New post! Sometimes commonsense is right: let talented scientists/inventors migrate to where the science and invention is happening, and their output of science and innovation... goes way up!

The bottom-feeding scammers and Q-pilled conspiracy nuts don’t necessarily have the same fanatical intransigence on boring policy issues.
Deals got done last congress, this one should take a stab at tax reform. Worst case is nothing happens.

city of berkeley was forced to approve this project after 19 months due to state law limiting the number of meetings on a project at 5
the original proposal from 2012 was approved in 2015 after 37 meetings. this version had 302 units; in 2023 we are down to 187. great outcome?

uk's only housing element watchdog@s_damerdji
Mountain View staff will tell us they don't have the bandwidth to process gatekeeper requests, to implement fair housing programs that council asks for, or even have enough time to hire & train enough people to fill their vacancies.
Meanwhile, they have time for this.

here's a fun update: the zoning administrator now wants to put a bond on the project that forces us to change the front doors after the project is complete because she hates the doors we chose. again, not even remotely kidding. does anyone know who i can talk to in mountain view? https://t.co/bHZ1kPk4C0
