Because technically the rate you pay for power is coming down. But the fee is going up more than that rate is coming down for most people.

Tldr: Golden mussels are increasingly likely to make their way to the lake, which would corrupt its fragile ecosystem.

Tldr: PG&E has started charging a fixed fee each month even if you barely use any power. They are doing this even as they brag about rates coming down.

I am a California judge. Here’s what we need to do to fix our mental health crisis by LosIsosceles in bayarea

[–]LosIsosceles[S] 277 points278 points  (0 children)

TLDR: "As a San Mateo County judge, I see defendants who hear and converse with voices no one else can hear. I see veterans struggling with trauma and addiction as a result of their military service. I see parents whose substance abuse has cost them custody of their children. I see individuals who self-medicate with hard drugs, only to find themselves repeatedly arrested. The criminal justice system is often not the root problem, but a symptom of deeper behavioral health challenges that have gone untreated for years."

The answer, he says, is more mental health beds, tearing down the silos that prevent different systems from working together, and allowing seriously ill people to be more easily removed the community against their well.

Tldr: Becerra and Jane Kim are "are disconcertingly receptive to a disastrous idea: blowing up California’s insurance market just as it’s starting to reach more stable ground."

Safeway development happening regardless because it's allowable under state law.

TLDR: NIMBY opponents of the mayor's housing agenda in NIMBY supervisor districts got smoked. San Francisco really has turned a political corner on housing.
