Understood. It’s speculation, of course. But it’d be curious if any have published the speculation, especially when (and if) it becomes statute.

It’d be interesting to read an analysis of how the currently proposed FEMA Act will and will not dovetail with the current administration’s governing of FEMA.

Ha. We had one like that. It got super waterlogged and rotten. Felling hinge was like 1/3 of the diameter cuz the wood was so rotten.

That snag looks sus

In psps/genie/propane/well pump land: the decision about transitioning off propane has included wattage requirements for other appliances. We recently bought a new propane stove after realizing the genie upgrade that we’d need to power an electric/induction oven/range.

Skimming. I read USFS vs private lands for ignition locations, but isn’t the analysis USFS vs all other lands? Or did they extract/mask/remove all other public lands that are not USFS (federal, state, local) from the analysis?

*need to complete additional CEQA compliance [in order to build anything]….
