"The survey’s findings contradict conservative media narratives about transition regret, which suggest that large volumes of trans people detransition because they later regret their transition as a mistake. The survey found that only a small number of people detransition, and the decision is largely due to external factors."

SFMTA is adding left turns back to Valencia at 17th, 21st and 23rd streets with a new phase, which will cut down on time for pedestrian and bike crossings. The word is that Mayor Lurie directly ordered this. Signal modifications are very expensive and that money could have gone to safety or transit priority.
Seems small, but it's wasteful and adds to the "death by a thousand cuts" for Transit First in Lurie's SF.
