A new California law making it easier for developers to build multistory apartment buildings near major commuter stops has triggered fierce opposition from Los Angeles and other coastal cities.

California Wants to Make It Easier to Build Housing. Los Angeles Objects.

Gov. Newsom Friday signed a bill that will make it easier to build apartment buildings. Cities like Los Angeles fear a loss of control.

To put it another way: A subscription to BP costs a dollar more per month than the amount Apple+ and Disney+ *increased* their monthly rates in October. It's ridiculously cheap and you get to support great independent baseball writing. Give it a shot.

I think a lot of it is fueled by "how do you come back from that?" and probably informed by his unsteadiness before then, but once you think it through it basically can't happen just for the sake of happening

I think they'll do work but I'm not sure there's a big pivot to make. Probably keeping Schwarber no matter what. Ranger probably gone because of Painter/Taijuan hanging around, and Luzardo developing so much they try to extend him. Castellanos, maybe Bohm gone. Need to develop better relievers

I think it's concerning that Harper seems to get bullied by fastballs but generally I think this series is way different than the Mets/DBacks series. The Dodgers have an incredible starting staff, and it all might be different if Bader doesn't get hurt

Sure, but they don't do anything to get the Sanchez call to go their way, or the weird check swing stuff from tonight

They gotta do a couple things to the roster but good lord, saying "I knew it was gonna happen" doesn't make you a savant, it makes you a chud

Phillies didn't collapse, they lost on coin flip shit to a team everyone said was ruining the sport 9 months ago because they were getting so many talented players

Genuinely want nothing more, sports wise, than every Philly fan to take their loser energy and toss it into the Schuylkill or commit the rest of their uncritical super soaker style posting life on hold with WIP while Herb gets the midday time slot
