We don't need Prop 45 to build new housing - recent state laws have already streamlined approval of new homes in existing cities and suburbs. Instead, Prop 45 would rubber stamp sprawl in wildfire zones, and make California's insurance crisis worse. Vote No on 45.

Yes, of course they have a choice, but the choice is much more clear-cut if you're selfish. If your choice is "under-resourced school or mostly white and thus quite racist school," and your child will be victimized by the racism, well, not so easy.

Finally finished making my way through this piece. Painful, self-critical, revealing, excellent journalism. I recommend that those inclined to be judgmental about what they’ve read here check out Nice White Parents, a 2020 podcast from the team at Serial on NYC public schools.

In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?
A decade ago, I made a decision about my daughter’s education that I hoped would challenge New York City’s separate and unequal school system. Now 16, she thinks I made the wrong choice.

Filtering doesn’t take decades, growth in housing production can offer affordability benefits for new buildings within a few short years. Much work to be done. This doesn’t mean we don’t need more reforms or more subsidized housing money. But skeptics of filtering are lazy/lying to you.

Amidst all this I can’t emphasize enough that policy workers in CA state government they are largely fiercely opposed to red light and speed cameras. To the extent that the state legislature has expanded these tools it was often elected leaders overruling committee consultants and agency staff.

Insurance Commissioner is a hard but important job that demands a serious policy person to deal with a very real crisis that affects nearly every Californian. Do not vote for Jane Kim.

Opinion: Jane Kim’s California insurance plan is built on a myth
The candidate for insurance commissioner has campaigned on a platform of smoke and mirrors: big talk, little respect for the facts, and at times outright falsehoods.

Prop 45 is designed to benefit sprawl, freeways, and dams (and likely data centers, too). The CEQA infill exemptions from last year already cover the type of housing that we need more of in California.

The California Environmental Quality Act is bad for the environment because it gives litigious busybodies the power to delay and block environmentally friendly projects like bike lanes on the grounds that the government has not sufficiently analyzed the bike lanes’ “environmental impacts.”

A Berkeley bike lane would eliminate 145 parking spaces. Residents are suing to stop it.
Plaintiffs argue that Berkeley City Council approved the Hopkins Street bike lane project without conducing necessary environmental reviews.

after some lovely friends with a timeshare (points-based) took us to Hawaii to stay at a 2bd condo, I found this website called Redweek that is like VRBO for timeshare owners. You can “rent” people’s timeshare week and the prices are quite good. Eg, 2bd Marriott villa on Maui for $600/night at Xmas.
