Housing Bubble, credit bubble, public planning, land use, zoning and transportation in the exurban environment. Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.
Hi Liz. I'm going to guess that you let your dear husband go to places like this and you pretend that you like them too. I took like 40 pictures there and if your hubs is really interested I will post them where you can show them to him without clogging this blog.
Actually he is a rail road fan and he drags me to railroad museums. I rode on a bike once, and it was fun. His dad used to take him to the station to watch the freights Rumble by. Will ask about bikes. ANY other blog friends get burnt down? If I lived in Santa Rosa not sure I'd rebuild, destruction too vast. We got our Andew check quickly. Not so sure that it will be true this time
The Anaheim fire is contained and nothing but haze is in the air. Worse than normal but no worse than it gets sometimes without a fire.
Ventura and SB counties plus a large chunk of LA are on Red Flag alert as Santa Ana (Santana) winds are building through Sunday. No fires but if one starts it would be bad.
Winds up north are going to move around and be tough for the firefighters. They are stretched thin and tired.
Expect the death toll and property loss totals to grow as destroyed areas are revisited.
An emergency evacuation order was given for large parts of the town of Sonoma early Saturday morning, as the Nuns Fire swept out of the hills into the flatlands, burning homes and threatening wineries.
The winds started picking up around 1 a.m. just east of Sonoma, but a little before 3 a.m., “that’s when the hill exploded,” said a Cal Fire firefighter, who declined to give his name because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
Officials in Sonoma County issued mandatory evacuation orders for parts of the Sonoma Valley early Saturday morning.
Wow, I hadn't thought about Sonoma real estate investments until you mentioned Tom Stone. It will be interesting to see how much prices are affected by the fires.
I noticed a front page ad for a local bank advertising personal, 24 hour approval loans at 7.17%. With banks paying 1.5 -1.75% for 1 yr CDs, they must be doing well. (Two year CD are about 2%)
We made them American citizens. Those homeless, in Kali are maybe worthless, but they are spreading hepatitis A to the non worthless and something must be done. Compulsory showerz? Toilets. Bus shelter type things that cost a quarter to enter?
Don't forget generations of gangbabgers in Kali. Failure to assimilate to the American way. Haven't heard of Irish gangs ruling the streets. A Kali experience you must experience to understand.
No Irish gangs. No Cuban gangs. Their mothers wouldn't let them. No Hatian gangs, they are so happy to be here. No white gangs, they are in the minarity. No Canadain or p r gangs
First.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning! 🛵
ReplyDeleteSome more gear head pics would be great. I like micro cars ant had a 59 Nash Metropolitan. 🚘
We had a Nash 50 years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe went to one exhibit and.my mom said she saw the same thing 50 years before.
ReplyDeleteHah! I knew it! More transport pics to lighten the mood from the fires.
ReplyDeleteAlas, not interested in motorcycles.
ReplyDeleteI drag him to art museums. Only fair.
ReplyDeleteWe pass tracks on Courtney parkway, some times there a Train on them, that he peers at. Likewise electrical wires and there accouterments
ReplyDeleteBut he can't tell one leaf from another. He knows a tomato plant by the smell.
ReplyDeleteIs the air bad where you are?
ReplyDeleteFire questions answered.

List of wineries impacted:

Let's hope Tom Stone checks in this weekend.
Ansolutely. Who is the one who refers to one child as the winemaker?
DeleteNah Metro was built by Bantum in the U.K. 🚗
ReplyDeleteThe winds and heat have taken a toll on the avocados. Hundreds of tennis ball sized babies have dropped off the trees.
ReplyDeleteOmg, Dawg is all of kali gonna burn down. You can't evacuate L A. If I lived there, I'd get the hell out right. With a carload of mementos.
ReplyDeleteLiz, you might note that none of the Cali posters here live in LA. People who live there are to dumb to post here.

Let's hear from Tom soon.
Oh Tahemmmm. Stone, roll over here
DeleteDoes Tom own a winery or just broker them? Where does he live?
ReplyDeleteI tell you, next, Canada will attack
ReplyDeleteTom is likely to sell me a vineyard. Note. A vineyard is NOT a winery.
ReplyDeleteOh. Liz says she's sorry and aims a sad look onto the electrons that go your way. Well, a vineyard then.

Can Liz's 5% mortgages be coming soon?
Traderwalt
How much is this disaster costing?
ReplyDeleteDid any one see the video of Ryan tellING the People of Puerto Rican that they would get what they needed? As long as they need it. More revolts?
ReplyDeleteHi Trader.
ReplyDeleteHuuummmm
Will they join the land of high property insurance like Florida?
"get what they needed?"
ReplyDeleteUh oh! (Discipline, humility, frugality, lower standard of living, new boot straps, almost clean water ?)
Independence? Statehood? Anticorruption? Infrastructure? Societal adsorption?
ReplyDeleteWe made them American citizens.
DeleteThose homeless, in Kali are maybe worthless, but they are spreading hepatitis A to the non worthless and something must be done. Compulsory showerz? Toilets. Bus shelter type things that cost a quarter to enter?
Good Morning!🌞
ReplyDeleteKali will import more poverty. That will fix it 💸 ☕️🍩
Nah, they will come to Florida, where they will be ok. All our other Hispanics will show them the ropes.
DeleteI bet the Irish who are due for hurricane opelia don't know to run to the grocery store and buy all the water bottles.
ReplyDeleteGo to the hardware store.
ReplyDeleteBuy a new plastic trash can.
You need one anyway.
Fill it from the hose.
Survive.
Plus you have a new trash can.
My kids had to get shots for diseases that went away decades ago because of illegal immigrant kids in their schools.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget generations of gangbabgers in Kali. Failure to assimilate to the American way. Haven't heard of Irish gangs ruling the streets. A Kali experience you must experience to understand.
ReplyDeleteWell... Not since Whitey Bulger went on the lam
DeleteOnce the Irish did.
DeleteUsed to be that immigrants wanted the same as what you had. Now they want what you have.
ReplyDeleteNew post.
No Irish gangs. No Cuban gangs. Their mothers wouldn't let them. No Hatian gangs, they are so happy to be here. No white gangs, they are in the minarity. No Canadain or p r gangs
ReplyDeleteOurs haVe. Maybe you are so mean to them, they don't want to.
