I don't really know the best way forward here. PGE is a nightmare. The publicly owned utilities in CA... SMUD is fairly popular while the ones in So CA are not- and have likewise had their equipment...

I respectfully disagree with a mandatory switch to all-electric, especially after the last round of power outages. Anyone with an all electric-household could neither bathe nor cook for several...

What does this actually accomplish? A very small reduction in emissions, while removing the cheapest (and many of the cooks...

Well... there are a lot of issues to be worked out...

First, the rush for hemp production is for CBD - not fiber or nutritional seeds. Legally to be hemp it must have virtually no THC. But there...

it's all red-pill stuff there. Have fun with those sites, but unless (ok, I know you all do) you think any "mainstream" source of info is tainted and trying to fool us for nefarious reasons, they...

I don't have time to properly address all of the bullshit in this comment but I will get to some. You see, with all of the rain, my security moat has over-topped and it seems a few of the alligators...

As a point of information... It's my understanding that the tenant's responsibility for flood preparation is solely to move their stuff above the flood line, which is marked on the wall of all their...

While there are certainly some people who fit the profile you describe, there are others who willfully refuse to accept the validity of people airing real grievances and expecting accountability....

The Barlow had a flood protection plan that was supposed to be automatically engaged when flooding was likely. The planned crew of 25+ turned out to be 5 or 6 poorly trained men who started working...

Your analysis is as usual accurate.

Everyone should be aware that when the flood stages reach the 40s, the sewer treatment plant on Llano road is often underwater. This means that raw sewage is...

In the late 1990's, flood waters entered the the intersection of Highway 12 and Petaluma Ave. (almost got to Mimi's ice cream), considerably higher than the recent flood. Sure the powers that be must...

I thouroughly agree that the Barlow failed miserably on this.. and will hopefully be held responsible by both the city and the tenants. (and the community).

As to building in the flood plain, I...

To elaborate on that, the Hospital District went into debt that is backed by the parcel tax, so the parcel tax will continue until the debt is paid off. I've always assumed that we'll be paying the...

No

It seems crazy to tear down the hospital and rip out the parking lots to build apartments. What a waste that would be.

Whatever happened to objections to the traffic that CVS was projected to generate (and which doesn't seem to have happened)? TJ would generate an enormous increase in comparison, but nobody seems to...

(I haven't read the whole text of the piece Dorothy posted) I think it's important to point out that state-level

Wrong in so many ways.

Cannabis is almost 40 acres and wine is 60,000+ acres.

If you are not aware of the restrictions on cannabis you should find out because you are just perpetuating the...

Boo hoo!

You and about a million other citizens of this United State have been punished for using cannabis.

You don't express empathy for the people who have been wronged, you attack...

There's a good article in the current Bohemian on the proposed Graton Cannabis development:

Done! That worked well. I was able to decide all these without much uncertainty of how I wanted to vote. Except I guess for that water bond proposition, which I've not really looked into yet.

I thought Marty's apology was sincere and well done.

My understanding is that growing pot in soco is coming to an end. First and Foremost is the climate reality for outdoor, just too cool and humid, the buds rot right before harvest. Then there is the...

Hi. My business and candidate sites are down due to bug that was found. Both should be back up soon.

I can't imagine anybody will want them. :dunno:

Best thing to do is to see if you can recycle them. That's not easy either.

If you would like to see another 30,000 homes/units/apartments built it DOES NOT follow that you need to support approving a 300 million dollar bond.
