@theRealZenz No fan of the piece, but just FYI people with mortgages typically have their taxes paid into an escrow account in monthly installments, and the mortgage servicer pays on their behalf every year. So, it's also spread out.
@theRealZenz Was disappointed to see the staff's rejection of the mixed-use plan. Far as I know, it allows employment just fine, while updating to allow housing. So I don't see the conflict. Am I wrong?
@NickRiccardi 20% of the population cannot qualify as "very, very unusual." "Slightly odd" at best, perhaps. Or, "less than one standard deviation off average in a normal bell curve."
@conorsen@arpitrage@GregorMacdonald We need many fewer EV stations than we needed gas stations. Vast majority of charging is done at home. https://t.co/RDb4k1R472
@JoAnnaScience If you don't need the water for anything (pets, plants), turn it off at the main shutoff. If just pets, leave jugs of water. Some real horror stories of minor leaks that spring in washers/fridge ice dispensers and the massive costs. Also, turn down/off water heater.
@petersagal Oh, come now, Peter, it's the main use of it and has been for a long time. What people call the "correct" use is based on a bad translation and is used mostly in formal logic. https://t.co/lHzrvd9Xi3
@JalbyMD I love that the author lives in LA. Just subjecting himself to his nightmare day in and day out, all so we can learn the truth that cars ruined cities. God bless him.
@JalbyMD The first bit, yeah. Then lent it out to other parking nerds. It’s a great resource but the examples became repetitive. Lots of ways to say that LA is bad at city planning and that parking lots are stupid. But I love having the LA/SF opera hall example in my back pocket now!
@emily_syst My Tower Grove kickball name was "State Street" because I was hardcore enough to live at the intersection of two state streets.*
*nb: I later learned that one, while the name of a state, got its name from other sources 🤷🏼♂️
@NPRinskeep Unfortunately, NPR's wording here doesn't help. How does a drop from (revised) December numbers count as a "surge" or "picking up steam"? These narrative summaries are consistently bad at most media outlets.
