It's #IndependentBookstoreDay! I *love* bookstores, especially indies. I'm a recovering bookseller (love you, @BakkaPhoenix!) and an inveterate, absurdly optimistic book buyer - this weekend, I bought 3 books at the @latimes #BookFest, from @PagesMB and Octavia's Bookshelf!

Supporting indie bookstores doesn't mean foregoing the convenience of buying online. @librofm pioneered a model where you nominate your favorite local bookstore, which receives part of the proceeds from every audiobook you buy at Libro (where all the audiobooks are DRM-free).

My mom & dad bought their first house in #PaloAlto for about $16,000. At the time, it cost about 5 cents per hour to park downtown. Today, that same house would cost ~$3 million & it’s free to park downtown.

In 2019, surveyors counted 313 homeless people in #PaloAlto, up 99% from 2013. They found no homeless cars.

How did #PaloAlto become a city of expensive housing and free parking? In 1951, Palo Alto adopted a new zoning ordinance. The new law limited housing and required parking.
