Well, you could start with not letting your entire metro turn into a lawless hellhole and maybe make sure people pay for their trips. They used to do that a decade or so ago.

From the post:

>Two state senators have set in motion the Bay Area’s master plan to save public transit, with legislation to authorize a sales tax measure in up to five counties. The bill that Sens. Scott Wiener and Jesse Arreguín introduced on Monday has sweeping aspirations. By enabling leaders in San Francisco, Alameda and Contra Costa counties to place a measure on the ballot in November 2026 — with options for San Mateo and Santa Clara counties to join in — their Connect Bay Area Act (SB63) aims to prevent the near-total erosion of BART and Muni.

When you steal money meant for local taxpayers and give it to illegals, you get this.

When you turn a blind eye to fare jumping, fare evasion, you get this.

There's a concept called Hauser's law that states that taxes can only go up to about 17% before pushback occurs. This means people will thwart paying more.

I'll keep an eye out on this. Commiefornia is on an implosion tract.
