I live on a street in Berkeley that was not red-lined, so it has single family homes and fourplexes. It’s great, we love it. You can choose to be miserable but it’s got nothing to do with whether your neighbors can afford a home.

The first time I used DuoLingo, I was just trying to get through the tree, without really learning, and that was useless. Now I have a different technique: I’ll only listen (never read), and if I can’t comprehend and respond immediately, I’
