The new effort saves much money by focusing on utilitizing railroad lines that are already in place. The aim is to bolster these lines by adding double tracks as well as side tracks where needed so passenger lines on a schedule could veer past freights.

The other lawmakers who appeared in the video message also served in the military or the intelligence community. They included Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan; and Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania. No action has been taken against them.
In a post to X, the defense secretary said that in response to Kelly's "seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct," the department started "retirement grade determination proceedings" against the senator, "with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay," Hegseth said.

I was recently told if you see a vehicle blocking the lined area beside some handicap spots meant for wheelchair ramps, or crossways across two spots, etc. that "you could take a picture of it and send it to 311 so that we can track where this is happening and possibly request additional enforcement".
I assume give time, location and license plate# with the submission.
I haven't found specific statements on the 311 website, but maybe I am not interpreting it correctly.
It is hard to understand why someone handicapped would interfere with other handicapped parkers.

The showcases typically open with an extended monologue from Trump himself. Tuesday’s lasted more than 30 minutes, as Trump riffed on everything from the cognitive test he aced —“I’m a smart person, not a stupid person,” he said—to what he described as “the fat drug, f-a-t, for fat people,” apparently referring to Ozempic. He said he should get eight Nobel Peace Prizes, one for every war he claims to have ended.

Zillow, the nation’s largest real estate listing website, has removed extreme weather risk data meant to help buyers figure out if the biggest purchase of their life is particularly susceptible to floods, high winds or wildfires.
Now, other major real estate listing websites are facing pressure to do the same.
That pressure is coming from the California Regional Multiple Listing Service...
Out of concern that it has impacted home sales, the California group is questioning the accuracy of some climate change-related data compiled by risk modeling company First Street. That company creates current and future risk scores for climate change-fueled disasters like wildfires, coastal and rainstorm flooding, high winds, extreme heat and air quality, which are displayed on real estate websites including Redfin, Realtor.com and, until recently, Zillow.
Let the buyer beware.
Knowledge is bad in other words unless you have it and others don't.
Looks like collusion. Similar to landlord rent prices, etc.
