@Afinetheorem @JerryTurin I agree in theory. The infrastructure couldn't withstand any substantial boom. Roadways get easily gridlocked in much of the area with light tourist traffic. Water is the probably the biggest constraint & no new meters have been allowed since 2009.

@jared_wiegand @JerryTurin Bungalows cost 1.4 million and nothing gets built. If they announced tomorrow a complete relaxation of building rules you would see a massive explosion of construction.

Today in Cali: I'm in Monterey. Weather is lovely. Bungalows are $1.4m, literally. I didn't pass a single building that looks like it was built in the last 25 years. Population has fallen 9% since 1990. All these facts due to "you can't build houses". People should be furious!

@AdamNMayer It's rather interesting how this seems to have become a concern suddenly. I remember expressing some concerns about it several years ago, and people were dismissive. Now, this is a topic I encounter almost daily.

Nearly every American has a mini GPS tracker in their pocket yet people are freaking out about Flock Cameras?? Someone make it make sense 🤦‍♂️
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes

🚨 Security researcher Ben Jordan reveals that Flock cameras are secretly creating a GPS tracker for every car in America, and it’s already live This is extremely concerning “Flock license plate readers take a timestamped photo of every vehicle that passes every camera. Police can search your historical travel information for 30 days. This creates a searchable database of everyone, not just the suspects of crime — It's like if you were to build a graph of that sheet and plot it to a map, now it's as if you've had a GPS on your car for an entire month” “In order for that historical data to be of investigative value, you have to track every car” Flocks own training videos say they aren’t just tracking license plates, they’re tracking people “But Flock's own webinars talk about its license plate reader's ability to track vehicles and people” Directly from the investigation: But the company’s own training videos show police using the system to track suspects “from location to location to location.” And some of its cameras are designed to follow people as they walk. “And they quite literally use AI to zoom in and follow you around whether you’re a person of interest or not,” We need to ban Flock nationwide, this is the surveillance state being established

@JerryTurin @Afinetheorem The declines in Monterey & surrounding cities since 1990 can be traced to the closure of Ford Ord. The shock was rather sharp at the time & the recovery reordered the local economy into what you've described. I highly doubt all of the cities will get back to their 1990 peaks.

Misleading. 1990 was a peak. Today population is higher than most of the 80's, than prior to the 80s, and same as of 2000 and most of the 2000s. Why the flatness? No jobs and no economic growth to draw population growth. It's a small city that's pretty not lacks economic engines to grow. At the same time, a population maturing into childless retirement age, with adult offspring who moved away for jobs that don't exist in Monterey.

@Afinetheorem I live in Seaside. What you've observed is decades of water issues not solved, and the area has evolved into a single-tracked economy of tourism/lifestyle. The locals are seemingly blind to the challenges, and I fear it will take some real pain for any real changes.

Tokyo has a building whose entire job is to air condition other buildings. One plant in Shinjuku produces 65,000 tons of cooling capacity, roughly the output of 20,000 home AC units, and pipes chilled water underground to more than 20 skyscrapers at once. The mechanism is called district cooling. Rather than every tower installing its own chillers and cooling towers, one central plant chills water with massive compressors and steam absorption chillers, then pushes it through insulated pipes beneath the streets. Each skyscraper just runs a heat exchanger. That giant fan visible from the observation deck is one building rejecting the heat of an entire district. The math is why it wins. A chiller sized for one building has to survive that building's single worst hour. A plant sized for 20 buildings shares capacity, because offices, hotels, and department stores all hit peak load at different times. Central plants also run machines far bigger and more efficient than anything that fits on a rooftop, and they free the top floors of every connected tower, some of the most valuable real estate on the planet. The plant generates its own electricity with gas turbines too. When the grid fails, it keeps cooling and powering the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building next door. Tokyo's disaster command center rides out blackouts on a neighborhood air conditioner. The system started in 1971, before most of the skyscrapers it now serves existed. Tokyo laid the cooling grid first, then built the skyline on top of it.

You gotta check out the Monterey Historical Park if you haven't. Such an amazing collection of buildings, gardens and hidden spots. A lot of important history happened in Monterey!

@TaupeAvenger I see it from a safety perspective: it's a bit risking being on the road with larger vehicles like Suburbans, F-350s, etc. Japan doesn't have many vehicles larger than a Land Cruiser, so this size can work better there. Still, for the right area, it might work.

"Stellantis last year confirmed it would bring the vehicle from Italy to the U.S., less than a week after President Donald Trump praised small “Kei” cars from Japan." In Japan, the average vehicle size is much smaller than the US. cnbc.com/2026/07/07/ste…

At ~5 PM on July 4th, a funnel cloud was spotted south of Alpine Creek Lodge along the Denali Highway between Paxson/Cantwell. Since this occurred in NWS Anchorage's area, here's how they determined it was a funnel cloud. Thanks to everyone who shared their photos/videos! #akwx

@marcjoffe Indeed. I've been a lifelong railfan, but these stumbles and failures have done so much damage to the goodwill of the taxpayers.

Good news (maybe). The LAX Automated People Mover (aka Skylink) is supposed to start service on October 6, a mere three years late.

@marcjoffe It's unfortunate that such a small system is years late and takes billions to build. Especially with the World Cup in LA.

"Ten years ago, a record 17.6 million cars, trucks and SUVs were sold in the U.S. Some forecasts say the country might not come close to that number again." Many implications for the auto industry & all of its segments. cnbc.com/2026/06/28/us-…
