Reaching Out

Yesterday, I had the pleasant experience of meeting Jamison, my fellow gay, native Bay Arean, San Francisco urban planning (among other things) afficianado who blogs at Adventures in Urban Living.  Our interests are so much alike, that at first I feared he might be my evil twin, or I his.  We met at Tully's in the Castro (I highly recommend the Mocha Bellacino).  I'm pleased to report that he's much better looking in real life than in the picture on his blog with all the bicycle gear.  But it was his cyclopedic knowledge of policy and planning issues in the Bay Area that I found truly dazzling. We wonked out for over two hours discussing the Market Octavia Plan, the Central Subway his plan for a Folsom Muni Metro line and many other things.  I urge you to go pay Jamison a visit (if you haven't already) and support him with a donation to the AIDS ride.
