A tiny pinprick wildfire in NJ, with these precise wind conditions, is managing to poison ~8 to 12 million people. Probably the worst impact per actively burning fire-acre in US history

I'm going to agree to disagree on Prop 2. The City Council knows the permit process is broken, but instead of fixing it for years, they've let it just lumber on because no one was in charge of enforcement. The result was impassible/unsafe bridges pedestrian paths/unusable sidewalks.
