Sea Level Rise!
Here's a link that simulates sea level rise from 0m-60m. it's not entirely "accurate" because it doesn't factor in erosion, tidal variation, etc. but is supposed to serve as a representation for what could happen. the data comes from NASA which in itself has tolerance issues.

americas cup Q&A event
hey everyone!
I found this event that will be help on sept 22 about americas cup: ULI-San Francisco’s panel discussion and Q&A will offer updates on the current plans for the North Waterfront and key shoreline venues, as well as related infrastructure improvements and long-term scenarios of the post-race waterfront and real estate economy.
It says that it is $45 to get in... maybe we could get a discount? anyone know of how we could potentially get this?
