5-4
Justice Neil Gorsuch — newly appointed by Trump — sided with the traditionally liberal wing of the Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling that a law requiring the deportation of immigrants convicted of some violent crimes was unconstitutionally vague. The Trump administration was not pleased with the decision. [Reuters]
At least 100 buildings
There are at least 100 buildings in San Francisco that are both over 240 feet tall and built on ground that has a very high chance of liquefying in an earthquake. The city — whose notions of zoning appear more Pythonesque than YIMBY — has potentially underestimated the damage a sufficiently large earthquake could do to large buildings given the unprecedented nature of The Big One. The drunkenly listing Millennium Tower — which has sunk a foot and a half and leans 14 inches — is perhaps just the beginning. [The New York Times]
