I'm on E 35th. Windows on west side smashed at almost every house, including mine (worse than most). Both our cars were off-site; one getting hail damage fixed from last storm; and the loaner car the ...

Laura Morrison in specific and BATPAC in general have garnered big donations from Jim Skaggs and his wife. Yes, that fucker - the guy who wants to stop rail; and then take a quarter to a half of Cap...

PS: Yes, I mean you, Wells. No, saying "both sides are bad" isn't enough when one side has done something really bad (anonymous robocalls) and the other side just normal campaigning....

The discouraging thing is how many BATPAC-types are just brushing it off completely. If Kim is willing to do essentially anything to keep her job (as with the wild swings and erratic behavior that cos...

The distinction appears to be that UV may cause non-melanoma skin cancers, which are a comparatively Small Deal, but they actually don't cause and may even help to prevent melanoma and other cancers. ...

Laura, your blood shouldn't be boiling quite so much - there is some evidence percolating now that skin cancer isn't quite as cut and dried as people thought, since some folks with nearly zero sun exp...

Seth, you're a gigantic ass. Are you a developer?...

AngryRobot has posted to other blogs I've seen, maybe even mine (can't remember), and used to have his own. You're dead wrong on this one. And I thought your characterization of developers was also b...

Seth, you're as bad as those developers if you assume that everybody who posts something you disagree with is a sockpuppet. Cut it the fuck out....

w7cook, many of your neighbors view other people parking on 'their street' as a negative. I, personally, would like to see every single possible on-street parking space used all the time - it means we...

No, William, I've said that even IF I accept your contention that it's relevant, and I don't, I'd STILL say that the new development provides less parking 'overflow' than does Rowena. The new developm...

We are in a recession if we use more traditional measures of inflation (which would have deflated GDP enough for it to be in negative territory the last two quarters): http://bigpicture.typepad.com/c...

The residents are claiming Rowena is too narrow to support on-street parking for residents or guests of the new development. That's not my claim. And it's your argument that's absurd - you're giving ...

Uh, I have quite clearly refuted the claim - the on-street parking isn't attributable to Rowena because anybody can use it at any time (and, in fact, the neighbors claim it's 'too narrow' for much on-...

The developments (houses) on Rowena didn't provide the on-street parking. It's effectively being provided by the entire city. Your insistence on somehow giving them credit for being on a street with o...

However, if the new development is providing more off-street parking per potential driver than are the old developments, and that, I have shown, is quite clearly the case, then it is reasonable to all...

Great. Wrote a comment, got lost. Here's what it was, from memory: William, your comment referred to your house "having" three on-street parking spaces. That implies ownership, or some other sort of ...

No, it's not. Most people actually think the spaces in front of their house belong to them, or at best, their neighbors. Your language made it sound like you were reinforcing that position. It's impor...

No, William, you don't "have" three off-street parking spaces. They aren't yours. They aren't even your neighborhood's. They belong to the whole city....

Connecting to two streets with internal circulation is better than connecting to one street with no such circulation; and it's still abominable to disconnect even for bikes/peds based on the theory th...
