I disagree. Tying all press to government funding is the surest way to captured media by the ruling party. If journalists are not independent then they are not a check against power.

That’s the point. It’s shifting from gotcha pricing to transparent pricing.

What issues? That’s so vague…

Market is awesome now. I’ve started commuting on bike to Caltrain at 4th and King. I know we have bike lanes on 5th (admittedly I don’t know how you’d do it otherwise), but that stretch from Market to King just feels sketchy. Especially with the highway on/off ramps. Every time there is someone running a red light to get onto 5th/Harrison or the cars are backed up getting into the highway so you have to swirve into the oncoming lane.
