We switched to calling them Zones 1 - 4, of course. Because there is this weird hatred of being labeled "suburban" Guess it's too cringe.

In my California city, we had four different types of zones we needed to name... and for our least dense/ least connected to transit zone, the Mayor's office suggested "Urban Outlying Areas"... and I was like, it's like these areas are not quite urban, but rather SUB-urban...

I told my staff today that I get why v people don't like candy corn-- the cloyingly sweet taste-- but I just cannot get enough of the texture!

I find this to be true of the chat feature on youth sports apps, too. Like you'll have parents treat it as their group chat. And all I can think is, get some friends!

The judges took the plaintiff's argument hook, line, and sinker. The City did a full initial study to scope out all other issue area. Not that it matters because the plaintiff would have just invented new fake impacts of removing the height limit.

The decision made my blood boil. The City focused the environmental on views because that was the only impact. The idea that the report should have covered geotech, noise, or bio resources (in Midway?!) more thoroughly than they did is ludicrous.

He seems to want to revert back to what was there prior, but I find this baffling. Who wants cars going faster near the school?! Also, it's really not that bad! Traffic moves slowly through the area for like 15 min twice daily!

The principal at Marston Middle School includes a message about Clairemont Drive in every school newsletter because he is upset that the City took away a vehicular lane in each direction to add a protected bike lane (street parking between the bike lanes and vehicular lanes).

I know this isn't the point, but how in the world did CPS find out about a 13 yo watching a 1 yo?

Unfortunately, he was a victim to early-onset dementia, which he passed away from a couple years ago. But I've always thought that if he had still been mentally sharp when I got really into Austen, I totally could have gotten him to write an academic paper on the Economics of Jane Austen.

My father was an economics professor with a focus in the history of economic thought, especially British monetary theory from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

My experiences were in 2012 and 2014, and both were flawless. In 2014, I was using the benefit I had earned in a previous job, because 8 months prior to the birth, I'd started working a public sector job that didn't pay into the State system. So it used to work... at least for me...

My 13 yo son did not know of CK until he saw his death auto-play on his phone (great social media environment we've got!)... but in the last week, he's like THIS GUY is the one they are losing their minds over?! Any clips he sees of CK, he's just like, that's straight up loser shit

In my City, it's City Council who adopts the plans. And many community planning areas were downzoned in the 80s to "protect neighborhood character." Believe me, the plans would look very different if planners could adopt them.
