   I don’t plan on voting for either Dan Miller or HH 88. I don’t live in that district. And neither does Boardman, FYI. 🙂
   But, HH88 does have an edge. The largest concentration of renters and welfare receiptants in the county live in GV. But, then again, Dan Miller is the incumbent with a track record of no major screw ups…..unlike that drunk driver at the Condon Pak who endangered lives of our children and is sitting on the BOS and not up for re-election. Go figure.
   Of what to do, what to do. Guess I won’t vote for either.
   A few years ago I had to laugh. Was listening to the radio when someone was running for the GV Council. Maybe it was the porn surfer. Nay, it was well before that. Anyway, the chap promised jobs, maintaining the character of the city, and a bunch of other things. I laughed because how many jobs will a GV council member create within the GV city limits with a no growth building agenda? What, hire another staff member? What, create 3 jobs? Oh wow, I am impressed. Hey, the city was lucky to get a grant o by one cop car at the time and was basically running on razor thin margins. But, he would fix all of that and create jobs, jobs, jobs and redo all the sidewalks and fix every one of the citizens’ concerns. Ya right. How about a train to nowhere (Colfax). Yeah, that will fix everything.
   Shoot howdy, all of them promise jobs, smart growth, maintaining our rural atmosphere and small town feel, end homelessness, solve affordable housing, blah, blah, blah. Yep, be they a small town city council person or Mayor of LA or the Governor, they all promise jobs, wealth, 2 chickens in every pot, 40 acres and a mule, prosperity, and solutions to these “themes” year after year, decade after decade, from sea to shining blue state sea.
   They will all be running to get in from of the cameras and microphones when the next fire or flood hits our little piece of paradise.
   Guess this year it all gets down to free range dope and housing for all.

    SEOUL, April 21 (Yonhap) — North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has announced that the country will suspend nuclear and missile tests and shut down a nuclear test site in the northern area, state media said Saturday.
    “From April 21, North Korea will stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles,” the Korean Central News Agency said.
    “The North will shut down a nuclear test site in the country’s northern side to prove the vow to suspend nuclear test,” it added.

    “Odd position you are taking Scenes. I was a representing a position supporting less restrictions in building codes for housing options. Do you oppose that?”
    My guess is that you don’t know current building code in any depth, so it’s hard to even discuss the issue. In addition, there’s a boatload of fees/taxes…all for good deeds of course.
    Most of what I’ve seen for ‘affordable’ housing is to sneak around zoning for higher density. At the bottom of it all is someone trying to maximize the value for a plot of land.
    As a practical matter, the simplest way to build a bunch of cheap housing in a hurry is to loosen the zoning for trailer parks. An extremely fun thing to watch would be a bunch of humanity-lovin’ pro-diversity electric car drivin’ Green Libertarians fight with a developer trying to build a mobile home park for-the-poor in their neighborhood.

    “I’m all for more trailer parks Scenes. Are you?”
    Oddly enough, yes. It’s a brilliant way to radically boost low-income housing, and you can do it on a temporary basis (temporary could be 1 year or 50 years). If it doesn’t work, you can back out of the situation.
    Given that you are tending to collect up poorly-behaved people, additional policing is probably needed. As it sits, I can’t say that NC does a good job with what it already has.

    The drawbacks to trailer parks is simple. You have to pay rent on the space…every darn month. If someone cannot feed themselves without a helping hand, what makes you think they can pay rent even once after the “first month free” expires?
    But…but…but, can’t the county find some land and just give it away to the po folk? But, but, but, can’t the county just wave 30-40k in permits and fees and do the free hookup to sewer for our po folk? But, but, but, why doesn’t Nevada City or PGE or NID just run the infrstructure for free and provide free water and electricity and maybe Comcast can give everybody free cable and internet…with free solar.
    I have had this conservation with a well meaning advocate 20 years ago who, quite incidentally, was looking for affordable housing for himself, lol. He said if we can find some old rich lady to just donate some land and get those contractors and nail pounders to donate all the building materials needed, and if we could get the county to wave fees and get an exemption on property taxes….and if we can….that was his solution. I told him at the time (with the possible exception of waving fees and reduced property taxes) that program already exists! It’s called Habitat for Humanity and they are building right now 3 sweat equity homes and plan to finish the project with a total of 9 homes in two years ….out of the hundreds needed.
    Here is one couple’s solution. Live in RVs and Yurts. Make temp quarters permanent. Very well meaning…..if you have the land. They ain’t making anymore land.

    Re: The DNC lawsuit against the Trump Campaign, Wikileaks, and the Russians for damages.
    OMG. How stupid can Tom Perez be? How friggin stupid? A publicity stunt that is going to backfire big time. He just opened up the Dems to discovery and depositions and counter suits. Bring Donna Brazile in, Hillary in, the DNC in, bring Whatzername Shultz in, bring them all in and counter sue for Collusion with the Obama Administration not lifting a finger to stop Russian interference in the election. Put them all under oath. Get discovery on the money the Clinton Campaign, the DNC, and Obama for America slushed through their lawyer to fund Fusion GPS. Bring it on.
    Those named in the suit need not be on defense. Nay, it’s an open door to be very very aggressive and go after them. Then, when the DNC and Perez opt to drop the lawsuit, refuse to drop it. The defendants do not have to agree to drop it. This is a golden opportunity. Oh yes, the DNC will fight discovery tooth and nail.
    “By filing a lawsuit, the Democrats just opened themselves to discovery. A how a few smart lawyers can turn this around on the Democrats and cause a few headaches over what the Left thought would be a nice publicity stunt.”
    President Trump is on board.
    “Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Wendy Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails.”

    Remember when the Popinjays were running around with their hair on fire squawking, “Treason, Greaser!, Russian Collusion, Smoking Gun, Treason!” about the Russian (RUSSIAN) lawyer meeting in Trump Towers with Don Jr and the slimeball “Greaser”?
    Well, two quotes popped out.
    1) Veselnitskaya alleged in her interview with the AP in downtown Moscow that if Mueller’s team never questions her, it would mean that it “is not working to discover the truth.”
    2) Veselnitskaya dismissed the dossier as “absolute nonsense.” She insisted that Glenn Simpson, whose firm Fusion GPS was hired to compile the dossier and who was questioned by the House Intelligence Committee in January, had been “framed.”

    More Russia, Russia, Russia. 2 quotes:
    1) In a move that reeks of desperation, the DNC filed a civil suit Friday against President Trump’s campaign, Russia and WikiLeaks, alleging a vast (right wing!) conspiracy to tip the election to Trump.
    The suit’s flamboyant charges made headlines, but that only served to obscure the real meaning. Namely, that top Dems are giving up their fantasies that special counsel Robert Mueller will deliver them from political purgatory by getting the goods on Trump.
    The trashy suit is their way of trying to keep impeachment and Russia, Russia, Russia alive for the midterms in case Mueller’s probe comes up empty.
    ——————-
    Don’t let down your guard, Mr. President of the United States. It could be a trap to get you to let your hair down. We know now that McCabe lied, Comey lied, and Rosenstein is a liar.
    2) Truth be told, party leaders are right to be disheartened by setbacks in the War against Trump. For the second time, the president was told he is not a target of Mueller, this time by Rod Rosenstein, the deputy assistant attorney general who created Mueller.
    While Trump could still become a target, the odds of that happening decline by the day.
    The probe started in the summer of 2016 by the FBI, and was taken over by Mueller nearly a year ago. Despite a large, secret budget and a squad of seasoned gunners, many of them Clinton supporters, Mueller hasn’t produced any evidence of a crime by the president.
