With regard to zoning. First, I don’t live in Scottsdale, I did listen to the new mayor’s interview. Her we don’t need anymore apartments sounded short sighted. Ok. Zoning by acre is a bad idea. You get patches of land with differing regulations, within a large city, by fiat. If you’re going to govern that way, why have a community development department, zoning commission, or city council? (City councils should listen to the experts) NIMBY’s get pissed and sometimes rightfully so. But not having sewer, road designs and dark sky consistency could make one 10 acre parcel have different regulations from the one next to it which can change land values. It’s hard but someone has got to be in control. I did not like the state over riding Scottsdale. There is a community plan to go by too. Someone make up their minds.
I appreciate that Sen. Gallego opposes the current crypto bill, but even if amended, any bill that legitimizes a fundamentally flawed notion like crypto does not belong in statute. (See https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2022/05/why-this-computer-scientist-says-all-cryptocurrency-should-die-in-a-fire ). Exception: crypto is great if you need it to enable your scam.
