Manholes in Berkeley are now called maintenance holes.

And the City Council members are called "assholes".

Homes will be required to be all electric.

Yes, that is stupid. When the electricity fails (happens a lot here in the Bay Area), I can still use my natural gas stove to cook food and boil water, as well as have hot showers (natural gas water heater). Next, they'll ban electricity - stone age all over again!

That Berkeley disappeared loooong ago.

Today’s Berkeley is a nuclear free zone, as well as a brain-free zone.

Yeah - these days, the thought of entering a manhole with one’s tools is something that turns most male workers off...It’s the Pete Butt-agape effect....

Its even worse. The term maintenance holes is non_specific and could lead to confusion. I prefer “vertical access shaft for underground utilities”.
A maintenance hole could be anywhere, any orientation, giving access to who knows what.

Surprised they can even flush toilets in SF or CA considering this wording bothers the snowflakes this much.

The madness is reaching epic levels over on the left coast.
