They've tried to recruit me once or twice - it's always...curious how the agency discussions the role/position before disclosing the company

It drives me insane how ppl (and small business owners) believe their is a collective right to free or essentially free parking whilst making it shockingly cost prohibitive to have zoning to allow people to live there. 27k residents in 1960. <33k residents in 2023. Quintessential NIMBYism

This is what democracy looks like:

#TeslaTakedown 5k strong at Rinconada Park throughout the day - and a 7 mile stretch along El Camino from Sunnyvale to Palo Alto. So proud to stand with so many veterans, immigrants, activists and citizens demanding that our voices be heard, that we matter
