There is much to write about transportation, and housing, in the Sacramento region. I keep track of blog post ideas in a ToDo application called OmniFocus. The list gets longer rather than shorter. Eight days since my last post, and seven days before that. Twenty-three items are on the list. Yow!

I also write for Sacramento Transit Advocates and Riders (STAR) and am now the lead person for the new SacMoves Coalition website. And Week Without Driving Sacramento, my Granite Chief Wilderness blog (though only during Sierra backpacking season), and even my personal blog, which is much neglected. I enjoy writing for all of these blogs, not to mention writing in my personal journal, which I get to a few times a week. But there are a lot of other things in my life besides writing. I walk and bicycle, I dance, mostly contra dancing in the bay area, I go to plays, in Sacramento and San Francisco, I read books (though too little), I watch movies, mostly at home on my computer, I go often to the grocery store (being car free, I walk or bicycle, and so do more frequent trips rather than big shopping trips), I attend both agency meetings and advocacy group meetings, I go to coffee shops to write and read and socialize, and I hang out with my neighborhood cats on my porch. And a lot of other things.

I’m not apologizing for the gaps between posts, or for not writing about what you want to hear about. But I do want to write about what interests or concerns you. So let me know. You can comment on the blog, or email me at allisondan52@gmail.com. If you would like to contribute yourself, let me know what your idea is and I’ll work with you. If you’ve been reading, you will know that I support active transportation and transit, not motor vehicles, and I support housing, of all types and price points. If that is not your passion, look elsewhere, because there are still plenty of voices for cars, and parking, and exclusionary zoning.
