Is opening weed shops good or bad for gentrification? I only like to get outraged when it helps my property values go up.

Skipped around a bunch of it. She blathers for half an hour, but she can’t give details because of pending civil litigation.

TLDR: she’s super sorry, didn’t want to hurt anyone, and somehow didn’t realize she hit the guy (hence why she just cruised off).

These clowns are back at it.

A state park should be a state park — not some fever dream boondoggle of stadiums and gyms.

Solomon remains the single best person working in local government.

Depends if you have electric heating.

I voted early at city hall. Super easy if you have the free time to pop down. I doubt there will be any issues with armed poll watchers.

1. You don’t have to fill in all sections, and can skip the BOE part.

2. You pick three. The people in the brackets are different people but running with the same stance/policies.

3. You can find articles elsewhere on Reddit. The very over-simplified version is that the schools are kinda meh but also super expensive to run (as a result of the state cutting back its funding). “Education Matters” candidates are backed by the teachers union and would attempt to prioritize quality of education. They are also the current group with control over the board. By comparison, “Change for Children” is backed by private individuals/developers, and is more focussed on trying to control costs (taxes went up a ton this year, which squeezes homeowners and indirectly filters down to higher rents). There are also unaffiliated candidates who have no real shot at winning. I encourage you to do your own research, but the main issue seems to boil down to the side you trust most to hit the correct balance on spending/quality.

It’s a bagel shop that you can walk to — it’s subpar, but still one of the only shops in downtown that makes bagels on site.

It’s a liquor license with a free building attached. But it’s too out of the way for a bar IMO.
