I didn't really get what they hate about it. I read some mild annoyances, which I had a hard time understanding because I grew up in an 800 sq ft house with 2 parents and 5 kids, t…

I get what you're saying but I don't think it's that depressing or surprising, but that's a big discussion better had in other places.

If you owned Twitter and the site was suddenly flooded with calls to attack election officials and raid election offices what would you do? You'd probably meet with your lawyers an…

It will be easy to switch to another platform and there will be tools to help as this post indicates. 4chan users are having fun saying the N word on Twitter and Le Bron James is c…

I find this whole situation to be incredibly depressing, especially with Musk tweeting out a fact free insinuation about Paul Pelosi (since deleted without apology.) The proverbial…

I haven't read Grisham but that's how I felt about Crichton's books. His books were treatments designed to made into a movie and read like that.

From the size of it, I'd say it's about the size of Timothy McVeigh's Oklahoma city bomb, which was a 16 ton truck filled with fertilizer. All trucks over this bridge were supposed…

You're right, the novelty would wear off quickly, but it doesn't hurt anything for me to organize a data set about myself just in case

I'm old so I've been planning on this for awhile. I have a folder that contains all my personal data: photos and videos, journal, all my saved social media posts, all my emails and…

I'm not even sure what NIMBY means but if it means concerned about the development in my hometown then I'm NIMBY.

I repeat, the University should build dorms on their land up on the hill. They have plenty of it, but they want to preserve it's natural beauty

The locals wonder why UCSC doesn't build housing on their land? Admittedly, it's a beautiful spot up on the hill and housing blocks in the meadow would be a crying shame from an ae…

Ok, I'm NIMBY. So? I'm sure you would too if they were to build a 5 story apartment building overlooking your backyard. My point is that Santa Cruz and San Jose are very different.…

I guess we could just let the homeless smoke meth and shoot heroin in the Redwood forests like we used to and not do anything

They are... several huge apartment blocks downtown that are ugly as sin but necessary. The homeless problem in Santa Cruz is mostly about drugs and mental illness. People who could…

Call it what you want, but the goal was to keep Santa Cruz from turning into Waikiki, Hawaii with high rise apartment buildings lining the ocean. We fought to keep Lighthouse Field…

I live in San Jose and currently can't afford to live in Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz native here: I can understand the author's frustrations coming to Santa Cruz from the outside but there's more to it. He's describing a UCSC problem because the universi…
