Please require MUNI drivers to call Security when passengers display unruly behavior, enabling Security personnel to remove them from the trains.  (no criminal charges needed, just removal)  Without this requirement, riding MUNI can be unpleasant, even frightening and surely prevents many people from taking public transportation.

I heard that big chain stores will be banned on Bernal Heights. What is going on with this unwanted Home Depot. The site looks terrible after so many years of been neglected. Can we just have a nice facility there instead. How about a nice Ice Hockey ring with a sports bar on top, our own SF Hockey team, a sport facility for all (children and adults) and for all of the children in the area and  keep them active and out of trouble.

Not a solution but just a happy comment. My daughter Emma (12 years old) posted an idea on taxi cab and how we should have Hybrids in the city. Well she has seen some of them around and is very happy about it as she thinks that it was her idea and that she did make a difference. Thank you.

Tell that to Ivan whatever.

The current bail out of the sub-prime mortgages is unfair to the rest of the population, who are having to suffer because of the ignorance of a few.  Instead, we should allow all individuals to write off all financial losses on our taxes.  This would be fair to everyone.  Today, we can only write off losses against gains.  But allowing all losses to be written off even without gains, would allow the sub-prime mortgages losses to be written off by individuals but not the mortgage companies.  Mortgage companies took the risks and approved the sub-prime losses.  Hence, the mortgage companies Read more »

Current pricing for monthly bus pass is $45 and current one-time use of bus is $1.50.  Let's decrease the monthly pass to $25, but increase the one-time use fee to $2.00.  This will, I think, get the people who just get on the bus without paying, to pay for the lower one time fee.  This will also increase revenues from tourists.  Note that no public transit system is as efficient as Japan's, bu they pay about double or more what we pay.  For instance: A bus ride is based on how far you go, so 50 min bus ride may Read more »

Don't give Illegals ID cards, make them go thru the proper channels.

Hello Mayor Newsom,

Have you ever considered having TSA style locks placed on the blue recycling bins in San Francisco? I think this would help a lot with the homeless problem (particularly at the recycling center in GG park) and also help to protect people from identity theft.

The locks could have two keys one for the bin user and another general key for the waste management workers.

The money the city saves not having to pay for bottles & cans that are stolen out of recycling bins would probably pay for the locks Read more »

1.  LGBT Rights - Try LGBT essay topics in curriculum.  They can be diced up decently with few objections.

2. Gansta Rap - Encourage Anti-Gangsta Rap.  It can sound just as good.

Too many accidents at Sunset Blvd and Quintara. There are 3 bus stops. There is a high school at the intersection, a middle school 2 blocks away and an elementary school 2 blocks away. There were 2 accidents over the weekend. A light pole was demolished in the last 2 months. We need a signal light, or at least a school crossing light for pedestrians when crossing. Please make a change before someone is killed. You should not have to RUN across the street to beat the speeding traffic! Thank you.

If you can close the airport because of weather, why not close San Francisco Bay for bad weather. No ships can move until fog lifts !
