It’s a balm

Here’s one on the west coast: earthfuneral.com

Same goes for climate liabilities

Thank you for articulating this. Also dealing with mucinous adenocarcinoma (stage 4 lung cancer) and trying to stay focused on experiencing moments of joy and being of service. Your words are appreciated and you have my gratitude.

There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it.

Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.

Increase the park space at the same time and you'd really have something.

I'd attend that! Love the game. Pre-ordered it and have played a dozen times over the past year, but I feel like there are nuances to the rules that I still may be missing.

Except downzoning to reclaim open spaces for say parks or floodplains is often just as critically necessary as housing. Especially if you care about public health and climate change.

"maybe it'll be better this time"

Yep.

Mine says bikes are not allowed because they're bait for thieves, and it encourages break-ins to the garage. And a storage unit for said bike is a fire risk.

I live in LA and I can walk to all of those as well as:
Farmers Market
Locally famous hiking trail
Trader Joe's
Re_ grocery
Peet's
Dentist
Chiro
Pilates
UPS
Bookstore
3 good vegan restaurants
...and more.

Chose this neighborhood ~ 30 years ago for this reason.

IIRC they passed state legislation to facilitate buyouts in wealthy coastal communities, but we can’t have the same for low income inland communities with high pluvial flood risk 🙄
