If you're including "within driving radius" sure, but there are vast sections of suburban terribleness that peaks at chipotle especially in the blandest parts of the bay.

I can get you great Mexican in Fairfield (Costa Azul -- make their own tortillas too) of all places, so I don't know.

You said "large swaths" of Northern California have Mexican food no better than Chipotle. Maybe you should define what you mean by "large swath"? There are definitely neighborhoods in the Bay Area (or Sacramento, or LA, or San Diego) that only have lovely Mexican food options, but you'd have a hard time finding an entire city that has absolutely no good Mexican food. Even in many (most?) suburbs.

But if we're talking about in the Bay Area there are many culturally dead suburban cities that have no good mexican. Especially not mexican that is both: tastier, safe, and better for you than Chipotle, which was the original claim about the superiority of the ever present local taqueria.

Oh look, another loving food argument in the California thread Meanwhile, Moonbeam signed the minimum wage bill today. Goes from $8/hr now to $9/hr next summer and $10/hr in 2016. I mean, that is nice, but $10/hr would be great now. My wife works in a school as an aide (working directly with the kids in the classroom) and she barely makes much more than that ($11/hr).

Having the minimum wage be actually livable isn't exactly a mainstream Democratic position.

Man, it always gives me a good chuckle to see how rural areas think they're getting sucked dry by non-real-American moochers who just don't understand what the country really needs, but then they're subsidized by the big cities

Rural (red) states in general take a lot more funding than they give in tax dollars, versus urbanized (blue) states paying more than they receive. Not surprising that it's true on a smaller scale, too. Anyway I just had a 4x4 with onions and it was pretty awesome.

Eh, they'd just strip-mine their natural resources and parcel it out to the highest bidder to avoid footing the higher tax bills they'd face. The county that would come back would be a barren, hollowed-out ecological disaster area that was even more bitter and dependent on people who aren't loving insane.

This reminds me of when Hollywood attempted to secede from Los Angeles* *(they would require use of LA's municipal services for at least 10 years if it were successful).

Millions having been dumped into populous Los Angeles county for roads until everything form cow trails to movie actresses hearts are concrete coated, the state is forced to create a recreation project to woo the voters. The Prison Board announced the convicts would build two artificial lakes, which will be stocked with fish "for fly fisherman only." The convicts will also build a swimming pool, and 250 (count ‘em) camping and picnic sites. Did Klamath ever get its road, or has this historic grievance gone uncorrected?

Humboldt & Mendocino counties are the only ones up there with anything like a population. You guys could run poo poo for a change. State capitol'd probably have to be frickin' Eureka, unfortunately. Unless Jackson county in Oregon got in on this too. Then you might have a problem.

Yeah, West Hollywood was just an irregular piece of county land that became incorporated, although it was usually considered more "lawless" because it was only patrolled by sheriffs (and still is). Hollywood trying to secede was mostly pushed by Scientology because they have some much property around Hollywood, and they wanted much more "direct control" over the area, the actual residents didn't seem to really care. Also, Jackson wouldn't join simply because it is politically divide 50/50 at this point, Ashland would fight it every step of the way. The other countries surrounding Jackson are very conservative though but at this point they need Salem to bail them out due to the timber money running out. Pity there isn't a Oregon thread around here, for a state with a population a 10th of the size of California, it has plenty of its own absurdity.

When you read about abortion these days, the news is mostly about restrictions—new state laws, regulations, and court challenges that aim (depending on your point of view) either to make the procedure safer for women or to put providers out of business. But California is going in the opposite direction, with two bills that could lead to the one of the biggest expansions of access to abortion in the United States since the FDA approved mifepristone, aka the abortion pill, in 2000. http://www.propublica.org/article/california-poised-to-broaden-access-to-abortions

That actually sounds good. It's true, as they say in the article, that most of the historical restrictions on abortion are based on it having been a felony crime--and most of the new restrictions (or requirements, or regulations) are really just about restricting access to it.

I checked this thread to see if anyone was talking about UC Berkeley exploding last night, but I see it hasn't come up yet! UC Berkeley had a simultaneous explosion, blackout, and ammonia leak last night. Read all about it here! Apparently, some vandals were stealing copper wire last week. Somehow this caused the explosion that occurred after a blackout across the UC Berkeley campus. Has there been any history of copper wire stealing in the Bay Area? I would be especially interested in ones that led to explosions.

They stole all of the copper ground rods and copper grounding electrode conductors, supposedly. If they had access to the electrical rooms, which there are some reports that they did, they easily could have also taken copper ground bars inside switchgear. An ungrounded generator may have been the cause of the explosion, but who knows.
