True loving facts. Dudes crowing on the Internet about "California refugees" gentrifying their states all over the place now. It's most noticeable with Texans but the Midwest has them too.

They were in SF acting all dipshitty and they told someone "hey were going to OAKLAND later" as if thats some extreme and crazy thing so then they took a trip to Oakland, stood in front of a bart station in downtown, and then when a black person walked behind them they turned to the camera with a concerned look and said "oakland is scary!"

WHAT THE gently caress https://www.sfgate.com/green/article/Suspect-shipyard-contractor-gets-huge-state-13521866.php?t=f39ca8bb0f quote:The state agency in charge of wildfire cleanup has awarded a record-breaking $250 million contract to the company at the center of San Francisco’s Superfund scandal — an environmental engineering firm that was caught falsifying soil tests and is being sued by the U.S. Justice Department, whistle-blowers and homeowners. How the gently caress is this company still allowed to do business, let alone still get massive government contracts? They completed defrauded the state during the cleanup of Hunter's Point, falsifying testing data and barely doing any of the clean up they were supposed to And somehow, these fucks get another giant loving contract?

Xaris posted:im guessing low bid requirements and that they're desperate for new contracts and probably uber lower balled it Yep, the number of construction and roadwork contracts my agency gives out to companies we know and can demonstrably prove have provided poor or fraudulent work for us in the past because they've somehow managed to remain a certified government contractor and entered the lowest bid is embarrassing. Also yet more proof that "the taxpayer" doesn't know poo poo: significantly less of their tax dollars would be wasted if we were allowed to pay a bit more for a contractor known for quality work, instead of having to take the lowest lowball offer and then spend a ton more on rework, repairs, and litigation. Of course if minimum bid requirements were removed they'd be howling about government waste.

This is a weird tangent, but... Is there any type of grass that is low water/heat hardy enough to bother with? I know the Xeriscaped/desert environs look is in, but just wondering if anything is worth having that doesn't suck water like a Beverly Hills guest house.

Buffalo Grass is a low water option for grass, but it's availability is usually limited. It's not as pretty as normal fescue/rye/bluegrass, but it's the water friendliest lawn option I've heard of.

PG&E tried doing the same thing with Prop 16 in 2010; it would have required a 2/3 majority by voters before a local government could establish a public electricity service. So they tried presenting it as actually enhancing choice, that private utilities are cheaper anyway, etc. The entire proposition was essentially bankrolled by PG&E. It didn't pass (52% No), in part because PG&E underestimated just how much people loving hate them:   The inland counties are amusing, in particular.

drat, no transport funding unless cities hit their new housing requirements. That’s a pretty big stick. ‘If you don’t build enough new housing, Gavin Newsom will gently caress your spouse (you know he could) and kill your dog.”
