I find both sides of this discourse have value: the federal loss of regulatory powers WRT corporations, and getting grassroots going again. I feel like my neighborhood streets are not places anymore, they're entirely liminal. Nothing happens in these spaces, no playing or working, except as strictly necessary.

> demanding the government build you a house

You're the only one saying that. Be honest in your posts. Everyone else is saying that Palo alto doesn't permit nearly enough housing to be built. I can't build an ADU because my city won't permit structures within 7.5m of my rear property line. I have the skills and the cash and the need, but not the permission.

It's an economic drag, making housing scarce. All the businesses that need service workers have a much harder time operating in a housing desert like palo alto. More of them will close, and not be replaced. The surviving restaurants will be so busy and understaffed that it's less pleasant to visit than the better restaurants in Fresno. Same for all the other services, like a hotel, or a mechanic, grocery store, pharmacy, parcel delivery. It's also difficult for the b2b suppliers to survive. Suddenly your mechanic has to order parts from farther afield, and your car takes an extra day to fix.

Well, if a guest gives off a dangerous vibe, the clerk can make judgement call.

making 30TB out of 5T drives would need 12 disks with mirroring. That's a bunch of power. It might also be a dual-socket Xeon, for that ECC

You can't form a class, and you don't have grounds to get anywhere in a lawsuit. You agreed to seek binding arbitration for any disputes relating to adsense when you signed up.
