A big moment for California is at hand: @California_HCD must decide whether to certify San Diego's still-totally-inadequate housing plan, having given the city a 6-month grace period.
What the dept decides will shape expectations for every other city going forward. 1/n

In sum, the time has come for @California_HCD to decertify San Diego's housing element until city provides *some* information about rate of redevelopment of nonvacant sites, and adjusts claims of "realistic capacity" accordingly. 16/end

There do appear to be some advantages of having a construction site across the street. (I've done enough walking around Palo Alto the last 6 months to have seen the food trucks going to the construction sites.)

OK, so all the dots within 60 miles of me are either mountaintops or right on the ocean. At least they're all unusual stations as far as I'm concerned...

... or are those stations where the coldest temperature was in December? That would make more sense.
All those California dots really surprise me. Coldest temperatures around here (San Francisco Peninsula) are usually around the New Year.

Does this mean that residents of Santa Clara County aged 16+ can, when making an appointment at Walgreens for April 15 or later, say that they're eligible under their county's rules?
(If so, is that true only for pharmacies inside Santa Clara county, or also ones outside of it?)

For the record, what's wrong with this approach -- "empathy for those with whom I have direct experience" -- is that many of humanity's most pressing problems involve victims that are very far away from the perpetrators, in time/geography/social class.

I don't actually care that much about the complexity of the code -- I care about the complexity that is exposed to the people.

One of the trade-offs with processing of the minutes is between those who view it as HTML (on GitHub and probably in GitHub's HTML email) versus those who view it as text (GitHub's plain text email and probably that email in W3C archives).

Also, for what it's worth, my main concern upthread was people who had actually tested positive or were sick, not those (lower rik) with some possibility of exposure. That is, giving people who are actually positive a place to go where they won't infect their family or roommates.

Yeah, agreed that it doesn't make sense for young kids.
(Were those "home isolation" instructions were from someplace outside the US, or at least outside California? I haven't heard about things being taken that seriously around here.)

People should have been able to go somewhere to isolate from their family, too. I think it's an interesting question whether it should have been mandatory (without a good care-related excuse), but it certainly should have been an option.

Incredible New Zealand study on a mystery transmission in a quarantine hotel. For a while, a garbage can was suspected—one of the very, very few known suspected cases of fomite transmission. Turns out... it's aerosols. What a Kuhnian year this has been. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/27…
