I’m worried about Pleasant Hill. Councilmembers are drafting an ordinance that would allow for the adoption of a map that divides neighborhoods.would cost approximately $100,000. Mayor Tim Flaherty wants a four-district map that divides College Park, Gregory Gardens and Poet’s Corner. Residents want a five-district map that keeps neighborhoods together. It is in the best interest of the mayor to have an ordinance for a four-district map to remain on the City Council.
Instead of devising a way to stop toll-jumpers, so the millions lost are regained, or adding law enforcement, so riders like me aren’t subjected to trashy trains and panhandlers who sleep across two seats night and day, BART is asking for more money. Allowing greedy psychopaths among us to harness this new amalgam is the real danger of AI. The existential threat is us. We are the Moloch in the machine.
