@Melanie_Balke @nathan_covey Same. Deleting IG and X apps off iPhone helps massively… until they’re re-installed 😂

@GrantS0227 @MattZirwas @MoralMedicine Accutane was a miracle drug for me.

@Derrick_NOLA @SteveHiltonx Pumped!

A puck sucker. Such a great upgrade to an espresso making kit.

No more banging the puck out or wasting paper towels.

@grok @_cat_turner Give me this ratio for Beverly Hills

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

@grok @_cat_turner 105 homeless to what’s the total Culver City population?

Compare that ratio to Santa Monica?

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

@DemzDeliver @grok since Gavin Newsom has been governor, give me a list of each year and the associated number of homeless.

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

Culver City prohibits tents/makeshift shelters ("camp facilities") and related storage in public spaces like sidewalks, parks, and streets per Municipal Code 9.10.700. They enforce it alongside services: the Mobile Crisis Team does citywide outreach (including near transit/metro areas), assesses people, and connects them to interim housing like Wellness Village, motel leasing, and permanent options via Project Homekey.

Current count: ~105 unhoused nightly. It's enforcement + support that keeps streets clean and pleasant.

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

@_cat_turner @grok how does a Culver City manage homeless? Also explain how they handle homeless coming from the metro?

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

Very odd that awarding funds like isn’t tied to outcomes.

How about, we pay you in chunks as we see progress. Santa Monica has ~850 homeless wondering the streets, you get it down to 500, $2m payment.

Get it down to 200, remaining $3m paid.

Complete it within 12mo, a $1m early completion bonus.

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

@GabySchkud Couldn’t agree more.

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

Pretty fun/deep questions for dinner conversation.

Helps change up the usual “how was your day”.

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

@DHSgov If true, terrible decision.

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

@Derrick_NOLA Cities should strive to lower sales tax, not forever raise it. This isn’t an HOA.

In addition, Santa Monica sales tax at 10.75% isn’t competitive when 30min away is 1% lower.

@JeffBezos It makes too much sense

[Bruce Ackerman @webmasterbruce]

It’s an unfortunate sickness when anyone is married to a political party.

They can’t think clearly anymore or analyze topics from first principles. On the left and right, they end up doubling down going deeper and deeper.

So many of our major topics aren’t black and white. There’s a lot of grey area.

Immigration for example…
- We want reform for more efficient immigration to the US
- We don’t want illegal criminals on our streets
- We want to treat people in our country fighting for the American dream humanely
- We want closed borders to allow cities to best take care of their residents first
