Look at all these cool Muni routes that were eliminated in 2009 budget cuts and didn't come back 😭 Potrero Hill used to have *three* north-south bus routes where now it has one. The 53 Southern Heights was lost in 2009, the 10 Townsend in 2020, and only the 19 Polk is left.

Existieren beide Varianten parallel und liefern den gleichen Inhalt, hat man technisch gesehen Duplicate Content erzeugt.
​Ein Server sollte immer eine Version erzwingen und die andere per 301 weiterleiten.

They emerge, bearing essentials you ordered, from the hub that enables the ten-minute delivery—the dark store. Some 5,000 dark stores have mushroomed across India’s cities in the last few years, with wide-ranging implications on traffic, safety and much else. Who is responsible for their oversight?
