I’m actually tempted to start a separate blog about the Delta, except that it would be tricky to maintain two sites. But the “political talking points” are exactly why that series got started in the first place. Even more than transit, water issues get really political, and the facts kind of just get consumed by rhetoric.

Regardless, I very much appreciate the hard work and time that you put into the site – though I might not always comment! :)

Anyway, my guess is that most people reading this site probably also read Streetsblog, so there’s little to be gained from duplicating that content. There have been some more East Bay and regional draft posts brewing, so hopefully those will be unearthed sometime soon. I’ve noticed that the RTP and other regional posts tend to get fewer comments, so thanks for mentioning those. It’s nice to know that those posts aren’t completely boring!

As far as content goes, my selfish inclination is of course towards more East Bay coverage – I usually just skim posts about Market Street or the SF Bike Plan, while I’ll eagerly dissect every word about Pleasant Valley Safeway or the Berkeley Downtown Plan. Of course, I’m sure you have plenty of San Francisco readers who are exactly the opposite.

But the posts I appreciate and learn from the most are those addressing broader regional issues (stimulus funding, SB 375, or the Regional Transportation Plan), which tend to get even less media coverage than local transit projects, as depressing as that is to think about. And of course my favorite thing all year was the incredibly in-depth series on BART to San Jose.

Congratulations on the excellent two years, and keep up the great work!
