I feel the same way and I’m 75.

Hey, isn’t that the People’s house not the Orange Turd’s?

Where’s the 5 lane roads in Arcata?

All of Arcata is built much more like this than like the current version of Central, and has about 11% more people.

Move homeless to white-house ballroom…

Forward thinking might pose the question if physical shops and shopping will be more or less popular in the future? I think less.

Fun

Tiny home villages are a good solution. Shipping containers can make great temp housing

Ryan Burns, thank you for a well-written article.

John is a good guy. He and his crews do good work.

No shit there is empty store fronts in the shopping center already. Can’t afford to start a business in there. More retail space isn’t going to change that. Not to …

when are they going to lock him up. Multiple arrests including assaulting officers, high speed chase and threatening deadly force. Soon somebody is going to use deadly force on this …

I ignored the ad hominem from your last comment, so you up the ante? You’re on here suggesting that a person who published a detailed apology letter is insincere because …

I am concerned for a world in which 75-year-olds are driving semis.

So you’re egotistically arguing a point for the sake of argument, to prove a point entirely irrelevant to the topic this article is about?That’s genuinely pathetic.

I prefer undevoloped nature. If I wanted to live in the bay area I would move there.I suspect they are building what will be a gost town. Our little town …

The issue I have with AI is when, as you mentioned, “there was a real person on the screen.” With AI, you can’t tell if it’s AI or a human. …

Because it’s a way of using reductio at absurdum as a way of testing your premise that using a writing aid to compose an apology necessarily indicates insincerity.

“Realistic” is doing a lot of work as a qualifier

Why are you putting so much emphasis into your retort? Whoever said “beg”? A genuine apology does not equate begging, do not put words into my mouth; you’re giving strong …

I am far from being a NIMBY. I am in favor of realistic infill building. All I am saying is that the cost of a $1M+ fire truck and the …

No, it’s short sighted to base something permanent like building heights on something easily mitigated like “buy a new truck.” You NIMBY’s arguments are so manifestly dumb, it’s hard to …

It’s just whack-a-mole. We know what ends homelessness and addiction: small group homes with on site social services and daily rehabilitation meetings. But they’re incredibly labor intensive and expensive, and …

This is Central Ave. right now; a 5-lane stroad, not good for anyone.EDIT: I’m disappointed the road diet isn’t going all the way down to School Rd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORzNZUeUHAM

Circular reasoning here. If the point is contrition, then write it in calligraphy and beg for forgiveness on your knees. If that’s not the point, but rather it is to …

Again, if you’re sincere, and are genuinely sorry, you feel things, you feel compelled to apologize, you would not be resorting to a program to express your feelings. (Not to …

This guys been picked up about 6 times in the last 2 months for various SoHum/ NorMendo crimes

Glad I don’t live along there. I am sorry for people experiencing medical emergencies, fires, etc. What a gigantic mess.It needs to be monitored. Less than 100 bicycles per day, …

You still have lanes. Don’t be such a baby.

Arcata, most likely. It’ll be faster to go there than deal with any 2-lane Central Ave fiasco.
