California really needs to work on that homelessness problem. Or maybe at least acknowledge it as a problem.

Homeless people hang out at the library. I ha g out on the street because.

Can't wait for someone to start paying day rates on parking spaces and set up micro homes.

Oh wait they do that already. The amount of van lifers on the streets of Los Angeles is incredible.

setting up planters and benches in a parking space to basically make a mini park that can comfortably serve at least like six people was a thing that people were doing a lot a few years ago to make a statement of the absurd amount of space that cities gave up to serve cars and how just reclaiming some of it into public space would make the city much nicer but then these guys lost the point entirely by postulating the replacement of private parking spaces with private corporate offices

I get that it's another one of those insane attempts to abuse public infrastructure, but what's the purpose of an office without electricity, access to a bathroom, privacy, storage, protection from the elements, and you need to haul away your desk and chair on the hour your time runs out?

it's a publicity stunt to send the message "if cities weren't wasting all this space on parking and other car infrastructure, think of what else we could do with that space instead...like put more offices there"

In 2017, the sheriff’s office in Washington County, Oregon, became the first law enforcement agency to use Rekognition, Amazon’s facial recognition tool. Then, for two day in March 2019, the office granted journalists for The Washington Post access to its squad cars and facilities to observe how the technology was transforming cops’ operations.

What those journalists discovered was that officers were using Rekognition in ways far beyond what Amazon intended, including to identify unconscious suspects, people who refused to identify themselves, dead bodies, and even police sketches of faces — a startling example of how the tech is already being misused by law enforcement in the wild.
