Another instance of "revealed preference" not considering confounding factors. The story here is that a lot of popular products have added AI things somewhere. Not that people prefer products with AI enabled because of such enablement.

American single stair regulations are *not* "written in blood." We know this because the proponents literally wrote that they did it as pretext to ban tenements.
![Early zoning proponents understood how zoning could be used to effectively ban certain housing typologies without having to ban them, simply by making them prohibitively expensive to build. Veiller recommended the use of fire codes for this purpose, because “zoning legislation will no doubt be fought strenuously and perhaps defeated." No one would question the importance of fire safety regulations, even when they were used to achieve other aims:
[D]o everything possible in our laws to encourage the construction of private dwellings and even two- family dwellings, because the two-family house is the next least objectionable type, and penalize so far as we can in our statute, the multiple dwelling of any kind... If we require multiple dwellings to be fireproof, and thus increase the cost of construction; if we require stairs to be fireproofed, even where there are only three families; if we require fire escapes and a host of other things, all dealing with fire protection, we are on safe grounds, because that can be justified as a legitimate exercise of the police power... In our laws let most of the fire provisions relate solely to multiple dwellings, and allow our private houses and two-family houses to be built with no fire protection whatever (NHA Proceedings 1913, 212).
The legacy of this strategy remains evident today. The model building codes used by virtually every U.S. city include one code for most residential and commercial buildings, and a separate, simpler code exclusively for one- and two-family structures.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:navu7ggn7ytkcw5bvb7w35d4/bafkreicztuk3q3m5fxnzh5o76em4h3tk4iajixewhho3no277ptyfgg6ky@jpeg)

Defense also says of the remaining verbs besides assault — impede and interfere — Sandwich Guy actually helped the officers do their duty, to the extent it was “high visibility” crime patrol and prevention. Indeed, they became *more* highly visible when officers arrested him in double digits.

If these rich assholes want to keep their covenant, the city should slap a "pay through the nose for single family home density downtown" area rate on downtown's mansion district.

Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades.
It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate.
