I don’t usually find conversations on this topic productive in an online forum but I will just put it out there that abysmal public transit was the biggest reason I worried about moving back to New Mexico. Nob Hill’s access to transit was one of the biggest reasons I moved to this neighborhood in the first place and I take ART downtown and to Uptown pretty regularly.
City planning and transit are obviously complicated issues and we can have different opinions but if people are hearing that ART is ruining our community, I think it’s also important to note that it’s a significant asset to some of your neighbors and a big reason we’re here in the first place. I love seeing the bus coming through the nob hill so frequently, I love not being dependent on a car to get to fun places and I’m really happy to be able to make a climate conscious decision by supporting transit.
I get it’s not black and white, but it’s also not all downsides for all of us.
