SB 405 introduced by Sen. Cortese to require for the 7th cycle housing element that the planning agency notify the owner of a site included in sites inventory. If owner doesn't intend to develop at least 80% of the number of units indicated, the site cannot be included. #CALeg

China is scaring and alienating pretty much all of Southeast Asia by demanding sovereignty over the South China Sea. Big unforced error. It shows the disdain with which Chinese leaders view Southeast Asian countries.

"Legitimacy is not solely, not even primarily, a product of the procedures that agencies follow. Legitimacy arises, more generally, from the perception that government is capable, informed, prompt, responsive and fair."

Tesla has seriously messed up here IMHO. They could have either adopted or beaten CCS a decade ago, but now they'll fall way behind and make their drivers use adapters everywhere, unless they seriously change course.

Senior White House officials asked Elon Musk during a private meeting last month for Tesla to make its extensive charging network available for use by other electric vehicles, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting. https://t.co/MiEJsPOYd0
