## Day One Chat
    matthewmccullough   Wonderful to see you all here early! Thanks for signing in.
    8:00 AM
    brntbeer    Hi everyone! If anyone has any questions they want to bring up in the chatroom, let me know!
    PHANIDHAR K.    has entered the room
    brntbeer    http://teach.github.com/presentations/git-foundations.html for anyone wanting to follow along
    https://github.com/signup/free
    matthewmccullough   http://mac.github.com
    GUI Only
    http://windows.github.com
    GUI + CLI
    Tom W.  View paste
    on windows I had to execute
    "mkdir .git"
    otherwise I got the "could not lock config file .git/config" error
    brntbeer    Tom Wasiluk: shouldnt need to do that. the only reason you'd get that problem is if you didnt include --global in your configuration setting
    matthewmccullough   git config --global color.ui auto
    Tom W.  yes, I might have started without the --global option
    Jeff C. Once we turn them on - do they stick?
    brntbeer    Jeff Clark: if we set them on global, they'll stick across all projects. but regardless, they're alawys set
    Old T.  What is the command line equivalent for help by command? Such that I could find help on the config command?
    8:25 AM
    brntbeer    `git help config`or just "git help"
    `git help <command>` is how we get the manual for the command
    Jeff C. Where do we get the tree command for Mac's?
    8:30 AM
    brntbeer    on mac, https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew for downloading something like the tree command
    8:35 AM
    Jody    The shopping cart analogy for the staging area is great. I get it now.
    brntbeer    glad to hear it! i love it too
    we use it quite a bit, putting things in, taking things out, etc
    8:40 AM
    brntbeer    The staging area definitely acts like a cart though, multiple changes across multiple files can be added there to give you one solid "transaction" or commit
    nwj what does the text above the coloring indicate?
    Paul C. Can you set --color-words as a global setting?
    8:45 AM
    Old T.  what is the -m option on commit?
    how does diff know which file to diff?
    nwj so for example
    --- a/firest.txt
    Ken D.  View paste
    I'm still stuck on git add, I get (use "git add <file>..." to inlcude what will be committed)

    .first.txt.swp
    .first.ext.swp
    Nothing added to commit but untractked files present (use "git add" to track
    8:50 AM
    brntbeer    Paul Coleman: that can be set as an alias in your git config for making a new command to always give you the color words. i have a command called 'dw" that gives me the diff of words with color-words. i set this by saying `git config --global alias.dw "diff --color-words"
    Ken Deeds: we'll add a way shortly to ensure we dont add those .swp files, sorry about those being there for now! gotta be careful when we do our `git add` to ensure we're not adding those in to our staging area
    9:00 AM
    Old T.  git diff show the difference between?
    9:05 AM
    brntbeer    just `git diff` by itself shows the changes you have in your working directory against the last known change of that file
    PHANIDHAR K.    but the diff "from" is always the working directory
    ?
    Old T.  So if I save a file. Add it. Commit it. And then do a git diff then there is no diff?
    But if I save a file. Add it. And then do a git diff I will see the difference between my last commit and my not yet committed file?
    9:10 AM
    brntbeer    PHANIDHAR KANDALA: it depends on what we ask of it, without any arguments (just saying `git diff`) then yes absoltely
    Old T.  ok. thx.
    matthewmccullough   git config --global alias.lol "log --graph --oneline --decorate --all"
    Old T.  Some discussion on what the head is and what the master is?
    9:15 AM
    brntbeer    HEAD is thought of as just a label for "where was our most recent change"
    Old T.  When you branch then the branch name would replace master?
    ok
    brntbeer    Old Town Creative: definitely!
    9:20 AM
    Paul C. using 1.8.2 it made me use -f to remove
    brntbeer    Paul Coleman: -f on git rm?
    Paul C. yes...but now I see I hadn;t committed..might have something to do with that
    brntbeer    ah, possibly! using -f can be pretty dangerous
    Old T.  Does command shell inherit all system command prompot plus git commands?
    brntbeer    Old Town Creative: on windows or mac?
    Old T.  windows
    brntbeer    it should be just fine to use either command window or Git Bash that is installed when you install github for windows
    Paul C. Yep..it forced -f because I hadn't committed.
    9:25 AM
    duncan  woah robot voice
    Jody    A little fuzzy on this question asked.... 'But if I save a file. Add it. And then do a git diff I will see the difference between my last commit and my not yet committed file'
    Paul C. robot!
    brntbeer    sorry guys!
    duncan  lol
    nwj are there common instances where git add -A . will not follow deletions, renames etc
    Ken D.  Old Town Creatice - was just a directory issue, created project in spot I wasn't expecting, figured it all out
    Daniel G.   It happened two or three times where a file was renamed with only a letter case change, and that file was removed from Git... is this normal, (we are using windows) and how to rename a file if there's only a case change? Thanks!
    George  how do you unindex a file?
    Jody    A little fuzzy on this question asked.... 'But if I save a file. Add it. And then do a git diff I will see the difference between my last commit and my not yet committed file'... wouldn't you have to use git diff --staged ?
    9:30 AM
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: i dont know if the file would have been removed from git. Git may have shown it as a deletion and then a new file created. Once you run a "git rm" on the old file name and "git add" on the new file name, it'll show a rename after the fact
    Daniel G.   (For example: C:\test\tEst.txt --> c:\test\test.txt)
    Thanks!
    Bryan C.    Word of caution: Case sensitive FS on OSX will break most Adobe products
    9:35 AM
    Ken D.  10:47 for return time? Timer is frozen on my screen.
    brntbeer    thats correct. told matthew in text ;)
    Old T.  I am not exactly sure how to ask this question. But I need some context for the git paradigm. We are all comfortable with the OS directory structure. I am having a hard time with the staging notion. I come from a StarTeam background. It seems like the staging adds a dimension of complexity.
    From an instruction standpoint. I think scaffolding on the familiar, i.e. directory structure and then explaining how git hub adds it's world view to that familiar topic would help those of us who are big picture minded sync with git. My two cents.
    Anthony A little off topic: which variation of Finder was used on screen?
    Old T.  I think it is a great idea having one person field the chat while the other moves through content.
    9:50 AM
    Jeff C. Perhaps a really silly question: The working project is selected by which directory I am in at the command line? I don't "open" a project?
    10:05 AM
    Paul C. Can you add a file that's in the ignore list? If you do what happens? #breakingthings
    brntbeer    haha Paul Coleman. you can force it, but generally i just remove it from the ignore and then add it
    love the questions!
    10:10 AM
    Randall V.  What is the pattern to ignore Finder .DS_Store files?
    brntbeer    matthew beat me to it! you can just mention ".DS_Store" literally
    Paul C. Can you use regex?
    brntbeer    Paul Coleman: not exactly. you can use glob patterns however. i find that's definitely good enough since my ignore behavior is for only a few things
    like an entire directory could be ignored, or an entire directorythat has files ending in ".build" like: builds/*.build
    or "logs/*.build", you get the idea ;)
    Paul C. Makes sense
    10:20 AM
    Daniel G.   View paste
    These target folders should be ignored:

    <git repo>/folder1/integration/folderA/target/
    <git repo>/folder1/integration/folderB/target/
    <git repo>/folder2/integration/folderA/target/
    <git repo>/folder3/integration/folderA/target/

    Therefore we added this in the .gitignore file, but without luck:

    integration/*/target/
    (in the parent folder)
    Ken D.  if you can add the "subfolder/filename" to the root .gitignore is there a reason to make a separate .gitignore in the subfolder directory?
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: that seems like those are folders. you can't ignore a folder specifically, only the files inside of folders
    Ken Deeds: definitely, especially around different languages having different files they may auto-generate
    so sometimes you'd want to ignore a file and not on another
    Ken D.  k, got it
    10:25 AM
    matthewmccullough   https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld
    10:30 AM
    Jeff C. "Pull" implies, well, a pull. Can the Teacher pull them all?
    brntbeer    We clicked fork on the teacher's project, which created a copy to our username that we can edit. made the edit, and then clicked "pull request" to propose this change back to the teacher
    Jeff Clark: one at a time, certainly
    10:35 AM
    matthewmccullough   https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld/pulls
    Jeff C. Now - but our forks are now obsolete?
    10:40 AM
    brntbeer    Jeff Clark: we'll definitely be showing how to keep your fork up to date! this may happen tomorrow or here in the next 20 minutes. but easily doable
    nwj is pull request functionality built into git, or is it unique to github
    10:45 AM
    brntbeer    its a GitHub only thing
    Daniel G.   brntbeer: to solve this, we added .gitignore files in each and every subfolders, each containing the "/target" folder. Any way to set that in the parent .gitignore file ?
    matthewmccullough   https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld/
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: interesting! give me a second to test something locally =)
    Randall V.  Can you see who has cloned something?
    10:50 AM
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: so, if we look at this situation of "ignore all things under the target directory" like this: http://cl.ly/image/3F0t1m2j1g2t
    we can create an ignore rule like this:
    View paste
    folder*/integration/folder*/target/*
    wherein i say "any folder starting with the name "folder", integration, another folder named starting with "folder" and target, then all things in target
    we can now see http://cl.ly/image/0M2t0h3x1B20
    the only change is the .gitignore file
    so because the ignore ignores all things in that target folder, the folder itself wont be checked into git
    hope that clears it up a bit!
    Daniel G.   Will try that, thanks!

    Randall V.  Question for tomorrow: How to setup a git server internally
    Old T.  A little more on the branch view? Is your finder showing actual file system files / dirs?
    Tom W.  If I accidentally push a password to my repository, is there any way to remove that action from the history of changes?
    RyanG   Will tomorrow cover working with multiple branches and a workflow for stashing files?
    Daniel G.   dgiguere-erpguru
    brntbeer    Tom Wasiluk: the best move in that situation is to just change your password. i take the thought of "if its on the internet for 1 second, it could be grabbed by someone"
    John L. jluu
    brntbeer    RyanG: definitely!
    RyanG   awesome, thanks
    11:00 AM
    brntbeer    Old Town Creative: we'll be showing more branching tomorrow for sure.

## Day Two Chat

    matthewmccullough   Ready to start Day #2!
    Jeff C. Can you publish the new build for the integrated GitHub and Git command line install for windows? One of my colleagues didn't get the link yesterday
    Sorry - the link for it.
    nwj http://windows.github.com/
    d/l link is top right
    brntbeer    to copy this down to your laptop via the terminal: `git clone https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld.git hgwteacher`
    i've typed this, as matthew did, in his scratch directory, this is just a directory we do our work in
    it also creates the folder called "hgwteacher"
    so, once we run the clone command, we can type "cd hgwteacher"
    8:10 AM
    Paul C. Do the changes we make on a file that's in both branches appear in both branches or is this essentially a difference in what files are there?
    Old T.  can you give a 10 sec explanation of how that works, maybe a bit on how the repository actually works and tracks.
    nwj what does the -u flag do?
    8:15 AM
    Old T.  nwj...i found how to get help.....git help push
    For all options on any command.
    nwj nice thx
    brntbeer    Old T.: the separate branches work in the sense that every branch can say "who is my parent commit?" so this allows us to walk through the graph structure. the branching is just a label to one of these commits, and as we move off to a different branch, the commits are tied to a different label
    so the "master" label points to a previous commit in history, and matthewfeature1 points to a differentone as we start branching off and making more changes
    PHANIDHAR K.    i am seeing my feature txt file in both the master and branch
    what mistake i would have done
    i tried deleting and recreating only in my feature branch but still could see it in master
    brntbeer    PHANIDHAR KANDALA: yes, thats because it was created in the master branch before you branched
    so, because you started a new branch from a point in history when that file already existed, your branch has that as well
    Old T.  I don't think I understand the notion of a 'parent commit'.
    brntbeer    i'll get matthew to do a loglive on the side to show this concept better.
    8:20 AM
    rdog    What happens if 2 different users call a branch the same name and push?
    brntbeer    rdog: it'll say that branch already exists and that they should pull it, and when they pull, it'll probably create a merge conflict
    rdog    gotcha, thanks
    brntbeer    which, is something we'll see today absolutely
    nwj i'm getting a 403 error when trying to push my branch
    and on an older version of git so cc-off is not a recognized command
    Bryan C.    pushed!
    nwj kk
    brntbeer    nwj: can you type "git remote -v" for me real quick as well?
    nwj View paste
    $ git remote -v
    origin  https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld.git (fetch)
    origin  https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld.git (push)
    brntbeer    and what is your username on github?
    nwj nwj
    https://github.com/nwj
    matthewmccullough   https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld/pulls
    8:25 AM
    matthewmccullough   git config --unset --global credential.helper
    Ken D.  in git --help I can't find graphlive
    matthewmccullough   https://github.com/matthewmccullough/scripts/
    Ken D.  ty
    brntbeer    the graphlive is somethign we just use for demonstrative purposes. it'll be running live on the side there for a while so i hope when running it it doesnt trip people up for today =)
    nwj unset the credential
    still 403 error
    brntbeer    nwj: can i see a `git --version`
    nwj version is 1.7.1
    so pretty old
    brntbeer    are your ssh keys published on github.com?
    nwj let me check
    brntbeer    just checking in the background, i see that you have an arch laptop and desktop one, but also a lenovoLaptop one
    so, depends which laptop you're on now, btu i think we're going to be good to go if you're on one of those computers
    8:30 AM
    nwj setting up new key
    since it's a different computer
    will take me a sec
    brntbeer    ok. let me know if you need any help with that. our docs are pretttty good about that
    Paul C. Oops...I changed fix.txt as well.
    nwj ok, i have a key up now
    it's the one labeled for git training
    brntbeer    nwj: awesome. now we just have to set a different remote url
    8:35 AM
    brntbeer    nwj: type `git remote set-url origin git@github.com:githubteacher/hellogitworld.git`
    matthewmccullough   https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld/pulls
    brntbeer    and verify this works by doing a "git remote -v" again
    nwj kk just pushed up
    thanks
    brntbeer    success!
    Paul C. Ha
    PHANIDHAR K.    i am getting master is already up-to-date with kandaalafeature1
    8:40 AM
    PHANIDHAR K.    when tried a pull request
    brntbeer    nwj: which OS are you on? just curious
    PHANIDHAR KANDALA: that's becasue kandaalafeature1 and master have the same commits on them, we need to make a new commit once we're on that kandaalafeature1 branch
    nwj running git in a centos vm
    on windows
    so an odd environment...
    brntbeer    to verify we're on the correct branch, we can run "git branch" to see which branch is *'d
    then making a commit on that branch, then doing a `git push -u origin kandaalafeature1`
    we'll have a chance to do that PR
    i see nwj, makes it more difficult to get up to date! haha
    8:45 AM
    Kevin H.    will a fetch overwrite changes to my branch if I haven't pushed yet?
    Randall Are you current edits shelved somewhere when you do a pull?
    brntbeer    fetches will only update the understanding of what's on github.com (since our remote called origin is set for github.com)
    so we update that "origin/BRANCHNAME" branch, and if we want to later, we can say `git merge origin/BRANCHNAME` when we're on our local BRANCHNAME
    so fetch doesnt overwrite your things since they're two different branches
    Kevin H.    got it thx
    brntbeer    a pull is a fetch+merge of liked named branches, so long as we originally did a "git push -u origin BRANCHNAME" when we were createing the branch
    Old T.  Would you typically have only one developer working on a branch?
    brntbeer    the -u can be used at any time, by the way
    just ensures tracking
    Old T.: totally a workflow question. that can be the case, but not necessarily forced
    Old T.  ok, it seems if you did have one user per branch then fetch is of limited value?
    8:50 AM
    Old T.  I would just pull on master to get copy of current and I have the local copy of my branch already to work offline.?
    matthewmccullough   https://github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld/pulls
    8:55 AM
    brntbeer    Old T.: possibly, but as a social standpoint, you can see where your friends are working on, so you could coordinate when things are going into master for example
    Old T.: doing a pull updates everything locally, right
    Kevin H.    Are there ways to diff branches to see where you overlap?
    Old T.  updates the branch I am working on be it master or mine.
    Daniel G.   For big projects, 40-member teams, closed source projects, what's the best practice (is it possible to avoid pulling (merging) all the repository before pushing?)
    brntbeer    Old T.: depends on what you say in the "git pull" if you just say "git pull origin" it's just going to update all your tracking branches. so it could update a bunch of branches. a fetch keeps the process to the remote tracking branches (origin/BRANCHNAME)
    Kevin Houk: absolutely. lets make matthew do that =)
    Daniel G.   e.g. when modifying only a single line in a single file
    9:00 AM
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: "best practice" is kind of tough because it's personal preferences =)
    9:05 AM
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: hope this little walkthrough is useful! let me know if you want more examples of a workflow
    Jody    It's great.
    9:10 AM
    Daniel G.   What's the good workflow to communicate to team (Commits -> Pull -> Fix conflicts -> Push) ?
    Old T.  has left the room
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: yeah, you could comment on github.com and say "hey, @USERNAME, could you fix your conflicts locally and re-push them?"
    thats how we work on them
    Daniel G.   brntbeer: I meant, what's the workflow employees should use day-to-day
    Kevin H.    Any advice on branching to your personal repo (khouk31 for me) vs using branches in a project?
    Daniel G.   (We're using Git & GitHub using eGit and we lost many files 3-4 times. that's why.. missing communication to our team :) But the training is very good, we can figure out afterwards I guess
    9:15 AM
    Ryan    Could you comment on deleting branches (i.e. "Pull request merged - the $branchname branch can be deleted safely.")
    nwj you monsters, what have you done to brent?
    brntbeer    Daniel Giguere: also, you could ask us over at https://github.com/githubtraining/feedback by filing an issue. that'd be an amazing place to look at past issues (on questions asked) or file a new issue?
    Daniel G.   Thanks

    Evan    Pull requests show up in the "Issues" list. If we already have an issue for a feature, that means we have two items covering the same issue, and it's lead to confusion before. Is there a way around that duplication?
    brntbeer    Ryan: yep! that's just going to delete the branch on github.com, not your local branch. if you want to remove your local branch to reflect the web, you can say "git remote prune origin"
    Evan: absolutely. you can comment on the PR to link it to the issue. one sec while i set this up
    we can see on this issue: https://github.com/github/training.github.com/i...
    that i referenced it from another pull-request, which added that comment at https://github.com/github/training.github.com/i...
    Evan    Thanks
    9:25 AM
    brntbeer    and, furthermore, on your PR, if you had a commit with a message that said "closes #ISSUENUMBER" it could close taht issue once the merge into master happened
    as shown in https://github.com/blog/1439-closing-issues-across-repositories
    Evan    Spiffy - thank you!
    brntbeer    and https://github.com/blog/1386-closing-issues-via-commit-messages
    so, across projects, or within the same project
    merits more online material to bring preference to those workflow things =)
    Evan    A bit off topic: what's that terminal with the split panes?

    why don't all the branches show up in my github account under hellogitworld?
    brntbeer    George: as long as you're viewing github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld they should. they wouldnt appear under your account beacuse we're collaborating on the teacher's repository
    9:30 AM
    George  so the new branch george1 that I created locally will only appear under githubteacher? \
    How do I push that into my github account?
    9:35 AM
    brntbeer    George: if you created it on the hgwteacher project that we're all working in, a "git push -u origin george1" would push that to the github.com/githubteacher/hellogitworld project
    George  Ok, thanks

    nwj is there a way to do that selective commit from command line? cherrypick?
    Jeff C. in the gui - how did you select the .gitignore file?
    nwj also how does the gui handle conflicts?
    9:50 AM
    brntbeer    nwj: absolutely, you can select and stage separate lines from the command line by doing a "git add -p -- FILENAME" more details on the -p flag in `git help add` or `git help commit`. definitely a more advance feature though. gui will handle conflicts by saying "CONFLICT" instead of that "NEW" file notification we saw, we generally resolve it in the same way, but you could select separate lines like we did to resolve the conflict (and not commit the merge markers like "<<<<" and ">>>>")
    Jeff Clark any edits to the file under the setting and then "save" create that file if it doesnt exist yet. otherwise you could click the checkbox to say to commit that or not
    9:55 AM
    Randall What is the root directory on the local filesystem when you clone in the GUI?
    brntbeer    Randall: it will open the gui and will depend where your other projects are. its a setting of the gui
    10:00 AM
    Kevin H.    What if the upstream is now ahead? Does it reset it to the latest commit?
    brntbeer    it'd reset it to the latest there, absolutely
    10:10 AM
    Daniel G.   Out of curiosity, will we cover what's a fast-forward vs non-fast-forward merge
    brntbeer    great timing! yes.
    a fast forward is the idea of "nothing additional things happened since i branched off here"
    10:15 AM
    brntbeer    so the idea of the branch was only in case of mistakes and if you needed to throw it out
    10:25 AM
    Bryan C.    Shouldn't d19 and e69 change?
    brntbeer    yes, that's a good point ;)

    nwj View paste
    so you have a branch that's out of date and needs to be brought in line with master before merging in. 2 options are:
    1. pull changes from master prior to merging back
    2. rebase

    why do one vs. the other? is it just personal preference?
    Dan G.  has left the room
    brntbeer    Definitely personal preference, the first workflow you're specifying is "git checkout master && git pull origin master" to update master branch, then: "git checkout feature1 && git merge master". this updates feature1 with changes to master. when we're ready we can switch back to master and merge it back in: "git checkout master && git merge feature1"
    10:35 AM
    brntbeer    number2 involves also updating master with the "git checkout master && git pull origin master" but on our branch we switch to, we can say "git checkout feature1 && git rebase master" and then a "git checkout master && git merge feature1" is going to be a fast-forward (ff) merge and look as though there's no differences
    At the end of the day, both result in the same things, one may be easier to follow...but if you're not looking back at history all the time, it doesnt matter

If you walked down Bay Ave to the Farmer's Market you probably noticed this in the building on Bay Ave between Waterwitch and Huddy.
The last thing we need in Highlands is more transient housing. "Luxury" apartments become "run down" apartments in no time. We need more full time residents with a vested interest in maintaining their property. This would mean only one absentee landlord.
I would much rather have a hardware store on that corner than luxury apartments. People who go for luxury rentals or purchases want services and Highlands doesn't have them so these people will spend their money elsewhere. If only the Highlands government would actively pursue businesses to attract the money that our mayor seems to desire and give those residents who have come back a decrease in our tax burden, then those affluent people will follow.
Or, they may bring the town up and spend a lot of money dining here.
Our government AND the HBP need to actively pursue ANYONE that wants to do business in this town. I'm hearing that Penelope (the clothing peddler) is being given a hard time and being told that this is not what Highlands wants. I'm angry that one person thinks they can speak for the entire town.
As one resident, I want ANYONE willing to come to this town to be able to do business. Especially those that jump through all our hoops and red tape and is in business legally. We should be welcoming all peddlers to Highlands in hopes that the more successful ones see that having a business in this town *is* viable and maybe, just maybe, they'll be willing to open in one of our vacant store fronts.
After the past couple of weeks I'm beginning to think the HBP should be renamed the HABP: Highlands Anti-Business Partnership.
Who says that's not what the town wants? Looks like the town was liking her to me!
I just ran into Penelope this weekend at the farmers market. She had great merchandise and priced well! I'd rather shop locally than go to mall, grove, etc.
Good news! The council is looking into increasing the number of peddlers licenses available in town. I can't way to see what comes next!
I think a hardware store is a great idea. Also understand that with luxury living services are wanted. Perhaps this is a way to get more like minded people working to make a change.
Will these be rentals or condos?
it says retail space 4 luxury apartments. Maybe it would be a good idea to look into this. Take a look across the street on bay Ave and all you see is a vacant lot and what i think are old army barracks. What looks better? If some body wants to invest in this town( taxes) why not let them?
I hope that the get cool retail and maybe that means there is a plan for the old Penta's apartments.(army barracks). I think it would be great idea to build an indoor/outdoor flee market(like tents in Union Square) on that lot of land.It would bring in unique artisans that people might draw people to Highlands. Maybe have talent on weekends even in winter.
For those not familiar with Union Square Holiday Tent market(something like this.
You pretty much know the answer – NEW people. With money. BAD!!!!
The issue for this project is that they are providing no parking. 6 residential units would need 12 parking spaces, plus spaces for the businesses. It is a very intensive development for the location. How will the cafe feel with the curb spaces occupied overnight by residential parking. The new restaurant isn't going to like parking alongside their building. Highlands Blog: Conduct a survey of the businesses already established see how they feel about the parking.
The building does look nice and its within existing uses. Nobody denies that. But this is why open dialogue is very important. "Parking" is the hold up. Good to know now we can work on a solution. By the council shrugging and putting it off on zoning like they no nothing is more than irritating. The owners of the lots across the street are paying taxes on land that isn't being used and from what I can tell hasn't had anything thing there for 20 years. If *someone* talked to them and had them turn it into Parking, they could rent out one lot to the "new building" and one to the town. At a minimum they would make money to pay the tax outlay they already incur. And if that's not an option, there are many other smart people in town that might be able to figure out something. – It all starts with dialogue and transparency.
Also it would be good to know, how the existing building handled parking. Especially when it was a hardware store and had active tenants.
The hardware store and its 2 residential rentals existed for a long time. Probably were "grandfathered" into zoning, certainly didn't represent an intensive use, therefore never really presented problems, except with the 42 cats in one apartment!! The points you raise about the empty lots are valid, but the town could never "initiate" the discussions, they only could be in a position of approving something. It really would be in the applicant's best interests to work out how he is handling the parking issue, such as agreements with owners of the empty lots, before he comes before the ZB. It is unfortunate, IMHO, that the applicant has an application in front of the zoning board (because of the variances he needs). The ZB can only rule on his application, as presented, yes or no. If he went to the PB, they can negotiate with the applicant, maybe reduce the intensity, and come to an agreement. ZB really can't do that.
Ok, a few questions, a) I've seen 4 apartments and 6 apartments, how do I get the real number? b) Is the next step with this guy the zoning or planing board? and when are they meeting so I can get the businesses in that area to show up and support him c) Parking who's issue is this really? ZB, PB, Council, HBP?
I would hope that parking is everyone's issue. First, I would see if the the developer can get the land owners to lease it to him as parking. I would assume it would be private parking and that his cost to lease the land would be built into the rent he charges his tenants. Second, we have to find out if those lots are zoned for parking. It seems silly to type that, but this is Highlands and stuff like this seems to happen quite often. This is where everyone else comes in: zoning, planning, and council. If this is not zoned for parking lots then what needs to happen to change that? A zoning variance? A change in the zoning ordinance?
As for the town using a parcel for municipal parking, we just can't afford it at this point. There is parking next to Havana and parking next to the skate park and plenty of parking around the park. People will just have to get used to walking a little more.
If using those vacant lots for parking is a no-go and there is a concern of new residents using Waterwitch for parking, then maybe we make the parking on Waterwitch between Shore and Bay 10 minutes only. This gives the businesses the short term parking they need and while still leaving residents plenty of space to park on the streets.
Applicant is scheduled for next ZB meeting, 9/4. He's asking for 6 apartments and 3 commercial spaces on ground floor. Parking is a zoning requirement, he needs to provide 15 for residential +11 for business, he needs variances for density: an extra floor for residential, only one allowed; 4 apts less than min req. 1000sf; various other bulk variances. I'll be surprised if the other businesses are ok with project. Maybe the café is ok, but not flower shop or Kranky.
Maybe you should talk to the other business owners before you speak on their behalf. You know what they say about "assuming".
Nolongernew comments are right on. The Penta property is not zoned for parking lot. No where on Bay is zoned for parking lot. It is a singularly unattractive use for such a prominent location. Technically, the project's residents could use town parking by Havana, but experience tells me that they'll fill up Waterwich/Bay first. And those spots need to be reserved for commercial uses.
Restricting parking around the site to 2 hrs max, no overnight, ala AH first Ave, could work, but applicant needs to approach town and start dialog. I doubt he'd be able to get approval subject to the town making the change in parking unless the town gets on board and makes that known to the ZB. From my point of view, this is a role the HBP should play, to advocate for new businesses, help them navigate the ZB/PB processes. Our HBP doesn't do this.
Perhaps the developer would consider purchasing boarded up building next door on Bay , knock it down to create parking with a decorative fence up on Bay and entrance on Huddy? That would work but obviously both parties would need to work out a reasonable deal.
Or landscaping on Bay instead of fence so parking is not visable from Bay as they did near condos by Seastreak so they are not facing parking lot?
Claddah and Chilango both have lots that are open. Are they grandfathered in?
What would be the definition of grandfathered parking whether it be business or residential? Is there a specific ordinance that pertains to this?
all on Bay Ave. How can Bay Ave NOT be zoned for parking lots.
Everyone is making good suggestions, but the applicant needs to understand that he has to supply the answers to the ZB. I hope his attorney is experienced and will not let the applicant appear before the ZB without solid answers. "I plan on approaching the property owner across the street and see if I can use his property" will not satisfy the ZB needs. A contract/agreement with that property owner will satisfy the ZB.
Carolyn: Both those businesses own the parking areas, so the whole property is a business use, including parking, which would be an accessory use. I think the prohibition applies to a business doing parking only use, not to the accessory use as is the case for Chilango's and Claddagh. I do have to hedge my comments a little though. I couldn't find the no parking lot on Bay Ave in our ordinances. I'm still looking.
Also, the town could waive the parking requirements for the BUSINESS component of the project, IF the applicant can prove sufficient municipal parking within 1000 ft of his project. Not sure how far is the Havana lot from him. There is no getting around the residential parking requirement, though.
Wow …. back to the 'You-can't-get-there-from-here' disease in Highlands! I am still stuck on the 15 parking spaces for 6 apartments? Isn't the requirement 2 per residential – giving you 12? As to parking … as highlansblog replied there is a municipal parking lot 1/2 block away. New parking signs and time limits make a lot of sense … but that's controlled by the town and not by any business or property owner.
Why would businesses on Waterwitch be opposed to more retail???? Wouldn't that increase their draw of potential customers as other businesses begin to successfully operate? And isn't this developer already the landlord of Kranky's? As a successful business I would be glad knowing that there are additional retail units right next to my current location that I could entertain expanding to …. and get this! The same landlord!… not many businesses can expand leased space without moving their location.
I'm dumbfounded that all the proper solutions for a better Highlands is now on a property owner to initiate – just so the town can address and correct all the zoning and master plan elements that has kept Highlands as an abandoned blight area.

Chris what is your problem? Why are you so against new development ? The builder does not need the PB. He is working with the ZB for what he needs and for what would be best for the town. His lawyer is outstanding and understands the facts so that everyone will win.

These are fantastic quality Czech Army surplus trousers in a dark olive green. These hard wearing trousers feature a pair of waist pockets, a pair of cargo pockets as well as a pair pockets on the reverse. The trousers have belt loops and a button up fly.
These are great quality trousers which are perfect for a whole host of outdoor activities.
Due to the surplus nature of these trousers some variation in design, colour and quality should be expected.


Italy's biggest bank, UniCredit SpA, has announced that it is to sell asset manager Pioneer to French fund management firm Amundi in a deal worth $3.75bn.
According to the terms of the deal, Amundi will finance the acquisition through a combination of a €1.4bn capital increase, around €600m of senior subordinated debt and about €1.5bn in existing capital. UniCredit will also receive an extraordinary dividend of €315m from Pioneer before the deal is completed. The dividend will take the total value of the transaction to around $4.10bn. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2017.
"Thanks to a long term distribution agreement, UniCredit's customers will have access to an extended range of quality products and services whilst the Group will reap the benefit of additional fee income from expected increased sales," UniCredit chief executive Jean Pierre Mustier said in a statement. "The transaction means Italy becomes Amundi's second largest domestic market and Amundi will turn Milan into one of its core investment hubs, creating new jobs and ensuring close proximity to UniCredit, our teams and clients."
The sale of the Amundi unit is the latest in a series of moves by UniCredit to divest some of its holdings, and to shore up its balance sheet. In July, the company agreed to sell its 32.8 percent stake in Pekao bank in Poland to state-owned insurance group PZU for around $2.6bn. UniCredit also sold a 30 percent stake in FinecoBank SpA in October for around £2bn.
UniCredit, under the leadership of the new chief executive Jean Pierre Mustier, is expected to launch a new share sale this week, with the hope of raising around €13bn. UniCredit's recent financial difficulties are allegorical of the wider Italian banking sector, which has been experiencing considerable difficulty for some time.
Through the acquisition of Pioneer, which manages around £186bn worth of assets, Amundi expects to generate around €150m in full-year cost synergies within three years as it merges investment platforms and streamlines support functions. The company also expects the acquisition to boost its revenue by €30m.

Diageo boss calls for balanced reporting on Africa's opportunities and risks
It is important for the media to paint an accurate picture of Africa's business environment, both the opportunities and risks, says Nick Blazquez, president of Diageo Africa.
Nick Blazquez
While Blazquez is positive about the future of the continent, he believes that there is a need to be aware of the risks and challenges. "We share this optimism about the future growth of Africa, [but] there remain some difficult challenges to overcome. Infrastructure is still underdeveloped. There is a need for good communications . . . [and] access to affordable and reliable energy. The regulatory environment remains bureaucratic and somewhat unpredictable in many areas, leading to . . . volatile legislative and tax and tariff agreements. This is compounded by a shortage of skills and talent. But despite all of that, it is improving, and there are plenty of opportunities for growth," he noted.
Blazquez was speaking at the recent Diageo-sponsored 2011 Africa Business Reporting Awards ceremony in London.
He said that as the financial crisis has taken hold of the global economy, so there is a surge of interest in Africa, with increased attention, focus, and investment from across the world. "The fundamentals are strong. African economies are predicted to outpace their Asian counterparts in the next five years . . . creating business and investment opportunities that are among the best in the world."
Diageo's Africa business comprises primarily beer and spirits brands that are sold in more than 40 countries. The company's brands include Guinness, Tusker, Senator Keg, Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky, Smirnoff vodka, Baileys and Gilbeys gin.
According to Blazquez, Diageo Africa has witnessed accelerating momentum on the continent. "Not only have we [seen] great growth in our businesses, but we also experienced significant increased interest in what we do and are also experiencing a lot more competition from other companies coming into our markets. We welcome all of this. Africa is a great place to do business."
He, however, warned that perceptions about Africa remain fragile. "The conflict in Côte d'Ivoire, inflation, escalating food prices, as well fear that the [political turmoil] in North Africa and the Middle East could spread to sub-Saharan Africa, have raised caution among some investors. This creates an even greater need for this balanced reporting," he noted.

Video - NYCC 2014 Panel "Granddaughters of the Comic Book Revolution: The Golden Age Lives!"
This fall has been rather eventful for me, convention-wise. Last month I spoke at Wizard World Nashville about romance comics and my grandfather, Golden Age creator and artist, Mart Nodell. When I was asked to be on a panel at the New York City Comic Con along with other comic book grandkids in a panel titled "Granddaughters of the Comic Book Revolution: The Golden Age Lives!" I was pretty bummed that I wasn't going to be able to attend. Luckily, Travis Langley (panel moderator) graciously arranged for me to participate in the panel via Skype where I joined the other wonderful and affable panelists, Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson, Chelle Mayer, and Athena Finger in a lively discussion about our grandfathers and our own work in the comic book industry. Thankfully, audience member, Lawrence Brenner was kind enough to film the panel, and I've put the first part here for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Water times three | Pop. Life.
I have to list the latest, my dears.
1. I keep forgetting to hydrate this week, which is making me sleeeeeeeeeeepy and low energy all day long. I used to have a coworker who would always whisper to himself audibly "water water waterrrrr" before running off to find his water bottle. Like, every single time. Water water waterrrr. Three in a row. I find it weird but yet he was not walking around like a sleepy dope so whatever works, dude.
2. Also, I have been feeling extra grumpy. I think maybe water is important or something? Maybe science could look into it.
3. One of my mom's best friends' daughter was in town for a conference so we met up to hang out. We have talked on the phone but never seen each other in person. I feel like this is a phenomenon that doesn't get talked about– when you become friends with people based on the fact that your parents are friends. Does anyone else do this? Maybe it's not a thing.
4. Fixy stopped by my work today quite unexpectedly. That was lovely.
5. I recently learned that some people consider any beverage with bubbles in it "spicy." I would like to register a complaint about this in triplicate.
I need to get a life, because I clicked K8's link, and I found that song actually very interesting from a musical standpoint — the unusual chord progression at the end. The first time my daughter Mara tried a sip of my root beer when she was little, she was disturbed by the carbonation fizzing up at her nose, and the word she used to describe this was "picy" (for "spicy"), which I naturally found adorable. Later, my younger daughter Millie would use "spicy" to complain about my beard tickling her face when I kissed her. So, just…I won't be standing with you in the teeth of whatever oppression you're experiencing from that usage.
I should have been clear that adorable little children are exempt from my bubble water complaints!


How can I teach gliding to an 8 year old girl who is afraid to push off from the wall or bottom in shallow water. She won't extend her legs to lay out in the water to float for the glide?
Thanks for getting in touch. I had the exact same problem only a few weeks ago. A young lad I was teaching was too afraid to push from the side and glide.
The bottom line is that they have no confidence with floating and therefore think they are going to sink like a stone. Even if they are able to swim a little, they think that they remain at the surface because they are using their arms and legs to swim (which is partly true) and therefore the thought of moving through the water without using their arms and legs is a very scary one.
To overcome this she first needs to know that she can float, without moving anywhere. The 'star float' is usually the best one. Arms and legs wide in the shape of a star, breath held and face down. Give her some support by holding her hands or arms if she is still scared, then gradually let go a few times until she is confident to float there face down for 5 seconds or more.
Then perform it again but as she is holding her breath face down, gently pull her along, very slowly so she can experience how it feels to be floating but moving through the water. Pull her gently and let go so she floats along without your support.
As she becomes more confident you can progress to a long stretched out body shape, as you would for a glide and then help her to float along, slowly at first. This might take some practice to gain her confidence because the long think body shape is less stable than the star shape.
As confidence grows she should be more inclined to perform this herself from the pool side, maybe with you supporting her at first.
You might be able to get though these stages in one lesson or it might take a few lessons. It just depends on her level of confidence as you go along.
I hope this helps and I wish you every success.

Parrett: "We can battle with the best in the league"
Gills midfielder frustrated as Peterborough battle back from 2-1 down to win 4-2 at Priestfield.
Henry Collier
Positives to take, says Parrett.
Gillingham midfielder Dean Parrett says positives can be taken from the 4-2 defeat at home to Peterborough.
Summer signing Parrett, who was given the man-of- the-match award, was left frustrated that Gills' efforts were left unrewarded on Saturday afternoon.
Callum Reilly and Mark Byrne had scored to put the Gills 2-1 ahead but three second half goals from the Posh meant it was the visitors who left Kent with all three points.
He said: "I'm very frustrated – I thought we played really well in spells but just got caught out a couple of times on the counter, we have to take positives from this game – they're a good team and we've shown we can battle with the best teams."
Parrett was a threat all game for Gills and was given a free role in the midfield diamond as Gills went about returning to their scoring form that they were showing at the beginning of the season.
He added: "I wanted to try and create and add a few driving runs through the midfield and see if they wanted to defend – I got a little bit of joy."
Despite the defeat, Parrett thought it was a much more disciplined Gills performance.
He said: "I felt that we didn't go away from our game plan, we played the ball around as much as we could – and we've created chances, that's the main thing."
After drawing blanks in their previous two outings Parrett was pleased for Gills to get on the scoresheet, especially as they came from fellow midfielders – a trait which Parrett believes is crucial.
He said: "Now we have scored a couple of goals hopefully the floodgates will open – we've got goals all over the team and that showed today with Byrner and Callum getting on the scoresheet."
The win took Peterborough back to the top of the table and Parrett believes the way that the Gills competed with the Posh shows the potential of the squad.
He said: "It shows that we can battle with the best in the league – they are one of the best in the league at the moment – you've got to be positive about it."

The Bay Area was California's transit mecca. Now car-crazy LA has more train and bus riders
By Eliyahu Kamisher, The Mercury News
Published: September 5, 2022, 6:03am
People ride BART from the West Oakland BART Station in Oakland, California, on Friday, March 11, 2022. (Shae Hammond/Bay Area News Group/TNS)
When Los Angeles shuttered its last streetcar in 1963, the Bay Area was already planting the seeds of BART, the expansive rail system that embodies a common refrain in the longstanding competition between Southern and Northern California: Angelenos are gas-guzzlers stuck in parking-lot traffic, while the Bay Area has built an enviable transit network.
But over the past two and a half years, the Bay Area's claim to California's mass transit throne has been deeply eroded, if not undone. L.A. now has more people riding buses, light rails and trains than the Bay Area. And even when accounting for the Bay Area's far smaller population, L.A.'s per-capita transit ridership temporarily surpassed its Northern California neighbor for the first time in at least two decades.
How big was the turnaround? In 2019, transit riders in six Bay Area counties took 43 million more trips than L.A. County, which is over a third larger by population. But in 2021, Los Angeles racked up over 83 million more transit trips than the Bay Area – a staggering threefold reversal, according to a Bay Area News Group analysis of federal data for the two regions' largest transit agencies.
It's a titanic shift starting in the depths of the pandemic that could remake California's transit landscape. With the Bay Area's once thriving commuter-heavy trains suffering some of the country's biggest passenger losses and Los Angeles' bus riders propelling a surprising ridership recovery in Southern California, the state's two biggest metro regions are now living test cases for mass transit's role in a post-pandemic future.
At the heart of the upheaval is a question that will define the state's transit planning for years to come: Should we continue building pricey rail projects that cater to white-collar commuters who fled public transit or should we invest in the bus riders who never left?
The implications are major, calling into question public transit's role in the climate change battle and resurfacing long-standing tensions between planning transit for more privileged rail riders over lower-income bus riders.
"What happened in the pandemic is the whole script flipped," said Brian Taylor, a transportation expert at UCLA.
The driving force behind the Bay Area and L.A.'s current ridership fortunes is not a flourishing mass transit system in Los Angeles. Angelenos did not suddenly ditch their cars for the metro. Instead, it's a story of two hobbled transit systems clawing back their pre-pandemic riders at vastly different rates. As of June 2022, Los Angeles County has recovered 71% of its ridership compared to 55% in the Bay Area.
Bay Area office workers like Stephen Lanham are behind one of the nation's worst ridership recoveries as techies, lawyers and financial analysts left transit for the safety of their cars and to work from home.
After years of being a daily BART user, Lanham, an engineer, said goodbye to hopping on trains with strangers when pandemic lockdowns kicked in. "I went two years without riding BART," said Lanham, who has returned in recent months to riding rail twice a week. Besides his office shifting to remote work, Lanham did not want to risk spreading a COVID-19 infection to his newborn child.
His changing routine is typical. Across the Bay Area's seven largest rail and bus agencies – including Muni, BART, Caltrain, AC Transit and VTA – riders took 283 million fewer transit rides in 2021 versus 2019. That is 80% higher than 157 million rides lost among Los Angeles County's main transit operators.
Taylor of UCLA said the wide disparity is because Bay Area transit ridership was so heavily skewed toward commuters heading into buzzing San Francisco office buildings. "The share of trips on BART that began or ended at the four downtown San Francisco stations was going up every year. Right up to the pandemic," said Taylor. "And then that cut off."
The collapse in transit focused around downtown San Francisco is so dramatic that Los Angeles' web of subways and light rails, which is smaller and notoriously lacks an LAX airport connection, is now regularly moving more people than BART for the first time since the Federal Transit Administration started collecting monthly ridership data 20 years ago.
Even as the public health crisis loosens its grip on daily life, downtown San Francisco has one of the lowest office occupancy rates in the nation.
Tech companies like Twitter are downsizing and Etsy shuttered its San Francisco doors altogether. Now the workers that are coming back to the office – and using transit – have by and large reduced their commutes to three days a week or less, according to one employer survey, leading to a cluster of midweek riders.

"It's so obvious," said Roger Lai, a rare tech commuter who rides BART five days a week into downtown Oakland. "On Monday and Friday, the train is clear."
The worst month for public transit ridership since the federal government started keeping score was April 2020. That's when Caltrain chugged up the Peninsula with 97% fewer passengers, many of them embracing a work-from-home lifestyle of baking sourdough bread and binge-watching Netflix. But in Los Angeles, during the worst of the pandemic lockdowns, over 30% of riders continued to brave the bus.
"People were dropping (from COVID) every day on the news," said Barbara Lott-Holland an organizer with L.A.'s Bus Riders Union, who remembered stepping onto transit during the early days of the pandemic. "You could actually see the fear on their faces."
Today, it's not hard to find a packed bus in Los Angeles. Head to Vermont Avenue in the late afternoon and you will find nurses watching cell phone videos, teachers hauling groceries, and students munching on snacks as Line 754 crawls south from Hollywood.
Bus riders are the passengers that comprised the bulk of L.A.'s transit ridership before the pandemic. Now they've come back – and in many cases never left.
L.A.'s three largest bus operators, dominated by L.A. Metro, have a ridership recovery of 74%, which is among the highest rates in the country, outpacing New York City buses and peer bus agencies in the Bay Area. L.A. Metro's latest budget is predicting a full return to pre-pandemic bus boardings by spring of 2023.
"We heard every month for two years community members saying buses are crowded," said Jessica Meany, who heads Investing in Place, an L.A.- transit advocacy organization. "But they're not there because it's the best product or it works for them. They flat out have no other choice."
Los Angeles County has some of the poorest public transit riders among metro areas in the country – many of them recent immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Despite living in a sprawling city built around car ownership, 84% of L.A.'s bus riders did not have car access in 2018. Instead, they often spend hours each day on public transit.
"I can hardly walk," said Tuesday Millner, 62, after hoisting her walker over the foot-long gap from the sidewalk onto the bus. She echoed an increasingly common complaint in Los Angeles: overcrowded buses are zooming by riders because there is no room for more passengers. "They'll pass you up in a minute."
At the heart of the Bay Area and Los Angeles pandemic ridership dynamic are two seemingly bland transit terms: "choice" and "dependent" riders. They touch on deep divisions between transit agencies and advocates over whether public investments should prioritize building a pollution-busting mass transit system to lure car owners into trains or buses that disproportionately serve people with no other option.
Before the pandemic, the Bay Area's "choice" rider model was a beacon for public transit agencies. On Caltrain, 70% of passengers had household incomes over $100,000. BART amassed 50,000 parking spots to win over suburban commuters heading into the city. And boosted by strong fare revenues, both agencies were among the most self-sufficient in the country.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, built one of the nation's most wide-reaching transit networks, designed to send thousands of bright orange buses to nearly every nook and cranny of the county. L.A.'s lumbering bus grid might suffer from slow speeds, but it offers transit access to 96% of working-age adults, according to a Brookings Institution study.
As mass transit moves into a long-term ridership downturn, Los Angeles' vast network of buses might provide a better template for the future of mass transit in California. And thinking among many transit planners is shifting away from laying rail tracks with hopes of luring suburban commuters toward a far less glamorous and far cheaper option: speeding up buses with dedicated lanes.
"There are people whose very livelihood depends on having decent mass transit. That should be the top priority," said Joshua Schank, L.A. Metro's first chief innovation officer, now a transportation expert for the Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State and UCLA. "Not necessarily investing in major capital projects that will bear fruit 50 years from now."
Even though the large majority of public transit riders in California are bus riders, funneling money into buses has been an uphill battle jammed with lawsuits and an underlying stigma of bus riding in America that has long led transit planners to favor digging tunnels over prioritizing bus lanes. One 2014 study of transit planning in six regions, including the Bay Area, found that bus riders were an "afterthought."
And in Los Angeles, bus advocates are far from happy with L.A. Metro's performance during the pandemic. For Channing Martinez, head of the L.A. Bus Riders Union, the strength of the city's bus ridership recovery should force the transit agency to double down on increasing bus lines and giving buses priority on traffic-clogged streets. But while L.A. Metro has a long-term plan to increase bus frequency, they've slashed bus service this year as the agency struggles with a gaping driver shortage. L.A. Metro's starting bus operator salary is $20.49 – 20% less than new bus drivers make in Santa Clara County.
"It's been terrible," said Martinez.
What does that mean for the future of California's mass transit network? Long-term planning is largely based on a pricey effort to build rail transit into a pillar of California's battle against climate change. Massive flows of money from President Joe Biden's trillion-dollar infrastructure bill and Sacramento's booming budget could make their way to projects spanning the state's beleaguered high-speed rail enterprise, extending Caltrain into downtown San Francisco, BART into San Jose, and eventually a second $29 billion train tunnel underneath the San Francisco Bay.
"Should we invest billions of dollars making sure that the system that we build will be usable and relevant? Absolutely," said Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, a Southern California Democrat who chairs the Assembly's transportation committee. She said the state needs to be putting more dollars, not less, toward getting car owners to ditch their vehicles for transit that is faster and more comfortable than buses slogging through traffic.
"I think that there are people who don't want to be seen waiting for a bus," said Friedman. "So maybe we do need to look at more trolleys and more systems that feel more comfortable for people."
But Marc Scribner, a transportation analyst at the Reason Foundation in Washington, said mega projects, which were planned long before the pandemic, need to be seriously re-evaluated with post-pandemic realities.
"It only becomes environmentally friendly if you have high occupancies," said Scribner. "Hint, hint, that second tunnel under the bay is not a good idea."
Los Angeles also is placing big bets on rail backed by a colossal $120 billion sales tax measure passed in 2016 and a deadline of the 2028 Summer Olympics. The city is making headway on projects pitched as transformative, including a long-promised airport connector and a subway extension into Beverly Hills and West Los Angeles.
For many in Los Angeles, hopes are high that new subway extensions will cement L.A.'s rail lead over the Bay Area 60 years after the demise of the city's streetcars. "This isn't a temporary thing. We've gone on a building spree that is bar none," said Eli Lipmen, the executive director at Move L.A., a transit advocacy organization.
But not everyone is as excited. If the Bay Area's pandemic turn from a buzzing train network into a skeleton of itself serves as a grim model for the future of mass transit, L.A.'s rail buildout may not deliver on its lofty ridership promises either.
"They build transit in areas where wealthy people are but they don't need it," said Juan Manuel Villegas who rode L.A.'s B line subway on a recent Thursday. He was tired of being left stranded by infrequent buses while watching billions of dollars go toward new trains heading into Beverly Hills. "They have cars," Villegas said. "If I miss the last bus, then I wait on the street till the next morning."

De Hal was een gehucht in de uiterwaarden van de Maas nabij Kotem in de Belgische gemeente Maasmechelen. Het gehucht lag in een Maasbocht in de winterbedding, waardoor de woonkern vaak het slachtoffer was van overstromingen.

In 1459 verliet de Maas te Kotem haar oude bedding en ging in haar huidige bedding lopen. Vermoedelijk is de Hal toen aan de westelijke zijde van de Maas komen te liggen. Het naburige dorp Elsloo lag oorspronkelijk aan de voet van de Maasberg en was via land bereikbaar vanuit de Hal. Na deze overstroming is Elsloo heropgebouwd op de Maasberg zelf. In de Maas tussen Elsloo en de Hal waren tot het begin van de 21ste eeuw resten zichtbaar van de ruïne van het oude kasteel van Elsloo. Door de Maaswerken zijn deze resten thans zelfs bij laagwater niet meer zichtbaar.

In 2010 werden de laatste huizen van het gehucht gesloopt en werd de grond afgegraven om meer ruimte te geven aan de Maas. Tot dat moment woonden er nog drie gezinnen op de Hal. Een van de huizen was 't Veerhuis waar de veerman woonde die mensen naar Elsloo overzette.
