@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.

@JetPhotos @flightradar24 Pretty lame. Looks like it was watered down by committee.

@hitheretoughguy @MojoMariner And right after he got married.

@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)

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@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.

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@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

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@theepicmap Inflation adjusted?

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@charuman Very cool. Pretty photos.

We’ve settled in Cascais Portugal, kids enrolled in school here, and we’re enjoying a simplified lifestyle.

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@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.

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@tomaspueyo @simongerman600 Still all comes down to policy decisions.

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@MarinersONTap @JeffPassan is hungry to post something in the dearth of any baseball excitement.

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

And how 8 miles of multi-purpose paths and bridges costs >$1B is besides me. Freeways cost less (maybe, maybe not).

[bowen payson @bowenpayson]

@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

@The_Couch_GM What could you expect in return? Another Mitch Haniger?
