🧵 Been trying to read more books in general, a hobby I enjoyed immensely when younger & had fallen to the wayside. My tastes run towards Sci-fi, fantasy & general fiction. Many resonate with our current political situation. So, if you’re looking for some inspiration, here’s what I’ve read lately 🧵

City of L.A. looks to delay implementation of SB 79 for certain areas
Earlier this year, Governor Newsom signed SB 79 into law, paving the way for the construction of dense housing near major transit hubs, even when disallowed by local zoning rules. The City of Los Angeles is now looking to develop its own implementation plan for the landmark legislation, potentially taking advantage of numerous carve-outs to delay or blunt its impact.

Not all behavior is misbehavior. Misbehavior (acting out and acting in) is communicating BioPsychoSocial unmet needs.

Something to be thankful for!
Utah's largest coal-fired power plant—the Intermountain Power Project, located in the west desert near Delta and serving southern California—stopped burning coal at mid-day on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. 🔌💡
