Caltrans has always kept 24 and 680 nice through Lamorinda and Danville. 880 is a mess.

All over the Bay Area our state government is stepping up!

Remember all the brouhaha about Warren blocking the Jetblue-Spirit merger? Well that merger could have been fatal to Jetblue, which is now on the brink, thanks to Trump pushing Bibi's War.

San Francisco Chronicle yesterday: "When some of the most aggressive anti-pollution appliance measures begin next year, Bay Area homeowners will need to spend thousands of dollars more for water heater replacements."

I remember one particular poster repeatedly showing their political bias and bashing the Biden Administration for blocking the JetBlue/Spirit merger.

Spirit was in such bad shape that the Trump Administration didn't even want to save it.

Rumors of a BK filing are most likely false.
But anyone thinking that Spirit would have "helped" JetBlue in a combined merger has no clue about the issues plaguing the Airline Industry.

Really unhelpful, they should have at least made sure that new installations follow these rules and grandfathered older ones, which will eventually have to be replaced.

There is talk about a possible exemption.
The Bay Area Air District meets today to discuss.

A similar effort to phase out gas water heaters in SoCal stalled last year, when the South Coast Air Quality Management District voted to reject the new rules given the cost concerns to homeowners.

Bay Area may soften landmark gas appliance rules with new exemptions

Replacing a broken water heater in the Bay Area is about to get vastly more expensive

What we certainly do know is that blocking the Jet Blue acquisition of Spirit was certainly contrary to their goal of ensuring price competitive and preventing a monopoly. Spirit just declared bankruptcy, and it appears Jet Blue is in trouble as well. We absolutely do not know if they would be doing better had the merger not been blocked by pocahantas and sleepy joe. They absolutely could be, despite fuel prices rising to about the same level they were during the biden administration.

NG is "clean" fuel, but they want utopia. Putting everything in the electrical basket and not allowing free choice is ridiculous. If it wasn't a religion, they'd at least construct more reactors at Diablo Canyon per its original design. Another move to harm working people.

Why do Trump's economic policies hurt the poor more than anyone else bro?
Why are we exporting 61% of our crude oil?

Tariffs are a regressive tax.
High fuel prices are regressive as well.

Your boy Trump sure knows how to crush the lower and middle income class.

MAGA!

I remember a poster here for the last four years who ridiculed others by responding with the statement that the president doesn't control gas prices.

His post is not accurate.

If the rule were to go thru, the rule to ban the sale and installation of all gas-burning furnaces would start Jan. 1st, 2029, followed by a ban on gas-powered thankless water heaters Jan 1st, 2031.

Just the facts.
