The question, @PaulKrugman writes, "isn’t why 'America' has failed to deal effectively with the pandemic. It’s why the G.O.P. has in effect allied itself with the coronavirus." nyti.ms/389eTsE

What are the odds that a newly constructed studio ADU in Palo Alto would rent for less than $2725.25 or a one bedroom for less than $3115.75 ? I'd expect a good bit of rental availability in Palo Alto at those prices, but not sure if any new construction would hit them.

Also it doesn't seem like it's OK that the only way Palo Alto hit the half-cycle goal for its above-moderate-income RHNA target was by counting everything market-rate as affordable only to those with above-moderate incomes. If it's true, it's not good.

@hober got GitHub actions auto-running of bikeshed working for at least one TAG spec, and filed github.com/tabatkins/bikeshe… on improving the process

It's also relevant to things like the risk of allowing international travelers to come from a place. What matters there is mostly the chance that an individual traveler is infected now, not the trends where they're coming from.
That graph a lot about southern California, but not a lot about northern California.
More to the main question: how risk-averse people are depends on the actual risk, so higher R seems more likely when the risk is low.
And I'd like to learn about relative risk between places.

Does anyone know of a reliable map of COVID-19 cases per capita in the United States (by state, county, or preferably both) that were diagnosed within the last N days (perhaps N=14 like the LA Times's California maps, but I'm not picky), to show how bad things are now-ish?

To give a real example (with data I happen to have handy): In the June 5, 2018 mayor's race in San Francisco, when it was "100% reporting" at the end of election night, there were 150740 votes cast (Leno winning). In final results, there were 251032 votes cast (Breed won).

Kou, from last night: youtube.com/Ppxzb6mYnFE?t=3870
"it's rental housing"
(context was a discussion of a parcel where the developer could build an office building by right, but is asking the city to let them *also* squeeze in a 187-unit apartment building)

I have first-hand experience in two disparate topics:
1. Epidemic management
2. How they count things in Florida.
This is the first time both have been simultaneously relevant, and I can tell you, this is NOT GOOD.

It's difficult to say this as someone who generally believes in govt’s ability to help, but @CA_EDD is failing CA.
I have done just about everything I know how to do as a public official to make things work, but my colleagues, my staff, my constituents & I are at our wits' end.

If you look around the Google Maps satellite view at goo.gl/maps/ah232nrrDf9oUeDM… you can clearly see some underground parking entrances and exits (sometimes distinct!) from the ring road looping around the buildings.

My new post: soot is the top environmental health threat in the US & it disproportionately targets black communities. Despite the unanimous recommendation of scientists, Trump’s EPA has refused to tighten soot standards. It is structural racism in action. vox.com/energy-and-environme…

Kentucky cutting number of polling places for Tuesday’s primary from 3700 to 200
There will be one polling place for 616,000 registered voters in Louisville’s Jefferson County, where half state’s black voters live
This is going to be a disaster

I think omitting the background color is at least as important. (A text color change would make it look less like distinct UI.)
