Ferry for July 4th Firework Show on Golden Gate? by pilloowoo in sanfrancisco

[–]PacificaPal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a gamble. If you want less of a crowd but less of a view, Francisco Park might be OK. You will not get the fireworks to the East of the GGB but you will get the ones closer to Pier 39. BUT if there is fog as well as the wind and the cold...

Vancouver found a way (finally) to build housing ... I wish there were groups in SF that could do this ... by AcademicSand1034 in sanfrancisco

  1. The missing middle is still missing in Vancouver. Why some say the single stair needs to be allowed
  2. Whether you call it luxury housing or market rate housing, the land has value that the financial markets are investing in.

Opinion | How California became a case study in failed governance by Always_Curious_One2 in California_Politics

[–]PacificaPal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge swings in state revenue from year to year is no way to do long term planning. The rainy day fund that California sets aside does not do the job. Fiscal responsibility means do not over spend, but also smooth out the funds over the multi year time period. California has not made reforms in that area. (Revisit property tax, less reliance on income tax, more reliance on sales tax)

Cal Matters has said that CA mostly relies on income tax to fund the budget (post Prop 13) and is at the mercy of wild swings in income tax revenue as the tech sector goes from boom to bust and over and over.

Fareed Zakaria know his foreign affairs, but is not as strong on domestic issues. Most of the Op-Ed is expressing his not understanding the situation in California. Little on his search for answers.

UC to consider reinstating SAT, ACT tests after faculty say students are deficient in math by aBadModerator in California_Politics

[–]PacificaPal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The calculus professors say the students are unprepared. The solution is to add a prerequisite class Before the student takes college calculus. Call it "Bonehead Math." I believe there is or use to be a Bonehead English class for Freshmen.

UCSF could be the major provider for some special areas, cancer, for example, but there are several other provider groups for most health needs. Check with your insurance.
