Just found out Conor Dougherty, the NYT "Sprawl is Good Actually" guy lives in Studio F--ing City: WalkScore 93/100 This exposure to walkability and frequent transit must be destroying him every day. He longs for the cul-de-sacs. He longs to breathe free. www.walkscore.com/score/studio...

Palo Alto denied 66 housing units because a group of senior homeowners thought that “hot young singles” having a balcony would mean that beer bottles could fall to the street. In case you’re wondering if aliens should abduct us all at this point.

MIPRC bill HF533 has passed in the House 95-1. This is an improvement on last year’s bill, which passed 85-6. Now it’s headed to the Senate.

First Brightline experience - seems pretty nice but my return trip is turning into an Uber because of severe delays on the system from a fire…based on conversations in the station sounds not uncommon
