BART is irrelevant to electrification of the 38 Route. I did not find anything on SPUR's webpage opposing electrification of the 38 Geary.

Why would a "bleeding heart" oppose electrification of the 38 Route?

Again, if you really want the 38 Geary to be electrified then move into The City and organize Geary Boulevard's residents and businesses for that project. A Geary Boulevard coalition of residents and businesses could pressure San Francisco's politicians and the MTC to make this investment (assuming that it is a technically feasible and responsible action*).

My question to you is why do you avoid addressing my suggestion of moving to The City and organizing the Geary Boulevard's residents to push for electrification of the 38?

* By the way, can you please provide a link to a study supporting your view that electrification of the 38 Geary is a wise action?
