California ’s drouth newsworthiness gets speculative ( despite thisfunny PSA ) . The program to revitalise downtown Vegas stumbles ( but could still work , with better centering ) .

The drought is really, really, really ruining East Porterville, California
Summer is over but the drouth in California has no embossment in plenty ( I ’m typing this as the temperature at my theater is reach the high-90s for the third solar day in a row ) . Amidst reports this week that the groundwater in the state is the lowest it may have ever been , there was a agonising history in the New York Times about how some cities in the Central Valley are simply out of water : “ The Gallegos family ’s drinking pee come only from nursing bottle , mostly received through donations but sometimes bought at the gas place . For bathing , doing lulu and flushing potty , the kin relies on bucket filled with water from a armoured combat vehicle specify in the front lawn , which Mr. Gallegos replenishes every other daylight at the county fire station . ” [ New York Times ]
Tony Hsieh might be ruining downtown Vegas
The initiative to regenerate Vegas with $ 350 million fronted by Zappos chief executive officer Tony Hsieh has always been fraught with incredulity . newsworthiness this week that the Downtown Project was laying off faculty and refocusing its sight — including Hsieh say he was never the loss leader of the movement — gave critics even less authority in the programme . I had some view about how startup brainpower does n’t interpret to the streets , with insight gained from the calendar week I spend reporting on the projection in January . But Re / code ’s Nellie Bowles is running her series this week — fairly amazing timing — and wrap the latest news program into her excellent reporting . It ’s a complicated story about the way metropolis deepen — and I advise you say every installment . [ Re / computer code , Gizmodo ]
Shit is ruining NYC’s Citi Bike
Here ’s one way to show how you feel about New York City ’s bikeshare programme . A man spent his Friday Nox pooping in a bag — I mean , is it safe to seize it was his feces?—and besmirch it all over the Citi motorcycle at a Midtown kiosk , not too far from busy Broadway theatre . No one seemed to notice the fop casually dusting the rear end with excrement , but he was caught on surveillance camera , of class , and constabulary are trying to identify him ( can you sample DnA from poop ? ) . Grossest of all was this gossip from the bikeshare supervisor : “ Some people have consider the cycle without knowing the seats are foul . ” [ NY Daily News ]
