Letters: Don’t meddle with the zoning laws that protect Coloradans

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:07:27 GMT

Invested: Zoning allowances alter our home life too muchFor most Americans, their home is, by far, their largest investment. There is usually a great deal of care when choosing where one will live. Now, at a stroke, the governor and legislature could put this at risk.How would you like an investor to erect a four- or six-plex next to your home? In 2021 nearly one-quarter of Denver homes were purchased as investments, so this is a very real possibility. Bear in mind that the people who build four- and six-plexes are never going to live there. If you think that parking is an issue now, what will happen when the four-plex goes up next door? The developer will make a quick buck, and you will be left to deal with the noise and parking issues while you watch the value of your property decline.The reason that zoning was invented is because people were tired of having their lives uprooted by someone who could do whatever they wanted with their property because “they owned it.” T...

View the original article about One Of Hemp’s Most Secretive Cannabinoids- CBL at Real Tested CBD.CBL doesn’t get as much love as CBD or delta-8 THC. Heck, even compared with other secondary hemp cannabinoids like CBG, it’s far more difficult to find any data on CBL. At this point, the only people who may know about CBL are already deeply immersed in the hemp or legal cannabis industry.While CBL may not be a significant force in today’s hemp market, it often appears in full-spectrum CBD oils. Customers with a keen interest in the many fascinating properties of hemp may want to take a closer look at the chemistry of CBL.What Do We Know About CBL?Interestingly, scientists first discovered cannabicyclol (CBL) in the mid-20th century.

Q Marsden is Not Alone: Floridian R&B artist Q Marsden, son of renowned dancehall musician Steven Marsden, has released new single and video “Not Alone.”According to the press release, “Shortly after announcing the release date of his debut album, Soul,PRESENT, Q is back with the visual for “NOT ALONE“.

See the spiral in the night sky that ‘created an internet storm’

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 06:07:27 GMT

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Viewers of the northern lights got a surprise mixed in with the green bands of light dancing in the Alaska skies: A blue spiral appeared amid the aurora borealis for a few minutes.The cause of Saturday morning’s display was excess fuel that had been released from a SpaceX rocket that launched from California about three hours before the spiral appeared.Sometimes rockets have fuel that needs to be jettisoned, said space physicist Don Hampton, a research associate professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.“When they do that at high altitudes, that fuel turns into ice,” he said. “And if it happens to be in the sunlight, when you’re in the darkness on the ground, you can see it as a sort of big cloud, and sometimes it’s swirly.”While it’s not a common sight, Hampton said he’s seen such occurrences about three times.The appearance of the swirl was caught in time-lapse on the Geophysical Institute’s all-sky camera and shared...

1,500 homes planned in Contra Costa County hills

A massive housing project in the hills southwest of Pittsburg got the City Council’s nod of approval despite some opposition from residents, conservationists and environmentalists.Monday’s 4-0 vote – with Councilman Juan Banales recusing himself – came after the Planning Commission agreed in mid-February not to recommend the project and developer Louis Parsons of Discovery Builders appealed that decision.Two decades in the making, the Faria/Southwest Hills Annexation Project proposes to build 1,500 homes mostly clustered in the valleys in the southwest Pittsburg hills, just out of the city’s limits and overlooking the former Concord Naval Weapons Station.This week’s approvals included a green light for the housing project’s master plan, an amendment to the city’s general plan and pre-zoning designations, and a development agreement with Faria Land Investors, a Seeno/Discovery Builders associate.“We’ve negotiated this over many years,” Louis Parsons of Discovery Builders told t...

Senior Noah Morton had two hits and one RBI, and senior Narayan Venkataramana batted 2 for 4 and drove in one run.Washington pitcher Maxwell Paek starred in relief as he threw 3.2 scor...
