So cool! Looks like a scene out of a European indie film.

That tarp in the front belongs to a particularly loony homeless person who has scribbled secret messages to his secret oppressors all over the cardboard walls of the structure. She was well advised to look forward and move fast.

Sprint as an alternative title, perhaps.

Cool. I thought you might take offense and bust me for product placement:

Roaming past the homeless, where the dear and the antelope-people play.
Screening calls, screening urban blight and putting bums in the streets (like Reagan did in 1964 by closing California's back wards) might just be the same greed-induced activity.
Your work inspires me (and all of my psychoses).

When you click on the link all this stuff pops up and it feels like Sprint has consumed your machine. Sprint doesn't work in places where I would need it to. Reagan is to blame for dismantling the best state schools and psychiatric facilities (some connection there certainly) ever developed in the history of the country. What a guy! He got a great house in Holmby Hills and a beautiful ranch in Santa Barbara from his grateful corporate backers. They didn't even hide it. They were made as open and above board fully declared gifts.

The People's Initiative to Limit Property Taxation seemed to me, even at the time, the best means to put another Beamer in the garage
at the expense of all children and every successive generation thereafter; as though the American Experiment were a sprint
to quarterly earnings rather than a seven generation marathon. Adequate actor, dangerous politician, ruinous leader.

Prop 3 makes CA homes more valuable and nobody has had the guts to repeal it. As an increasing percentage of voters stop being homeowners, its possible it might change.

Sorry, I left out a number (my typos are getting worse lately: Proposition 13..... This one: www.californiataxdata.com/pdf/…

There! Same culprit, the Great Wreckingball.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_Cal…
"Proposition 13 received an enormous amount of publicity, not only in California, but throughout the United States.[2]
Passage of the initiative presaged a "taxpayer revolt " throughout the country that is sometimes thought to have contributed to the election of Ronald Reagan to the presidency during 1980.
However, of 30 anti-tax ballot measures that year, only 13 measures passed.[3]"
Yet
"Proposition 13 is consistently popular among California's likely voters, 64 percent of whom were homeowners as of 2017.[49] "
That's an estimated $528 billion since 1978 California taxpayers didn't pay for essential services;
problems at which not even money was thrown probably won't go away, but school music, art and culture programs did, overnight.
70% of registered voters passed Prop 13 in 1978. If 64% still liked it in 2017, the time for bated breath has not yet arrived.
But, we're both preaching to the choir, and I'd rather listen than yammer.
