How often do these districts have defined limits in their organization documents? I feel like this is rare for municipal authorities in Pennsylvania, and the service area often doesn't coincide with the incorporating municipalities who have appointment authority.

I’m excited to announce the inaugural website post! Topics will focus on genealogy & geohistory, with related dives into records access & technology. The first post explores one New France family via records in the port cities of Brouage & La Rochelle, France. www.markconnelly.pro/en/genealogy...

This isn't everything though -- I think they only gave me certain categories based on my request and research focus (Annexations, Deannexations, Boundary Changes, Incorporations). Perhaps I can put some time into getting the Python script on Github over the next quarter.

I FOIA'd STAPS a few years ago (this system goes back to 1980). They sent me PDFs from the system. Most are born-digital, some need to be OCR'd. I started working on scripts to process the data, but never finished. The PDFs are on Internet Archive archive.org/details/loca...

A lot of these are solvable problems, though. Isn't the goal of having self-driving, electric cars so that cars are safer, less polluting, and so we can avoid waste (e.g., moving from a capex model where you buy a car and it sits for 90% of the time to an opex model with fewer, but on-demand cars)?

The challenge I have with this essay is that it doesn't address why the suburbs have moved left, and why Republicans struggle to bring out voters outside of Presidential elections.
