☆ I invest in real estate on the side. At first, I thought Airbnb was the way to go, but I prefer long-term rentals.

I wanted to offset my mortgage and make extra income, so I immediately knew I would do Airbnb. I met some great people, but Airbnb guests can drive you crazyEven though we could pull in around $3,000 in revenue per month, I had many frustrations with Airbnb. I turned to long-term rentals, which I like moreAt the start of 2020, I moved to San Francisco for work. I realized really quickly I didn't like the city and didn't want to live there long-term. I'd tell someone thinking about Airbnb to first make sure they've done their research and the financials make sense.

☆ The key to fighting the urban doom loop might be a downtown beach

Urban rivers, lakes, and parks can also be the key to making cities more resilient to climate change. The 1,200 tons of sand near Greenwich Village along the Hudson river would have to do. But there's no public pool nearby, and no sanctioned river swim spots in the city. The sandy bluff on Gansevoort peninsula is part of the much larger Hudson River park and looks out over Little Island, a whimsical, highly instagrammable transformation of Pier 55. Seattle has torn down an elevated freeway downtown to make way for a waterfront park.

☆ DC Democrats argue ranked choice voting is confusing to voters in predominantly Black areas as they seek to block potential vote on implementing the system
  + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The DC Democratic Party is trying to stop an effort to implement ranked choice voting in the city. They argued in a lawsuit that low-income and Black voters would be confused by the system. The 33-page lawsuit filed in DC Superior Court by the District of Columbia Democratic Party argues that implementing the voting system would violate the DC Human Rights Act, a portion of local law prohibiting discrimination. Under the system, the lowest-performing candidates are sequentially eliminated and their votes are redistributed to other candidates based on voters' rankings. And Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York recently introduced a bill to block the implementation of ranked-choice voting in Washington, DC.

☆ Director of New Women’s History Museum Withdraws, Citing Family Issues

Yao denied the allegation in court papers, asserting that the museum had proper policies and procedures in place to respond to workplace harassment. She denied to The Post that the staffers had been let go in retaliation for their reports, attributing the decisions to budget pressures. While the Smithsonian searches for a replacement, the women’s history museum has appointed Melanie A. Adams, the director of the Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum, as interim director. The women’s history museum’s 18 staff members were informed of Yao’s decision on Wednesday, St. Thomas said. Establishing the museum, which is expected to open in roughly 10 years, was estimated to cost about $375 million between construction and the creation of exhibits.

☆ How the mind of an 80-year-old president is biologically different from a 45-year-old president's

It was 1988, and he'd approached President Ronald Reagan in the Cabinet room at the White House. People scoffed at the glowing hourlong media conference that President Donald Trump's White House doctor gave about his health. Reagan publicly announced he had Alzheimer's disease five years after he left the White House. Francis Shen, who teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School's Center for Bioethics, would like to see information about political leaders' cognitive health made public. Cognitive health should be no different, he said, because it also might affect the way presidents and members of Congress make important decisions.
