Sad to see pre-grading has begun for a sprawl dev in Calabasas years after a judge ruled the city could not deny it per Housing Accountability Act

The developer has already removed 39 ancient mature oaks. Area has big vacant office lots that could be redeveloped instead of this:

🧵 (1/4) The largest grading project in over 29 years in the Santa Monica Mountains might happen soon, and it's a tragic example of how some developers "green-wash" sprawl development by using YIMBY-like language to sway judges in court filings.

📍 Las Virgenes, Calabasas

MEHKO permits were one of the best changes to CA law/local zoning statewide ever - just a few years ago this would be illegal in 99% of cities

🍕 A guy in San Diego makes pizza in an ordinary home oven. Now 3,500 people are on the waiting list

No restaurant, no professional pizza oven, and no delivery. Just a guy named AJ, his home kitchen, and pizzas that sell out in less than a minute.

Customers are limited to one pizza each — and that's only if they're lucky enough to secure a spot.

While the pizza is baking, AJ sends customers updates at every stage, so they can time their arrival and pick it up fresh out of the oven. There's no delivery — you have to collect it yourself.

His recipe is unusual, too. Originally from the East Coast, AJ combines crispy New York-style pizza with the traditions of New Haven, Connecticut. Sourdough crust, signature charred edges — and thousands of people eager to try it.

Apparently, you don't even need to open a pizzeria to run a successful pizza business.

prediction markets genuinely baffle me when it comes to local politics… seems most betters have no local knowledge

how could many have had Bass at 2x odds for most of the stretch when most polls showed her losing widely, she has massive unpopularity ratings, way less momentum?
