2% of the retrofits do not need remediation.
No details on the actual issues but much of this sounds like unqualified installers and a lack of QA from the government made for a toxic mix.
Add the complexity of the building science for retrofits....

Almost all external insulation fitted under Tory scheme needs repair or replacing, report finds
Homeowners who took advantage of government programmes left with cladding likely to cause damp

There is no reason the planet needs to be habitable for mammals. It just happens to currently be convenient for them.
That new ballroom will make a decent setting for the trials.
We will need Nuremberg-like trials
ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!
The Barringer Meteorite Crater is wild in person as it is hard to see at the top just how deep it goes down from the existing terrain. Tough to capture on camera but the section shows the uplift. Also its $29 for the tourist treatment.

Housing is too expensive to build and too expensive to afford.

Donald Trump's solution? Make it even MORE expensive with his chaotic tariffs.

Americans can't afford Donald Trump's housing market.

My son’s phone gets taken off him in a mugging last week - no manpower, no investigation. My bike get’s nicked last year - no manpower, no investigation. Some old people silently protesting a genocide holding placards:
Met police arresting peaceful protesters
The city centers are not that car heavy so need to connect dots via alternative methods. There is immense swaths of nearly abandoned tarmac that crosses diverse zoning. (Berkeley fucked their streets by abatements with no alternative transit year ago) Oaklands spoke layout is prime
The AI architecture tool spam is hitting my LinkedIn. Is there a genuine professional use case yet, even to get say door swings right?

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.

All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.

So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!
Got the $150 ebay special insulation blower worked out. Nothing worked but some good old fashioned bypass wiring and tensioning the drive cains and we have some cellulose in the walls.
Are tariffs inflationary? Here me out, lets say wine from France is all of a sudden double California. What's to keep Californian wineries from jacking their price up a little bit or a lot as well just as long as they are less than imported?
It was very exciting to see the Alpen thin glass production line getting set up. They really need to focus on b2b with other window companies and get that price competitive. A huge hole in North America for high performance glass.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were
