could be made to our recall laws that wouldn’t further exasperate this problem? For example, requiring more signatures would be easier for the rich (since they fund signature collectors) while making it harder for genuine volunteers/grassroot campaigns to do the same.

[jef@mastodon.social]

@docpop @scott @chema @aarbrk Banning paid signature collecting would be good too!
