@cityofsacramento, using potholes as pitfalls for the civically-inclined is so very rude.

"What happens in the room matters more than what the building cost."

[Michael Strong @flowidealism]

When I moved from a no-name school in rural Minnesota to a wealthy school in Aspen, I transferred into honors chemistry.

My old regular class was well ahead of their honors class.

In education, we assume expensive means better. A parent can pay dearly for that assumption and still be wrong. What happens in the room matters more than what the building cost.

You can sign some paper promising to repay it w a little bit of interest &, a few days later, a stranger wires millions of $$$ of a bank’s money into your designated account.

That is a miracle, made possible by the rule of law, & we should not take it for granted.

[Moses Kagan @moseskagan]

So refreshing to tour an older building where you can tell, from the proportions of the rooms, the ceiling heights, and the size and positioning of the windows, that the people who built it cared about the experience of the tenants who would ultimately come to live there.

(Note that these choices are generally constrained by zoning and building codes and, in almost all cases, by the economics of the project.)

In Davis, Village Homes has a farm (of sorts), Village Farms is proposed homes.
(does anyone there who writes about either one bother to disambiguate?)

Sacramento served the same original function as Denver: "Ah, you guys are really going to trek into those mountains? Well hey, here's a bunch of stuff you should buy first..."

[M. Nolan Gray 🥑 @mnolangray]

I think the YIMBY answer would be: living in townhouse or a condominium within walking/bicycling distance of great jobs, parks, friends, food, and entertainment is very clearly just as appealing for many people, as evinced by prices, hence why we should allow a lot more of it.

(also true of twitter come to think of it. sigh.)

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

Had an interesting almost-conversation* at chain diner in Sac valley this morning.

*was given the opportunity to talk, though not to get substantive responses

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

(grok answers are meh. "Way better in theory than in practice" strikes me as likely.)

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

"Restorative justice": how does it differ from Old Testament justice? If actually restorative, wouldn't that be *more* extreme than O.T.? ("now you put that eye back.").
What are arguments (incl from experience) against it?

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

(not directly downtown, it was among big trees, lawns, government buildings.)

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

Why did/does downtown Sacramento have a nursing home for dementia patients downtown? Why, when I went to stand in the outdoor food line at Costco, was a crew of them bused in to stand in line around me?
Mafia town? SEIU?

ECOS Phone number doesn't work? 916-444-0022

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

Is anyone able to reach @ecosacramento by phone? Mine won't ring when I dial their number, and email might be being intercepted ( garbled)

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

@CorieWhalen And yet, also, ?

@Noahpinion Now do journalism about communications.

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

Not Sacramento: It would be good if @MayorKWilson of Portland OR could talk to @MosesKagan of southern California about how to increase the housing supply in Portland.

What would the immune system against such hijackings look like?

[Sac Cityzen @SacCityZen]

How would you hijack a subculture that holds events? Do we see this going on?
