@notanastronomer @MarthaF_F 3 years for me. Ended up just getting an apartment in North Park instead. 1 Miramar was pretty miserable.

To prospective applicants: there's grad housing with ocean views, so you can live within walking distance of the beach at below-market rates.

@kearney_melissa As I sit here finishing my morning coffee, I can’t help but point out that you can have it all here in the economics department at UC San Diego.

The more I think about it, the more I think 2013-era morality is pretty much correct:
* free speech good
* starting companies and making good products good
* monopolies bad, vendor lock-in bad
* democracy good
* greed bad
* trying to achieve national security through oppressing people bad
* cosmopolitan humanitarian values, caring about faraway people, etc good
Things we've "learned" since then have been harmful more than helpful

@nms_ucsd @Noahpinion You didn't read the White House thread on X, nor the EO online.
People need to stop relying on pundits and "news" and instead read for themselves.

What are we going to use this leverage *for*?

Let’s explain this easier with some numbers: 75% of Canadian exports go to the US. Only about 12% of our imports come from them 80% of Mexican exports go to the US. Only about 14% of our imports from them We have literally orders of magnitude more leverage

Theory of CEQA: Consider alternatives before doing something big & risky.
Practice of CEQA (via today's Executive Dir.): Expedite massive rebuild of sprawl in toxin-soaked firelands.
No study, no alts: E.D. applies only if you're rebuilding same structure in same place.

It is kind of insane that the explicit public policy of California is “after a massive horrendous fire, we will expedite building the same exact kind of fire prone structure in exactly the same fire prone area but NOT fire resistant apartments in non-fire prone areas”
