Back to EpisodesIs There Really a “War on Cars”? Emma Hare Explains!
Description
In this episode, I talk with Emma Hare, legislative aide to Supervisor Myrna Melgar, about the Inner Sunset and transportation policy in San Francisco. If you've ever wondered what a legislative aide actually does, what makes the Inner Sunset unique, and the so-called “war on cars," this episode is for you.
We also talk about including two transit funding measures expected on the November 2026 ballot that could shape public transit funding.
Whether you take transit, drive, bike, or walk, these upcoming measures will influence how the Bay Area moves and how we pay for it.
