You work to avoid kids?

I am with @britt522 here. It is harder to be a teacher of my own kids. If I do have choices, I don’t want to be teacher of them. Both my wife and I felt that being home schooling is actually bad for our relationship with the kids. So yes, I’ll be spending my resources to find some environment they can be safe and able to learn and grow.

Take your kids down the Tenderloin and introduce them to the homeless. Tell them this is where they will end up if they don’t learn.

Restaurants are opening. People are everywhere. Who knows who is a tourist? Collins is an asshole. Never even shows up for council meetings. I know some of the other council members. I will call them. But they have no jurisdiction over long term rentals.

Well somebody’s a Debbie Downer:

I am staying in rural America. Watch the great movies in the past. There is a purity to rural America that urbanites will never understand

Both can coexist wonderfully … no hate for rural America, no hate for urban America

I think there needs to more exchange. I know rich SF elite love their Napa estates. But there is something existential about living and working on the land. Like Thoreau on the beauty of nature. Working with your hands in the dirt brings one closer to god. Especially when you get to eat and drink the fruits of your labor.

Definitely.

People are so disconnected to nature and to those different people.

The birds just decimated one of my cherry trees. In the good old days I could shoot those birds. If I did it today I would be arrested. That is why I am a conservative. The government should have no say on how I feed myself.

This one sold way below normal price. Would have expected somewhere around $1k per foot, but only sold for $780. If Redfin estimate were to be believed, it went all the way back to 2017 price!

Another example. This one in Santa Clara near Montague. Redfin estimate chart looks wacky. Sold below list for 2018 price.
