Well, you see, because a building located in an R5(CW) zone shall not cast a shadow on a lot located in the R4 or R5 zone for more than two hours each day between the hours of 9AM and 3PM on the Winter Solstice and 9AM and 5PM on the Summer Solstice.01 Oct 2026 17:53 +0000at://did:plc:42w75ppgdk7goly4ip7ebmrh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwtggb4emk2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/kerstanley.bsky.social/post/3mwt3us66hc26The California DMV will now revoke someone’s license if they injure someone *after* having *four* DUIs. Our laws were written to protect drivers from any consequences, at the cost of not protecting their victims from death and injury. The right to drive a car may as well be in the constitution.

It’s also exactly what Warren proposed during her presidential run. The very proposal that made people lose their shit and villainize her because a transition plan wasn’t “real” Medicare for All.

None wrecked their lives or committed more unethical acts than the one who was a gambling addict. And that was prior to online gambling.

And the reason? Because there are so many double parked cars on Dean/Bergen that buses literally get stuck. IT’S THE CARS. AS USUAL.
