Lesson 15 was quite an adventure. Had to cancel the flight after encountering engine trouble. Thankfully we were able to fly after another renter came back early. And while practicing landings (something I’ve done for the past 5 lessons) I saw a house on fire …

Lesson 12 update: finally landed the plane on my own! Landing is arguably the most difficult maneuver to master, & while I managed to stick a couple of landings, I’ll need many more hours of practice before I consistently land the plane like a pro. Right now I’m not using flaps.

The entire Bay Area waterfront should legit be flooded with high-rise condos like Edgewater, Chicago. The reason you can get a large waterfront condo for under $300k there is because developers put up high-rises with wanton abandon next to single-family homes in the 60s and 70s.

@SANDAG I’m convinced American traffic engineering departments need a complete house cleaning. You think this design is ok in 2023?

@nikicaga Probably so they can get the rich to take public transit and so they can raise more revenue? Business and first class seats generate more profit than economy class seats on planes.

@FOS @DeionSanders This thing is wildly impractical for commuting, hauling stuff, or even off-roading. It's just a pointless gas guzzler that'll take up 4 parking spaces at the local strip mall.

@HollyBell8 I don't shame people who live in single-family homes. But I will shame people who want to make it illegal to build anything but a single-family home in their neighborhoods. Also, in real life, density looks a lot more like this:

@Smooches415 Lol SF isn’t overpopulated at all. Go visit any other big city and you’ll see that SF is nowhere near that. The AI capital of the US should be fancy & futuristic, not filled with 80 year old stucco boxes that sell for millions.

@Heritage @lora_ries American Muslims have integrated very well into American society. They tend to work very hard like other immigrants, and most are middle class or upper middle class. Funny thing is that American Muslims leaned Republican until the mid 2000s.

Can someone explain why state-level upzoning has been relatively uncontroversial in Florida, yet there's major backlash in California? The FL Senate unanimously made it much easier to build apartments across the state, but similar bills in CA have faced bipartisan opposition.

@PeterSweden7 They're fighting FOR tax breaks lol. These are businessmen who want billions in government subsidies. Germany spends billions of Euros on agricultural subsidies each year when the money would be much better spent on railway infrastructure or trade schools.

Tip for California: stop handing out "down payment assistance" (which just increases housing costs) and start giving low-interest construction loans to infill developers. We should be constructing thousands of small 3 to 6 story apartment complexes every single year!

Some Bay Bridge trivia: the Bay Bridge in the 1930s had dedicated lanes for buses & trucks and even streetcar tracks, while today it has just 10 perpetually congested lanes of traffic. The bridge had a significantly higher throughput for both people & goods 80 years ago. 1/

@jdoggny @MarkLevineNYC @TwittsMcGee On the contrary, if one AC unit fails, the whole train will still be relatively cool because the AC units in the other cars will make up for it. Plus newer cars have 2 AC units anyways, so even if one fails you'll have the other as backup.

@VickieforNYC I don’t think deliveristas, college students, and young kids are “affluent gentrifying progressive activists”. Also you need a complete network Dutch-style bike lanes in order for cycling numbers to skyrocket.

@benjamin_bdj @StopAntisemites So you're not allowed to enjoy paragliding just because some terrorists used paragliders? This is like saying you can't like airplanes because of 9/11. Keys literally lives in an area popular with paragliders.

@HankPlante They left because of the high housing costs and quality-of-life issues, not because of remote work. Other cities like Miami and Austin gained population. Even NYC has recovered quite well from the pandemic relatively speaking. This is what NIMBYism and poor policies get you.
