It’s nothing new. We’ve been mismanaging water in the West for well over 100 years. West coast salmon used to be the single cheapest source of protein in the US. The fishery was that plentiful. The construction of dams and the misuse of water for things like growing millions of acres of almonds have decimated the salmon fishery. Have you read Cadillac Desert? Even though it was last revised 30 years ago, the message still stands true today.

According to therealtime energy monitor that reads data directly from my meter, my system that involves some recirculating uses 5kW for about 6 minutes per hour just on maintenance cycles. That half kilowatt baseline draw in my system isn't the lowest hanging fruit, since I'd only turn that off a few hours per day.

The real advantage would ge to optimize the scheduling of reheating times. For example it wouldn't be noticeable to users if the water heater waited until 10am to heat new water after 6am showers, and it wouldn't hurt to simply stop heating between 3pm and 10pm. A smart retrofit could maintain different temperature bands depending on the real time price of electricity and anticipated demand.

Problem is turning off the hot water heater doesn't help all that much. Usually the water was already heated before peak hours and the maintenance heating cycles just aren't that much.

>The report addressing the seismic vulnerability of the city's tall buildings comes in the wake of officials' struggle to find answers in the construction flaws of two of San Francisco's premier new structures: The Millennium Tower and the Salesforce Transit Center.

>The former, a 58-story skyscraper, has sunk about 17 inches and tilted 14 inches to the west and six inches to the north since its creation in 2009. The Millennium Tower has had reports of windows cracking as recently as September. The latter, the Salesforce Transit Center, is a $2 billion transbay bus center built in 2016 that was closed in late September after cracks were found in massive support beams.

>They still don't cite the amount of illegal immigrants that want to pay federal taxes vs the amount that don't.

The data doesn't exist for various reasons regarding fear of deportation to complexity of measuring them. That's why they have to estimate.

Here's the vox article again, but ran through something else to make it readable.

If you have some time and an interest in local history, may I recommend Sunset Limited? The history of the Southern Pacific is fascinating, and it's really hard to overstate the impact it had on California.

You should do some research on the issue, especially regarding how judges make their decisions. This book is a good place to start.
