The property owners and lenders haven’t had to take their losses yet (for the most part.) Once everything is revalued based on reasonable rents and CAP rates we will start the cycle anew. Everyone got bailed out in COVID, so this cycle is a little longer.

Here’s a nice Saturday Surprise. I just posted 19 new volcano tissue box covers in my Etsy shop. They are 3D printed scale models made using lidar scans from federally funded USGS projects and my photogrammetry. Thanks to @opentopography.org for organizing the data!

Certain golf course owners would spend all sorts of $ trying to close off that side channel. Not that it would work, but would end up being a ton of disruption.

We typically see trailer parks in that type of flood plain around here. I just hope the golf course decides to roll with it instead of trying to change the flow.

Oregon tried giving homeless youth $1,000 a month with no strings attached. Here’s what happened The program helped 94% of participants secure housing while building financial literacy skills that could break the cycle of homelessness.

Every. Single. Time.

It just works, why can't we implement this on a larger scale?

This is how the right would go about killing off an agency they don’t like, so I am absolutely certain the Dems will eff it up.

NOT next summer mind you, just that if there is one in my lifetime I would rather be warm if I am going to be without power and running water for months.

Happy Cascadia Subduction Zone anniversary to all who celebrate! At this time 326 years ago I would have been in a world of hurt. This is a great piece on how people started listening to the stories handed down over generations to better understand the science of earthquakes.

I set mine up a few days ago on their anniversary. Did it through my employer’s charitable giving program, so they will be double matching my contribution. Wikipedia is what we all thought the internet could be.

Their complete lack of empathy also means that they can’t conceive of someone not thinking the same way as they do.

@jeff-merkley.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov Constituent here telling you, in no uncertain terms, to ABOLISH ICE. Anything less is intolerable. An agency that kills citizens in cold blood and kidnaps kids to use them as bait is not in need of more training, it is in need of defenestration. ABOLISH!
