ParticipantThey were going to make an official day on 6/22 in celebration of Avogadro’s number, but more people prefer eating Pie to Avogadros.
ParticipantCool – train goes all the way ? No busses ?
Through Berkeley ?

110 places. I think even the Asians were like “what the heck ?”

ParticipantCheck the season on the Orcas. Not sure when it is.
ParticipantSurely, the dollar will surely collapse soon, right ?
ParticipantLet’s try this new feature:
BG, I believe you are misunderstanding the point of the post.
[The number of permits issued by the CA government.] is not actually germane to the topic, which is – why are there so many new people and not so many new taxpayers ?
ParticipantOne more thing to add – check into a short cruise. Sometimes they have 1 to 3 day “cruises to nowhere” or cruises from Seattle to Vancouver on big cruise ships just to fill spaces in the schedule. Could be fun.
Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Its all about the kids though I have always dreamed of taking a long train trip in a sleeper car. The route looks awesome up the coast and then into the wilderness and past Lake Shasta. The train tickets alone are very inexpensive, its the sleeper car that is the killer but you only live once.[/quote]
Is the train between LA to Berkeley running now? It was out of service a while back when I checked. I think you have to get off the train, then on an bus in Bakersfield, then back on the train.
The train would be fun – just double-check that it is available without the bus.
ParticipantOf all the tourist things I have ever done, The Seattle Undergound tour is one of the best values ever. Hilarious and well-priced. Almost as good as The Cosmos of the Black Hills.
I like spending time on the water. Definitely a ferry across to Victoria or one of the other islands. There isn’t a heck of a lot to do, but I would do it just for the boat-ride. The kids will like driving the car onto the boat.
There is a national park across the way, though it is one of the less interesting ones.
Go see a Seattle Sounders game if the kids are into soccer at all. It is the loudest, most exuberant soccer environment in the US.
Eat crab and Salmon.
Pikes Place market is a must-see. Something for everyone there. I like the place with the tiny little doughnut maker, if they are still there. I could watch it for hours.
I think they have a children’s museum there, or a science center or something like that. We were in a rush so we popped in and out but I think it was pretty cool.
ParticipantThe shadow inventory will hit the market again as soon as the buyers start paying higher prices for the current crappy inventory. Which will happen as soon as the inventory improves.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Which other states’ elected officials were dumb enough to approve massive residential tract development of this magnitude?[/quote]
Why should elected officials decide how many houses get built ? Is this the land of Big Brother or something?
Participant[quote=sdrealtor]In all fairness the first sentence is that now MAY be the best time. It’s still rhetoric but there is a difference. They also provided data of record high affordability levels. I’m not defending them because they have been saying this forever but this time they MAY actually be right[/quote]
This is sooooooooo “The boy who cried wolf”
Eventually, there’s gonna be a wolf.
Participant[quote=Rich Toscano]Exactly right ocr… and of course this conversation wouldn’t be complete without a callback to this classic from November 2006:

That really is spectacularly awful.
