As if LinkedIn wasn't already the saddest social media network, they're now letting Uber executives promote their sad bullshit takes on Proposition L. No political disclaimers needed there I guess. A very convenient way to dump a few hundred thousand dollars without any transparency.

Why are we #YesOnL in the upcoming San Francisco election? It will prevent public transit cuts and improve transit access for people with disabilities, seniors, youth, students, and people with low income.

Check out all our proposition endorsements for the November 5, 2024 election at https://lwvsf.org/ballot-recommendations, and then #VoteWithTheLeague.

Vote YES on Proposition L!

League of Women Voters of San Francisco. Yes on Proposition L. This would generate much-needed funds for public transit through a reasonable business tax on rideshare and driverless car companies like Uber, Lyft, and Waymo. This is not a tax on individual rides, but on the revenue of these businesses. Prop L will prevent many cuts to Muni services and routes. Vote through November 5, 2024.

Of course PropM is intended to reduce tax burdens on small business - which is why it doesn't want L "...which would increase taxes on Waymo, Lyft and Uber to fund Muni," to take effect. Waymo is a subsidiary of Alphabet aka Google, at $2 trillion market cap, and Lyft is very small at only $5 billion.

And, as a pedestrian and bus rider, I regularly see how these companies vehicles contribute to delaying MUNI service - and we certainly don't want better MUNI services. Why if bus travel time and crowding improved, more people might use the bus.

#YesOnPropL #FundTheBus and please, just don't vote on Prop M. If it doesn't get more votes than L, Prop L will take effect. So just leave Prop M options blank.

Done! Some were the usual hold your nose and vote for the least worst, but a surprising number of candidates and propositions had my enthusiastic support.

Edward Wright for BART Board was an easy yes.

As was #YesOnPropK for Ocean Beach Park &
#FundTheBus #YesOnL

And state props 5 and 33 address critical affordable housing issues, so again enthusiastic support

I am shocked, shocked to find that the VC henchlings who run #GrowSF are coming out against Prop L in their latest voting guide.

For years #Lyft and #Uber ran at heavy losses providing transportation to the public at artificially low prices, using millions and millions of dollars in venture capital to undercut public-funded transit like #MUNI and #BART.

It is time for them to pay their fair share.

Vote YES on L to #FundTheBus! #CommunityTransitAct

Permanent new tax for
temporary budget deficit.
Raises prices on rideshare lik
Lyft and Uber."

Why I am voting No on M - a supposed pro-small business tax measure contains a poison pill to stop San Francisco from increasing taxes on small businesses like Uber ($150 Billion market value), LYFT ($ 5 Billion), and Waymo (part of Alphabet, aka Google, $2 TRILLION market cap). Yes we must protect these small, multi-billion companies from paying their #fare share of transportation costs in SF
