Interesting article, and a different way of looking at the housing issues in the Bay Area
"What I find so curious is that here is an issue — helping workers and regions that have been left behind — that holds enormous appeal to supporters of President Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and just about everyone in between. Not coincidentally, it involves regions that are most likely to decide the coming election. Yet none of the presidential candidates — not Democrats, not Trump — is even talking about legacy cities, or industrial policy or regional economic development.
I’d put the case for a more muscular urban and industrial policy this way: If Case and a few billionaire friends are willing to commit hundreds of millions of dollars to redirect investment and growth from a handful of cities with too much to those with too little, shouldn’t the federal government be willing to commit hundreds of billions alongside?"
Shows sometimes, but only item I can recall was a large format edition of Jack Kirby's "The New Gods" (some of his very best work) that sold out rather quickly.
Still can't access from work computer. But today is a work from home day, so I can use two computers! Had to make them stop talking to each other though..
Tough time getting the requisite COVID-19 stuff - hand sanitizer, wipes, etc. On another topic the Bears were skewered by the Ducks last night. We did make a mini-run with 12:01 left in the 2nd half getting within 15 points, but a missed layup plus an Oregon 3 made a five point swing. Put a fork in it.

Went to ReStore to buy a new Keurig. A few months ago they had stacks of them, new in the box.
Nope. All gone.
Missus had to go to BB&B and use 20% coupon. Still $40 more then the asking price at Habitat’s thrift store.
