The sight of a driver approaching a crosswalk at an intersection is shown, depicting how cars stopped or parked at the curb near the crosswalk block their view of pedestrians who are about to cross the street. Below, After AB 413, depicts a red curb with no stopping designations near the crosswalk, which allows for a clear and unobstructed sight line for the driver to see the pedestrians about to cross the street.](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.substack.com%2Fmedia%2FFoAfcgBaQAALnNw.jpg)
Alex Lee has been introducing absolutely amazing bills, I like this one too. Even better would be if they'd pay for bulb-outs or bollards to physically block cars from parking in those spaces, rather than just red paint, but it's a start.

This is great news and hard to overstate, it's also not supposed to be possible, here's a short thread about the way all economic indicators have bounced around in the 2020s. Also, the bureau of labor statistics updated their numbers, and there are a million more people in the US than they thought.

• I just mentioned spy balloons the other day, there's a long thread about a Chinese spy balloon floating around US airspace. Key point though: "it does not create significant value added over and above what the PRC is likely able to collect through things like satellites in Low Earth Orbit."
• Great thread about scaling up production of things generally, but then gets into how it applies to the difficultiies of building nuclear power plants. Here's an Ars Technica article on the same subject.
