wiffleball 4,631 Posted July 20, 2018 You are NOT comparing Denver home prices to Los Angeles or San Francisco!! And don't you live in the Springs? ROFLMAO No, those places and NY, CT are their own beast. But, you also have to look at income. When one of my companies move from Houston to Beverly Hills, the increase in salary was right around 3x And still, people can't afford to move. Also, I wouldn't be looking at home prices in this context as much as median rental. Just that Denver proper is insane and very little room for growth unless we start counting the suburbs as a Denver. And the weed situation brought a whole nother kind of weird.

Baker Boy 1,479 Posted July 25, 2018 California DMV worker snoozed on job 3 hours a day for about 4 years, audit finds A California Department of Motor Vehicles employee slept three hours a day on the job for nearly four years-- all while her supervisors knew, according to a state auditor’s report released Tuesday. And the employee still works there. Between February 2014 and December 2017, the employee snoozed through an estimated 2,200 hours’ worth of work, costing California taxpayers more than $40,000, the audit said. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/07/25/california-dmv-worker-snoozed-on-job-3-hours-day-for-about-4-years-audit-finds.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker Boy 1,479 Posted July 26, 2018 Proposed SF law could force tech workers to actually go out for lunch It’s lunchtime in San Francisco’s Mid-Market neighborhood, and only a few people are trickling in and out of the local food joints. A bar and restaurant on Ninth Street has rows of empty tables, while only about six people sit inside the Perennial, where a renowned San Francisco chef was recently hired to oversee lunch. But inside the surrounding office buildings that house tech companies Twitter, Uber and Square, there are thousands of employees sequestered in private company cafeterias, where the food is free. In an attempt to attract employees to local restaurants and businesses, Supervisors Ahsha Safaí and Aaron Peskin are co-sponsoring an ordinance that would ban “employee cafeterias” from new office buildings in the city. This comes as local retailers, particularly those downtown, complain of a drop in business as more companies offer their workers meals in private corporate cafeterias, Safaí said. https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Tech-industry-s-coveted-office-cafeterias-could-13101014.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,566 Posted July 26, 2018 Appointing a study commission is a time-honored (or dishonored) way for politicians to buy time on a controversial issue, in this case nearly three years that would include two election cycles and the remainder of Donald Trump’s first — and, they hope, last — term in the White House. We’ve had such studies of universal health care already, so the parameters are fairly well-known. Health care in California costs about $400 billion a year, of which governments cover 70 percent (the federal government 50 percent) and employers and consumers pay the rest. A single-payer system assumes that the feds would agree to funnel its money through the state, including health care of federal and military retirees. It also would require new taxes of at least $100 billion a year to cover the remainder, while presumably relieving consumers and employers of their current costs and providing health coverage to several million Californians, especially undocumented immigrants, who still lack it. https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Universal-health-care-now-California-law-more-13105587.php?t=d291815c6e they have no means to pay for it which means they will raise state income tax to 25-40% and cover all illegals Welcome to Socialist Republic of California SRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electric Mayhem 35 Posted July 26, 2018 "More than 100 peer-reviewed studies on safe injection sites -- otherwise known as supervised consumption facilities -- have consistently shown them to be effective at reducing overdose deaths, preventing transmission of HIV and viral hepatitis, reducing street-based drug use and linking people to drug treatment and other services. In addition to saving lives, the facilities are projected to save the city approximately $3.5 million a year in overdose related medical costs, according to Rachel Kagan, director of communications at the San Francisco Department of Public Health." Yeah. Sounds terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. Sounds terrible. you know what else is a safe injection site? Your mom. Update: After thinking about it, I think maybe your mom is an "unsafe" injection site.
