I dunno, bog-standard practical jokes just don't mean anything anymore in the face of things like "burning 300 mil on a pointless recall attempt" or "cheating a reality TV show host into the presidency out of nothing more than petty spite" It'd be more effective to just set the building itself on fire and run away

It's also grossly misleading. We did not just eliminate single-family housing. From the CA Senate: "At the end of the day, if local governments do not allow people to build homes in an area, then the bill does not apply." So it's a step in the right direction, but it is not such a radical change. Looking at SB10, yeah it's just streamlining upzoning for transit-rich areas. But again, the locality has to adopt a resolution to take up the plan. It's not forcing anything on anyone. E: ah, just saw that I missed the word “zoning” in the tweet.

Yeah the bill basically says that if you zone for residential, you cannot restrict lots to SFH's. But local government could in theory get around it by just not zoning for residential at all. Also at Newsom letting it sit on his desk until the second he survives the recall, then signing it. Realpolitik at its finest, gotta respect the hustle.

Marin surprisingly has a ton getting built near the SMART. There is a ton of new townhomes and apartments being planned or already under construction by the stops. If only this drat train connected somewhere, I wish they could just run it down the 101 to San Francisco. It would be so much better than driving to the city

Hell yeah build more poo poo on land that will inevitably not have reliable access to water by 2030 and not address that problem at all. Empty luxury units probably don’t consume that much water, so maybe it’s no big deal.

e. ^^^ I agree, I'm not saying it's a bad thing he signed it at all, and I'm glad he did. It's just funny because it's more of Newsom's completely blatant politicking. Yeah we've been over this to death itt, even knowing California is going to continue to get a lot more dry going forward there's plenty of water to go around but: 1. The state's archaic water laws that allow for farmers to extract more water than an entire metro area uses for functionally nothing need to be modernized. 2. There needs to be a major reduction in water intensive cash crops. Almonds get a lot of the flak and we should definitely pull back somewhat on them but California is actually one of the few ideal places in the world to grow them. poo poo like alfalfa and rice has no business being grown here though. 3. Kick Nestle out of the loving state. Seriously those motherfuckers drain almost a billion gallons of water a year at almost no cost to shove into bottles and sell back to us as Arrowhead "spring water". That we're still putting up with these shitheads and their 150+ year old claim to our water is patently absurd. Sydin fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Sep 17, 2021 |

I'm sure California has a plan for the water problems, just like there's a plan for dealing the towns that will be incinerated by wildfires every year, and how to house and help those people. Not like we can just ignore all these problems and hope they go away, right?

If regions don't establish a GSA with a sustainability plan I believe the state steps in (kind of like when the state steps in to manage a school or school district) and manages it for them.

H.P. Hovercraft posted:yeah palo alto is simply going to continue aggressively banning anything new being built within sight of caltrain the city framed the plan as a response to state guidelines calling for a specific amount of added housing to meet estimated population growth. not sure how accurate that is, but it was encouraging to see the state providing cover to a receptive city council of course, the development plan left SFH neighborhoods alone and concentrated the added density in the downtown and industrial areas. that's where transit and jobs are located so there's some logic to it, but I'm sure the main reason to appease the NIMBYs

Gavbot just signed another awesome bill. When it comes into effect, you won't be able to put the "chasing arrows" recyclable triangle on your plastic unless it's regularly recycled in California. No more triangle-7, which looks like recyclable, but actually means "Nobody anyplace recycles this." In practice, most places can only cycle 1 and 2. Needless to say, the packaging industry is unhappy.

Have you all heard about horseshoe theo- *I collapse as someone rightfully hurls a brick at my head* In election news, the turnout looks sort of miserable. It's going to tick up over the next couple weeks as votes trickle in, but it seems like a lot of people just didn't bother. Current count on the SOS website has it at 43.6%, which is the lowest since the 2014 gubernatorial race. Part of that might be that registration is up, so you have a lot of people who got auto-registered but didn't let that break their not-voting streak, but it seems like the special election didn't generate as much interest as one might have expected. Obviously there are a million factors at play, but at the very least mailing everyone ballots doesn't seem to work as a magic bullet for increasing interest in actually filling those ballots out.
