So let me get this straight. The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019. He didn’t die until August 10. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

NIMBYs!

Sounds like anyone involved in the pursuit of bringing bad actors to justice will be so fatigued that they will be in a multi-year court-induced coma.

I read it, and the impression it gave me is to hold low confidence in the powers of the courts.

But Ian, office *is* housing!

Islamic Republic security forces in Iran run over protestors.

The American road: big crown + curb-and-gutter system efficiently moves stormwater while creating the visual hierarchy: road > parking > sidewalk (optional). It's remarkably effective for its intended purpose: moving cars and water.

This is the law firm that petitioned for the removal of the bike lanes because bike lanes violated due process, like ICE agents made of paint.

See something, say something!

I think it’s reasonable to expect that 100 years from now labor will still be a majority of construction costs 😂 Not sure about absolute $/sqft construction costs!

Over 100 years that is a lot of compounding interest. I’d expect the premium to be lower, maybe 10-20%. But i’m not an actuary!

Sir/madame: you are telling BlueSky this, but have you first told city public works/councilmember? Priorities!! 😂

$100,000-$200,000.

After a month that had already seen seven people lose their lives riding a bicycle in Southern California...

Forgetting you said that!

I simply like burritos & pad thai, what can I say!

We are trying, hard. This is a post-WWII suburb, 95% of it is zoned for single family homes.

Probably ~100. There were ~50 public commenters on the main ticket item

Next up is @cupcakerobot.bsky.social! She drags the city for ignoring its fiscal obligations (we're facing a $10-$15M deficit) and that spending money to undo safety infrastructure is unwise, and that it could jeopardize future funding measures.

Happy Monday, folks! I’m at San Mateo City Hall tonight, where the council is set to consider spending several million dollars to rip out bike lanes installed in 2022 in favor of more parking spots for cars.

Yes, really. 🧵

Californian politicians, delivering the goods. Boomers: “Why’s our birth rate falling?!”

“They are literally lighting your money on fire”

YES!

Rafat is also one of the key hold outs on keeping a parklet on 3rd. He needs our patronage/support.
