I am still pissed off about Boulder's Pearl St.'s West End being re-opened to cars. pedestrian-only West End was one of the best things Boulder had done in recent years. All to protect some *really* crappy parking spots.

The faux-centrist pundits wouldn't dream of talking about white rural people in the terms that they do college students across the board [even though some college students hail from white rural communities].

And sign me up for a no confidence vote in President Maric. Brazen contempt for the university community to refuse to make statements while simultaneously sending state police out to arrest students & confiscate their property.
Textbook urban-planning-gone-bad is authority a) seeing people/lawful actions they don't like, b) passing new rules to make those actions illegal, c) selective enforcement against low power people. The silence of ACSP member school depts as this is done against students is gross.
This is what happens when you try to do municipal social democracy without public sector capacity: actual implementation gets left to a whole ecosystem of unaccountable contractors, which is an invitation for graft. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...
