When Kyle Mooney showed up on the field to interview you, and this happened, what did you think was going on?

Hi Bernie,

I gleefully voted for you and strongly believe in your platform. However here in the Bay Area you have, a few times now, endorsed candidates for state office who strongly oppose policies to bring in new high density housing construction. (Specifically Jane Kim and Jovanka Beckles). Job growth has occurred rapidly here but construction of new housing has failed to meet that burden, and the result has been rapidly increasing rents and housing costs, with disastrous results for the working class.

With your endorsements, you've aligned yourself with candidates who support policies that will exacerbate this scarcity.

What is your position on urban housing development, and its role in housing affordability in areas with rapid job growth? Do you support higher residential density in urban areas with low carbon emissions and good public transit? Or should America continue its pattern of suburban sprawl and accompanying auto emissions and habitat loss? If you do support higher density, how do you reconcile that with your endorsements?

The Transbay Transit Center opens next year to bus service but the basement, designed to accommodate Caltrain and High Speed Rail, will sit empty for years. What's the status of the extension to the new station? What connection is there between electrification and the downtown extension project?

When you chose to have Cool Guy make his first appearance from behind a rifle scope, was this a deliberate choice, to show us that the past 5 years have been brutally unkind to Cool Guy? I feel as if it's a nearly poetic rendering of the perseverance of the Cool Guy spirit, that even after becoming an embodiment of envy and bloodlust, he still retains all the same Cool Guy moves.

I'm pretty sure HSR is still going to have potential grade crossings, depending on the final design. They'll just have extremely beefed-up crossing gates.
