Such businesses will close shop.

Keeping them clean is the easy part. Doing it well would require building the infrastructure, maintenance, manning the station, preventing drug abuse etc, and getting into liabilities due to said abuse.

Tons of businesses stop doing business if they are forced into efforts that dont make money. The city/state should own sanitation. Not private companies.

The web app has a 5-minute cache on dynamic content - which balances info freshness with performance. The architecture supports the ultra-light, fast-loading requirements by design.

Thank you. Images would increase the page size. Intent is to keep this accessible on slow/overloaded connections.

Thank you! I will implement this - the server code is in plain C with NGINX on top so I presume adding memached would be straightforward.

The weather API call has been fixed.

FEMA reported the earthquakes to be centred in San Ramon and not in Alameda. Will see how this can be handled.

It was never down - it was being patched and redeployed based on feedback here.

Webapp is light enough to handle 10000 concurrent hits.

112 is also a national emergency number.

The site is light enough to handle traffic spikes from HN. The site was being patched based on feedback here. You should see it up and running.

Idea is to keep it light and accessible. PWA would be data heavy. The use case is in the article linked in the post description.
