I just finished Woes of the True Policeman, the posthumously-published Roberto Bolaño novel. It was very, very good, and sent me back to re-read bits of 2666, since it shares some of the same characters #books
Last night my hometown #PortlandME legalized 4-unit homes, with no minimum parking requirements, on every non-island residential lot in the city:

Here's a better tabulation of results by precinct. Untallied precincts include the more conservative/suburban 5 (Riverton and North Deering and part of Deering Center), likely a Dion stronghold. And two on-peninsula wards (top of Munjoy Hill and inner West End), likely stronger for Zarro and Ali.

Tight race for #PortlandME mayor! I predict 3 rounds of ranked-choice runoffs: Dion is unlikely to get much more than 2/3rds of Costa's and Pugh's second-choice votes, so that means the runner-up choices or either Zarrow or Ali will determine the winner tomorrow.
