Market and 6th is similar, that area has been whackadoodle for years. Then a couple blocks away…nothing.

Good thing we're all buying electric cars. It's been many years since I've needed to fill up with gasoline. California is always ahead of the curve.
You maybe. Not low income folks. But we know most of you don’t pretend to care about them until election season.
Honestly it's a good thing our weather is so good. Otherwise there'd be no point in living here. 1920238362138460501 is not a valid tweet id

Thanks for all that research, but I’m only considering swing states if I’m to give up this amazing weather.
Where did you get that data, the Onion? This is from the Florida description: "...with a succession of good governors." First Jeb Bush, then Ron DeSactimonius... There's a reason "Florida Man" is a thing.
It’s starting to get a little Trumpy here in the Golden State Per NYT Newsom to Ask Cities to Ban Homeless Encampments, Escalating Crackdown Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration has spent tens of billions of dollars on programs to bring homeless people into housing and to emphasize treatment. But this new move is a tougher approach to one of the more visible aspects of the crisis.
Per Gov Newsom After saying they needed resources and legal clarity to address homelessness and encampments, local governments have since received both. Now, the state is providing a model to tackle encampments humanely while acting with the required urgency. The time for inaction is over.
Meanwhile solidly red Turlock in the Central Valley won’t contribute $1 plus a motion of support for a homeless shelter: https://www.sfchronicle.com/califor...nia-homeless-shelter-fundraising-20307641.php Actions speak louder than words, me thinks.
Also from SF Chronicle: Gavin Newsom’s new homeless encampment plan is cheap PR—a way to get his name in headlines & blame local govts for failing to address homelessness. But CA’s duty is far from over & pretending otherwise will only inflame political tensions
I like to talk shit about California, but this looks like a nice project. I hope it works. "California’s economy forges ahead: Pacific Steel breaks ground on state’s first new steel mill in 50 years" 1923172467553468479 is not a valid tweet id
Us not having a steel mill isn't some kind of socialist Democratic conspiracy - it's because choices had to be made. Through the 1990's California was actively kicking these kinds of industries out. They use a lot of energy, and California just didn't have enough production to support both them and regular people trying to cook food and watch TV, so we chose people. California uses the least energy per capita in the continental United States, and as much as I like to think it's because we are environmentally conscious, it's more because these high energy use industries are rare in the state. And California still imports almost 25% of it's power and our electricity rates are double our neighbors. Using just those numbers, you have to be a fool to open this kind of plant here, whether the state wants it or not. The thing is, that isn't the whole picture. During daylight hours California actually exports power because of all our solar. The problem is that we get almost nothing (occasionally less than nothing) for it as there isn't high demand for excess power at that time. But this kind of plant can run during daylight hours and use power that dirt cheap at that time. It's because our energy situation is different that people can entertain starting these plants here now.
Batteries to capture excess solar are the future, they are still expensive, but cost is coming down. Unfortunately most are produced in China
The first red flag warnings of the season in Northern California are currently posted. No doubt everything will be perfectly fine this fire season and my homeowners insurance won't be cancelled or double in price!
