Here’s the email I sent to the Supes:
I have lived in San Francisco for 44 years. Born and raised in London during the 70s, I was aware of the importance of public transport to the life of a major world class city. Thanks to visionary government, the antique London transport system became revitalized to meet the needs of the 21st century.
Not in San Francisco where funding cuts threaten our city’s health and future.
Please look to major metropolitan areas across the globe, take note of concepts like congestion charges, local income taxes, & taxes on the ultra wealthy (of which we have plenty!) to ensure that this jewel of a city actually has a future through public transport.
I take Muni every day. I use the Metro and the bus system. San Francisco is my oyster thanks to the robust transportation system our little yet world class town.
San Francisco needs its transportation system and it needs you to step up and make our future brighter.
