In the SF Bay Area, just having guaranteed (i.e., without low probability lottery or multi-year waitlist) childcare would be huge, never mind free.

One of the 7 (!) Senators in that seat between Knowland (1945-1959) and Feinstein (1992-present). Longest serving of those 7 was Wilson (8 years).

I voted "[Something else]" to indicate that I say WHAT-wuh-gee.
There still hasn't been a presidential impeachment when peaches were in season in the United States. 🍑 (Feb-May 1868, Dec 1998 - Feb 1999, Dec 2019 - Feb 2020, Jan 2021)

Though the article's claim that the "entire neighborhood" is zoned for single-family homes is not quite right -- there's a substantial area of RMD just to the east. (RMD and R-2 are almost the same -- duplex zoning -- except for different (MF/SF) comp plan designations.)

At least that's illegal in RM-20/RM-30/RM-40 if it violates the minimum unit density (see codelibrary.amlegal.com/code… Table 2, including footnote 8). (This was from the 2018 Housing Work Plan ordinance, passed by council on 2019-04-01.)

California probably won't be on fire until the summer.

Are timezones really that bad if you limit yourself to post-1970 and exclude the cases where summer time changes depend on actual physical sightings of the new moon?😜

nitter.vloup.ch/emptywheel/statu… implies that the governor of Maryland wasn't allowed to send in the Maryland National Guard because it wasn't approved by the federal government...
Larry Hogan wasn't permitted to send National Guard either. This was a deliberate attempt to leave the capital unguarded. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
Yeah, floor plans are at services2.hdb.gov.sg/mnh/vt/… . 2 room is 1br, 3 room is 2br, 4 room is 3br.
You should collect signatures for a proposition to make the maximum ratio of lot size to floor area 0.3:1. 😜

I think that construction is renovation, not new construction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schles… says the station opened in 1902!

Is there a place where a single stop extension would be particularly valuable?
1
Replying to @khuey_
The east end connects to a roughly-parallel S-Bahn line at Warschauer Straße; the west end is unconnected but I think any sensible extension would be more than one stop.
Replying to @khuey_ @nattokirai
One additional stop would be any stop, since it isn't open yet. Also see
Which one of these rail or airport projects will open *last*?

Which single stop subway line extension do you want the most?

Two of them were in state legislatures rather than the US Congress. (And Letlow wasn't in the US Congress *yet*...)

I wrote the list, and the Boston/Santiago one still surprises me. I could totally understand Miami being west of Santiago, but Boston?

Or to put it another way, Cape York, the northern tip of the Australian mainland, is closer to the equator (10.687°) than the northern tip of the Venezuelan mainland (12.197°).
