I still get periodically enraged when I think of La Sombrita. Everyone involved in that fiasco should be fired and never given another job with more responsibility than bagging groceries
LA mogged again except oh wait we've had motorized garbage collection and no rat infestation for fifty years already.

The entire county of Japan runs on 12 zoning types.
The City of Los Angeles alone has 37 base zones plus 50+ overlays and specific plans.
There are over 30,000 unique zoning codes in the USA. Even if the average city/county only has 12 zones, that’s still 360,000 zoning types

Our Empire Bins will make streets cleaner than ever and send even more rats packing.

Down with travel sports. No more hotel rooms, no more leaving the metro area.
Sports used to be about community-building. Sports used to be about knowing your neighbor. Down with travel sports.

The look I give someone when they ask when our kids will start playing travel baseball and I'm about to start my rant about how it is ruining children's childhoods, doesn't make 9 year olds any better, and is actually all just for the parents
