Leperflesh posted:Giving places like modesto and bakersfield some infrastructure and interconnectivity may help to redirect some of the projected growth to those cities rather than just piling more and more into a totally saturated area like the SF bay. I’ve found people on the coasts dramatically underestimate how many people live on the 99 corridor between Bakersfield and Merced. And there’s so much room to expand. Communities like Tulare suddenly look a lot more appealing when you can commute to Fresno or Bakersfield in 20 minutes.

Flight costs will rise when airports hit capacity, and if we ever start properly taxing fuel or doing much about climate change. But it's a fair point, that the HSR is probably going to cost enough that commuting a hundred miles a day on it is only for the quite wealthy. It's not just about daily commutes, though. What if you just needed to go in to work two or three times a month?

Trains and Planes run all over the rest of the world in tandem and people ride both, dunno why that wouldn't be the case here if we had them.

In OC metrolink is like $8 to go anywhere in the county and is almost as fast as just driving. It's also great for going to the bars or a baseball game because you don't have to worry about how you're going to get home.

Excuse my rant but holy hell I am never clicking on another SF Gate link. Every article has an unrelated autoplay video and if you try to close it, it keeps playing and says "closing video" for a couple seconds. Then a larger unclosable version of the video embeds in the body of the article.

 Ah yes, Surely a citizen of a county in the top 20 wealthiest zipcodes has a note worthy take on whether to re-open the economy or not.

He probably owns the truck I saw by the lumber yard with a shitload of Q-ANON stickers. People around here seem to be wearing masks inside or in crowds, but not when hiking. They're reopening some of the parks and trails on Monday, but keeping the super popular ones closed. Trying to encourage people to stay spread out and hike in their own area.

fun fact, marin county does have a few poor areas hidden in the sea of wealthy avocado baron estates, like the canal area of san rafael wheres theres some working class latino people, or marin city, wheres theres public housing with 90% of the county's black residents (like the rest of the bay area black people mostly first arrived during WWII to work in the shipyards, and then got confined to certain areas by redlining and psycho nazi whiteys threatening and attacking them). Tupac used to live in Marin City, he used to hang out with these dudes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRd1mAe_mOo america is a land of contrasts  also lol marin

Have people been directed by the county to wear a mask when exercising/hiking? My county doesn't require it, but does for being indoors or when social distancing isn't possible. Mostly people seem to be doing what they are told around here.

I'm in Sacramento and saw yesterday that the riverfront was completely packed with people splashing about, barbecuing, and hanging out on the sand. I expect us to spike soon.

I bike into my office downtown during the week and there has been people on the riverfront pretty much any day it's not raining, and it's been like that for the past month. They should have just bitten the bullet and closed the parks/beaches in the area.

Well it seems like new cases in the Bay area are decreasing with the peak around April 1st. https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2020/coronavirus-map/ Still a ways from the criteria to allow a lift to SiP, but it's promising.

Also, the public in general is still well in support of Newsom - at least based on a poll from LATimes from May 1. Republicans are actually divided on their support of Newsom while Dems and independents are strong in support. https://www.latimes.com./politics/story/2020-05-01/partisan-split-coronavirus-newsom-approval-poll (Remember the "com." jumps the paywall). Neither of my two posts are really news, but I want to keep it in mind that things are going kinda well, at least well relative to a major economic depression and global pandemic. Like we've fallen off a building and broken a few bones and need some help but at least we're not the guy in Texas or Arkansas that fell on some spikes. I'm trying to be optimistic if you couldn't tell... America Inc. fucked around with this message at 05:22 on May 18, 2020 |

Yeah, look at the steady but slowly decreasing rates of infections in CA compared to places like AZ and TX which are still accelerating and full of people who would be out there protesting today if they didn't flee the state 5 years ago.

I finally got fed up with how unruly my hair was last week and just used an electric razor to shave my head. Took five minutes and a helpful double check from my roommate that I didn't miss any spots on the back of my head. Not trumpeting it as a perfect alternative to a stylish cut or anything but it definitely improved my overall mood to not constantly be fiddling with overgrown hair.  Who knows maybe I'll be ready for a haircut again by the time we're all out of lockdown!
