SF spends double any other major city on its fire department, which is just a bunch of emergency response in a giant expensive truck-sized trench coat. We should reform firefighter hiring and pay, reduce the number of fighter fighters, give them smaller vehicles, close down 8 fire stations (of 48!) which see fewer than 3 calls per day, and most importantly, stop blindly Respecting whatever they say about single-stair reforms, lane widths, outdoor dining, etc. My friend reacted to hearing my anti-fire-department screed by asserting that SF firefighters are hot -- I would also support assigning 5% of our firefighters to do PR work at Beaux. They're good with poles.

It’s beautiful 🤩

I just found a veryyyy interesting price cut in Miami Beach 👀 $1.6M off this waterfront home at the tip of guard-gated Hibiscus Island. Now $17.9M. Open bay. Large dock. Rooftop. Insane Miami skyline views. And I actually think the new price is… really good? At this level in Miami Beach, the combination of location + views + waterfront is VERY hard to replicate. Someone is going to get a phenomenal property. DM me to make it yours before your arch nemesis gets it first.

Massive getting to Port Miami right now. "Only" 4 ships in port, approx 18,000 max passengers. Streets downtown jammed up as well as 395 heading towards the beach.

There’s a decent amount of denial about how much worse urban crime was in late-20th century America. If you don’t remember stuff like The Club, removable car stereos, or subway graffiti ask your parents or local LLM.
