i wasn't sure what the inland empire was (because :canada:) so i looked it up.

quote:

Air pollution, or suspended particulate matter locally generated from the increased number of automobiles in the area, from point sources such as factories, dust carried into the air by construction activity, and the contribution of similar pollutants from the Los Angeles area has regularly caused the Inland Empire to be at, or near, the bottom of many air quality ratings.

...

Water pollution has also been found in the Santa Ana River and Cajon wash, and pollutants from the March Air Reserve Base and Stringfellow Acid Pits have contaminated groundwater in parts of Riverside County.

that sounds great.

the inland empire comprises am area larger than a lot of US states so there's a lot of good and bad areas

but yeah the air quality is horrible. at least houses drop to 1/3 what they are in Orange County over you cross the county line

glad I live in a small city where bicycles don't get picked clean by default. all the more reason to ride a scrub tier bike and chuck the lights in a backpack I guess.

its boggling to me that these people are operating under some kind of hosed up delusion that paying for street parking has some sort of supply and demand component where price dictates parking duration, whereas in reality its just an unavoidable city-living tax that sucks rear end. oh, parking rate went up, guess i'll truncate my visit to the hardware store, or optician. (2 examples of 2 inelastic places i goto where i pay street parking)

it seems like it wouldn't, but empirically, it really really does. demand-based pricing helps a ton.

the high cost of free parking is a cool book on this subject with actual empirical studies and poo poo
