  1. Gonna throw this out there in case anyone is interested. Although I live in LA, I have some family in the Bay Area and find myself looking at housing in the region from time to time just to see what the market is like for future reference, should we decided to move up there once the kids are out of the house. I see a lot of "well California is off the table due to housing costs," which I totally understand. And yet, I continuously see home prices in Berkeley that defy explanation. I get that Berkeley is not for everyone, but I've always enjoyed it up there. Here's just a few homes that are currently on the market. Honestly, compared to prices in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, it doesn't seem THAT expensive. Obviously the PPSF is much higher. So perhaps, coming from Texas, it does seem exorbitant to pay over $1m for something under 2000 sqft. But man, these are some solid homes with beautiful views of the bay and the city. My wife claims that its because Berkeley is a bit out of the way from the Tech hubs, so it removes those folks from the market. Not sure if there's something to that. Maybe @We’reTexas can offer an explanation? https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1626-Le-Roy-Ave-Berkeley-CA-94709/24839512_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/981-Indian-Rock-Ave-Berkeley-CA-94707/24845573_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/851-Grizzly-Peak-Blvd-Berkeley-CA-94708/24848632_zpid/ https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2314-Russell-St-Berkeley-CA-94705/24829827_zpid/
  2. meanwhile, MAGA guy shoots up a school and the official response is "these things happen."
  3. Agree or disagree that in your lifetime, institutionalized racism has ensured that Black families face significantly higher challenges in building generational wealth, obtaining a quality education, and escaping poverty?
  4. no spoilers, but the game also started slowly in Jackson, and pretty much followed episode 1. The 2nd game has also been described as darker and more violent than the first game, so take that for what its worth.
  5. The Jesuits did this
  6. Not getting in on this kid early is going to come back to haunt us. Just look at the determination on that face
  7. His crusade against lawfare was obviously trolling 101. He was lobbing accusations of "lawfare" while his candidate files 60+ suits all over the country with bogus affidavits and straight up lies in order to steal an election he lost. And now we've got his side extorting law firms who dared oppose him, pulling funding from universities unless they admit more MAGA students, freezing funds to states that he is mad at, and sending his goons to arrest persons who voice opinions different than his. But yeah, he's VERY concerned when the legal system is abused.
  8. Yeah, kinda? 35,000 people crammed into a public park on a random Saturday in April, during a non-election year, to hear 2 politicians from out of the state speak about the state of the nation.
  9. AOC and Bernie drew 35k people in downtown LA over the weekend
  10. and his disdain for "lawfare"
  11. i think I read that she came aboard as CEO after that letter fiasco
  12. Looked up this Miles O'Neill character and this is what On 3 had to say about him. lmao. Miles O'Neill's strong arm, accuracy and measured movement in the pocket reminds us of Sam Bradford. He also reminds us some of Justin Herbert as a high school prospect, particularly as a passer.
  13. Starting to understand the wardrobe choices. He's able to keep so many snacks in that front pouch.
  14. Criminal law is all about nuance. Degrees of a crime, intent, knowledge, etc. Its why there are multiple degrees of homicide and manslaughter. Discussing these issues isn't "woke" or CR. Its literally the practice of criminal law.

  16. There's also this problem. Of our own doing:
  17. I went through the area for the first time last week. Rode my bike all the way up through Altadena. Lots of large trucks hauling away shit. But many lots look like the fire hit just last week. Still shells of vehicles in driveways, etc. Many of the lots are now for sale, per Zillow, and looks like some are just choosing to move on. Went to this place a couple of times years ago when we lived closer to Lake/Woodbury. Wasn't too impressed at the time. Perhaps we owe it a visit.
