San Diego Beech Street parking fiasco. Downtown Mobility Plan failure. Forgot Dutch Boy paint?


Confusion and chaos are how some people are describing driving and parking in Little Italy on Thursday after crews began adding new bike lanes downtown.

A mess -- nobody knows what’s going on,” said resident Corry Candland.

The bike lanes located on Beech Street have a row of cars parked next to the curb, and next to those cars is what looks like a bike lane, and next to that is another row of parked cars.

It’s going to be much better defined," said Jose Ysea, a spokesperson for the City of San Diego.
[.]
And it touches on, of course, the climate action plan: Getting people out of vehicles and onto bicycles,” said Ysea.
Government - any government - getting something right the first time? A pipe dream; a fantasy of unicorns, mermaids and pixies.

"It's going to be much better defined." Uh-huh. First, government fucks up whatever it is they implement. Then...they have to fix what they did because no real foresight and planning was conceived in the first place.

It's always a good idea mixing 4,000 pound vehicles with lighter objects, like people on scooters and bicycles. It's for the Climate Action Plan. What could go wrong?

The "other two" painters are elected public servants.

Heavy.com is NOT reliable. Reports John Earnest "open lettter filled with references" to 4Chan.

Heavy.com is unreliable.

Case in point, their story of John Earnest: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know, item # 3:

John Earnest posted a link his manifesto on 8chan, an imageboard-style forum, and his “open letter” is filled with references to the far right and other dark corners of the Internet. He also referenced 4Chan’s /pol/ message board.
Earnest's "open letter / manifesto" never once mentions 4Chan. He mentions 8Chan once, referring to how others will post on 8Chan writing, " 'Feds are talking to me guys because I post on 8chan, it’s so spooky’ are ‘organically’ popping up.' What a load of shit [.]"

He's writing about the postings of others on 4Chan and 8Chan, not himself.

WTF Heavy? What and who are the "Other Dark Corners of the Internet"? The only reference Heavy makes is PewDiePie as their example of a "Dark Corner"? PewDiePie (PDP) a "Dark Corner"? AYFKM?

Earnest's manifesto does mention /pol/ but both 4Chan and 8Chan have their versions of a similar sub using /pol/ and simply, /p.  I don't know what point Heavy.com is attempting to make. That Earnest was radicalized by what he read or viewed on 8Chan, 4Chan or PDP?

I haven't looked today, but I'd imagine John Earnest and his terrorist actions are mentioned all over The Chans. I spent some time at 4Chan last night and found nothing referencing him prior to the shootings.

According to Media Bias, Heavy.com skews politically Left. Please, no - I'm not saying "we can't ever trust Left-leaning media sites."

I can't remember the exact story, but it was recent. I read various reports on the issue. Again, wish I could remember the topic but I can't. Essentially, what I read were conflicting information the likes of:

One story said, "the car was heading east."

A second story said, "the car was heading west."

That kind of thing.

Heavy.com is known for it's "Five Fast Facts You Need to Know About [Insert subject or issue]." Heavy.com is like Wikipedia. Both are okay, below mid-level, sources for general, casual information and knowledge on any subject. For reliable and factual information, it is up to all of us to dig deeper.

San Diego Chabad Poway shooting conspiracies flying already.

The response time of this conspiracy theory is one of the fasted fastest I've ever seen.

From Live Leak:


Conspiracy theory discussion of the Chabad at Reddit.

The Chabad Mafia including Chabad, Chabad-Lubavitch, or Lubavitch.

I'm not rendering a verdict on the conspiracy theories. That's up for you to decide. I've provided the conspiracy-side in other stories and events. I run them because they are part of the social fabric that is ingrained in our social media. In other words, this info is out there, you may or may not be aware of it. I'm collecting it and passing it on.
