Vibes? Who knows.

The world we leave to our children and all future generations will be far harsher than the one we have known.

It gets weirder. Apparently this guy Carlisle scrutinized Soto-Martinez for voting no on the resolution that was against SB 79??

I often wonder how I'll ever raise a kid in LA County, if I have one here. Traffic violence has gotten so much worse compared to even when I was a kid in the 2000s.

The prediction market, Kalshi, has the chances of SB 79 passing at 88% kalshi.com/markets/kxca...

This is exactly what I saw during LA's CHIP public comment period last fall. They also had the nerve to cut in front of everyone in the long line out the door just to get into city hall.

Not only does this torpedo billions of dollars of private investments, and thousands of American jobs, but it also means that future industrial policy won’t be effective because firms can’t trust the US government to honor contracts.

The best way to help home buyers is to help renters. And, the best way to help renters is to let a lot more families get mortgages!

Seems like they could override him, it would be the easiest one to do, probably.

I don't know... here's what a geothermal CTO says... bsky.app/profile/mish...

this should've been a no-brainer, imo @aboutdave.bsky.social

Who is whispering what into his ear these days. So weird.

the state leg here did all the right things, passed with zero no and 79 yes votes. Even added prevailing wage requirements. How is he even justifying this? It doesn't even make sense to me.

Newsom returning AB 527 without his signature, this bill would have have created a categorical exemption from CEQA for geothermal exploration. Geothermal developers and energy orgs were very enthusiastic about this bill. Does this mean anything for SB 79? It makes me feel a bit uneasy because...

Extraordinary take.

someone should run a CFD simulation...

Reminds me of the "diversity" of opposition to the CHIP option that touched single family zoning for LA's housing element last fall. As you might know LA did some illegal stuff back then to accommodate this "diverse" demographic and is getting sued for it. It's all so tiresome...

colleague was in switzerland this summer a little after we were - and was talking about all the cat ladders they saw...

i did not know this was a thing...

a new type of single stair!
