No I didn't. You must've misinterpreted something I wrote. I said from the time that the Trump/Kim meeting was scheduled that the only thing that had happened is that Trump had given a North Korean leader something, a meeting with the US President, that North Korean leaders had wanted for decades and couldn't get because previous Presidents wouldn't give it to them.

And the meeting yielded no specific commitments. It yielded less than several meetings/negotiations with the North Koreans appeared to have yielded. I say "appeared" because the North Koreans then reneged. The idea that it was clear Trump had accomplished something by virtue of that meeting is absurd.

Now, if something really does happen and the North Koreans give up all their nuclear weapons we can say that something was accomplished. But now we hear that our intelligence agencies see indications that the North Koreans were playing games as they've done in the past.

"SF’s appalling street life repels residents — now it’s driven away a convention

In a move that is alarming San Francisco’s biggest industry, a major medical association is pulling its annual convention out of the city — saying its members no longer feel safe.

“It’s the first time that we have had an out-and-out cancellation over the issue, and this is a group that has been coming here every three or four years since the 1980s,” said Joe D’Alessandro, president and CEO of S.F. Travel, the city’s convention bureau.....

......The group’s annual five-day trade show draws 15,000 attendees and pumps about $40 million into the local economy......."

Absolutely - just as I offered them stern admonition for their misunderestimation of support for Bernie Sanders.

Leaving I went over Potrero Hill (think any cop-bad guy car chase scene from the movies) and there are all kinds of high density housing complexes (probably will top out at 3 or 4 stories) going up.

Besides pure payment in hard cash under the table, the more acceptable way is to make contractors pay for/build other infrastructure upgrades needed in the area where there project is.

looks like we have a schism. This may be CA - generally the Brits have more clever signage and it's grammatically correct.

Best signs from London that I've seen:
