Oh this is a neat idea — killing two birds with one stone! Renewable power and reducing water loss to evaporation. I’ve never understood why California’s aqueducts are open to the desert air
Every public school, hospital & local government parking lot should also be covered with panels. ☀️ ♻️
Now That's What I Call Abundance!
unless and until republicans agree to a ceasefire in the form of strict anti-gerrymandering provisions: fuck them to hell, squeeze every last drop of blood from the stone, lock them out of every seat you can
If you want to end the California housing crisis, don't just post about it: come to YIMBY Lobby Day on May 19 in Sacramento. We will schedule you for a meeting with your representatives, connect you with neighbors, and coach you on how to advocate effectively!

This segment went up quickly and is already generating electricity across a wide span of canal. It also includes enough vertical clearance to accommodate a small backhoe, as requested by the canal maintenance team.

I loved Japan but nearing the halfway point on my China trip and i gotta be honest that im having way more fun in China than Japan. Perhaps because i have several friends here doing wild shit with me or the food's better or the Chinese are behaviorally closer to Americans than the Japanese.
Putting strict limits on the definition of treason and significant requirements for its proof was one of the smartest things the Founders did.
The Supreme Court agreed to review the bid of Catholic preschools to participate in Colorado’s universal prekindergarten program, even as they deny admission to the children of LGBTQ+ parents.
Don’t get bombed, don’t give up your nuclear program, don’t release your hold on Hormuz, and wait while the rest of the world becomes ever more desperate for a resolution and furious at Trump for not providing one
The thing is, if you’re Iran, endless ceasefires while economic pressure mounts seems pretty close to ideal

The great @muhammadspeaks.bsky.social testifying on behalf of AB 2074, which @cayimby.bsky.social is proud to co-sponsor! It's time to build housing and revive California's downtowns!
[Bill Alert] AB 2074 has passed out of the Natural Resources Committee.
The bill would streamline the construction of high-rise, residential, and mixed-use developments near regional transit hubs, backed by a low-interest revolving loan fund to help reduce costs.

The way neighborhoods were built pre WWII
A healthy neighborhood should have diversity of housing types, serving for families at all stages of life.
66% of the highest-emitting industrial boilers sit in disadvantaged communities. These aren't edge cases.
States already have Clean Air Act authority to set stricter limits. The legal tools exist.

LA's proposed SB 79 standards have dropped...
For 1/2 mile from a T2 transit stop, they allow 10 units with 2 FAR, with max height of 2 stories.
It's physically impossible to fit 2 FAR in 2 stories.
In fact, with setbacks, it's impossible to fit 2 FAR in 3 stories!

President Donald Trump has been urged to change tactics in how he is dealing with Iranian officials looking to end the war.
EXCLUSIVE:
"UK surveillance flights over Gaza were conducted with more US involvement than previously known, Federal Aviation Administration documents obtained by Zeteo reveal... [and] put the countries at risk of aiding and abetting war crimes, international legal experts told Zeteo."
A three-minute display of absolute soullessness. She won't criticize even a blunt call for genocide, if it comes from the leader of her own party.
