Is this a side effect of the algorithm used to scatter the points for multi-unit buildings? That is, is this a small number of multi-unit buildings scattered over all of some tracts, but not others? (Some large buildings were developed along the river before and after 2000-2010.)

What happens to all the plastic you think you've recycled? The answer isn't pretty. These are the countries paying the price of America's plastic addiction

We found that across the West, 526 places have a higher wildfire potential than Paradise, where the Camp Fire burned last November. Fire on a landscape is natural, but it killing 85 people is not. So we analyzed human factors that made the blaze deadly.

On the other hand, if I want to travel further for better Chinese food I'd go to:
- Classic Guilin Rice Noodles (Cupertino/San José border)
- Full House Dumpling (Taiwanese, Fremont)
- wonderful (Hunan-style, Millbrae)
Less knowledge of other cuisines lately...

Food I'd recommend in Palo Alto:
- Taverna (Greek, downtown, reservations req'd)
- Ramen Nagi (downtown, wait req'd)
- Taste (Sichuan & Beijing-style, downtown)
- Chef Zhao (Shanghai-style, Embarcadero & 101, a bit hit-or-miss)
- So Gong Dong Tofu House (Korean, El Camino)

My favorite museum is probably the Musée Picasso, which is also in a great neighborhood to walk around (esp. south of the museum)

Trains are good, realize there's basically 5 levels of train (with last 3 leaving from the major train stations):
- Metro
- RER (faster than metro)
- Transilien (Ile-de-France region's trains)
- trains from other regions that go to paris
- national trains (Intercités, TGV)

- buy bread from a bakery that has a line (locals) out the door at 7:30am on a Sunday
- many fantastic day trips outside Paris. Versailles likely *mobbed*; alternatives: Fontainebleau (palace+forest), Chantilly (chateau & Musée Condé), or towns like Chartres or (further) Troyes

- walk around old parts of the city (e.g., the Marais (e.g., rue des Rosiers) & Place des Vosges, rue Mouffetard)
- if you're there in July/August, see less popular attractions, e.g., Saint-Denis Cathedral (a bit out of the way), church of Saint-Germain-des-Pres (renovations??)

Drivers have killed more Americans since 2000 than died during the two world wars. From 2006–2012, drivers killed twice as many Americans as opioids. washingtonpost.com/local/tra…

Warren/Sanders answers on gentrification were perfect studies in their differences.
Warren: “I have a plan to build 3.2 million housing units.”
Sanders: “We’re going to tell the developers you just can’t come in and build expensive condos and drive working class people out."

Many cities *talk* about prioritizing active travel. But few actually do.
At this Delft intersection, pedestrians and cyclists have a continuous green light, and drivers must ask for permission to cross the foot and cycle path.

Do the police have a non emergency number for that sort of thing? I've observed people calling such a number for that... and the police towed the car away 15 minutes later.
