@michaeltemkin@ALadyNamedKatie And we got our son a drum set for the holidays. He’s been learning “Seven Nation Army” with his drum teacher. Neighbors love us!!
@michaeltemkin@ALadyNamedKatie My 9 year old’s self curated favorites playlist. Pretty proud of the mix, sans a few here and there, but we try to do a lot of music discovery. That translates to my 3 year old no longer listening to toddler music. That’s a win.

@michaeltemkin@MrMatthewTodd Come visit. We’ll sell you on the idea, but you gotta be ready for the chill life because everything is chill, like the speed of processing anything at all (our immigration application for one)
@michaeltemkin@MrMatthewTodd Remote village? There are aplenty and it’s just waiting for you!!! Portugal has one of the better tax policies for immigrants, especially if you legalize a startup here.
We live in Cascais, a nice Lisbon suburb. It’s like Marin compared to SF, but more of a mosaic of people.
@michaeltemkin@MrMatthewTodd Portugal is pretty fantastic. Good weather (winters are very wet), great fresh and local foods (1L fresh squeezed orange juice 3€), super nice and genuine people, chill pace of life, low/no crime, no guns, and good global/Europe access. Language is surprisingly difficult though
@mnolangray Kinda absurd to think that an architectural plan for an ADU would cost 20-30k. I think that’s an exaggeration. If SF, we paid $4800 for architectural plans for a basement buildout which included new foundations and bringing the house up to earthquake code.
@mnolangray@cayimby Read this article today about a bike path in LA. How are "environmental impact reports" necessary for projects that will will remove dependency on larger environment (aka surrounding roads)? How can this bureaucracy be reformed? https://t.co/D9LLJElpE1
