Sad but the Climate alarmists proceed unabated.
From Smithsonian who should know better.:
So. what about Smithsonian? Silly people. Actually a silly reporter type person allowed to advocate instead of report. I blame the editors for not reigning in the excesses.
Maine now produces 80 percent of American-caught lobster, writes Justin Fox for Bloomberg View, and more than seven times the average take in a pre-2000 year.The reason is anthropogenic change, although the exact factors are hard to assess. For one thing, we're eating more cod, one of the lobster's main predators. As cod stocks fall because of overfishing and other factors, more lobsters are reaching catchable age, and they wander around the seabed with impunity, making them easier for humans to catch. For another, the ocean is warming, which has moved the lobstering "sweet spot" away from the state's southern coast to the northeast, Fox writes.Fishery practices, like not catching lobsters under or over a certain size and not catching egg-bearing females, are also part of the equation–though not, Guilford writes, to the degree lobstermen would like to think...

This climate stuff is all beyond rational speculation. The lobster herd is absolutely almost entirely subject to human influence. Pollution. Fishing techniques. Overfishing. Overfishing of predator species. Management practices. Compared to those climate shifts are lost in the noise.

Well, they did mention those things.
If we're getting more lobsters, what's the complaint?
The complaint is that climate change is causing lobster disruption. The evidence is clear that there are a half dozen other reasons far bigger masking any possible signal.
Raining 17 days in a row.
Am I the only one who sees the evil of a corporation who has destroyed literally millions of brick and mortar jobs and businesses gets a big thumbs up for going into bricks and mortar?
Soon Amazon can buy K Mart Sears. Winner takes all means even the old way.
Looked at some new refrigerator boxes here in FoCo. Half a mill and you can spit at your neighbors box or accrossed the back yard and hit the fence. $500+ Nice tract shacks but you may as well call them a townhouse with an air gap. LOL!
Hose up 500$ sonce I looked last, which was several days ago.
House.
My house is somewhat cheaper than that and is on a lot that over 2 1/2 acres. Everybody around me is improving and we will too if the damn contractors ever get back to us.
New EN term:
Discontinuous Condo.
Detached Apartment.
Airgap Townhome.
Love it.
Good morning.😀
posts to post. Sarcasm to spew!
WakeY wakey!
They are right in building smaller houses, but they don't get the part about charging much lower prices.
Hard to amortize permit fees for smaller houses. $8k per bedroom to the schools for instance. That's why you see lots of en suite masters and dens/offices.
8k? I guess Cali doesn't want any children. They are expensive and cause trouble.
Looks like it just you and me dawg.
Peoe will talk.
People
Don't complain... When I was a kid we had a stretch of, IIRC, about 400 days without rain.
Yup... But they may have plans where the storefronts become warehouses and a substantial proton of new business is drone delivery and pre-order pickups in the back.
That's one, pricey hose...
Good morning all... I'll drop in from time to time to keep you honest... Had Mike returned?
No boo hoo.
Gardening. Flowers. Weeding. . .
Are my topics boring or do we just lack critical mass in the comments?
More marigolds, weeding, tiredness
Critical mass. I think you do better if you laid off the global warming for a while.
How about zoning? I've tangled with that a little bit in south Florida. And density, good or bad? Building regulations good or bad, or sometimes good. Parks. I think those things are mentioned in your introductory blub.
Blurb!
My daughter the arcitect hates urban planning. She lives just outside Boston, which is dense, very walkable has functioning mass transit, and big and small, very old and new building. I'd like to I've there, but it's too cold for me.
Live. Also lots of culture, tho not as much as NYC, lots of school some of the highest quality. Ecpensive, but not as much as NYC or San Francisco.
Topics are fine. Just not enough old HCN'ers to keep the floor of comments going. Too bad outsider, Josap, et al didn't show up
Functioning perhaps, but heavily subsidized
Boston and NYC are full of A-holes... SFC not a lot better, and the traffic is horrible...

Unlike the campus protesters of the 1960s, today’s student activists are not expressing countercultural views. They are expressing the exact views of the culture in which they find themselves (a reason that administrators prove so ready to accede to their demands). If you want to find the counterculture on today’s elite college campuses, you need to look for the conservative students.
