Local districts have only exactly as many powers as granted to them by state governments. What was granted to them in the name of expediency and locality of control can be taken back by the state government, which is the ultimate sovereign

I found resources like Scott Murray's "Interactive Data Visualization for the Web" to be invaluable; the D3 docs are too dense/reference-focused for me, but his book introduced the concepts in a slower, more tutorial-lik

US housing is a state-level issue that could be solved by state governments promoting high-density housing policy. Ultimately, those state governments are elected by voters, i.e. residents, including renters, and not exclusively landlords.

Even if you never end up using it professionally, I think it's worth it to learn D3. The core point that the library makes is that your projection of the data (say, a 1080p screen, 1920x1080) is always different from the dimensions of

Trying to build on persistent HTTP connections that don't close is a recipe for frustration when scaling horizontally, which is something you plan to do, since the reason why not to go with Postgres is so you can have more than one ins

If you look at other HTTP-based databases, like DynamoDB or S3, the latency involved in setting up new connections is a downside of those databases (not arguing that it's never worth it, architectural decisions are all trade-offs, but
