Dogs are family, but when you have one, moving can be, well, ruff. Not only do you need to find the perfect home, but you need to ensure there’s plenty of room and nearby green space for your furry family members. That’s why we partnered with Redfin, the popular real estate brokerage, to determine the top cities for dog lovers. We ran the numbers on over 14,000 cities across the country, compiling a list with the highest counts of walks, dog walkers and sitters, along with total hours, minutes and distance per walk by each dog walker or sitter on Rover.
And because each top city needs a top dog, we also uncovered the most popular breed in each area. Why yes, we have noticed a lot of French Bulldogs in New York lately, now that you mention it.
We then coupled our insights with Redfin data to take a closer look at what life as a dog is like in each city. We recorded how often the keyword ‘dog’ appeared in the online listing descriptions of homes for sale, typically to note that a property was dog-friendly, close to dog parks, etc. We also included each dog-friendly city’s Walk Score®, to highlight how easy it is to treat your dog to his or her favorite activity.
So, which cities are the best for your best friend? Here’s Redfin and Rover’s definitive ranking for the most dog-friendly cities of 2019.

Dreamstime: Three dogs waiting patiently for their owner in the boot of a car.
Despite the notion that some people may wait to move to the suburbs to adopt a dog, urban cores still rank highest in dog friendliness. Cities renowned for leafy parks and outdoor activities like Seattle, Chicago, and Denver claimed the top spots.
And while New York City, Brooklyn, and San Francisco rank highest for walkability, a seemingly significant factor when deciding to get a dog, they rank lower for overall dog friendliness, perhaps due to a higher cost of living, and housing inventory of typically smaller apartments–there’s no room for a large golden retriever in a fifth-floor walkup studio, sadly.
Other highlights include Washington, D.C., and its suburbs of Arlington, V.A. and Alexandria, V.A. all making the list, possibly aligned to an influx of interest in the area following Amazon’s arrival to town.
When it comes to breed, well, all dogs are adored equally, but we see the highest intake of Mixed and Labrador Retrievers nationwide. And ever the cosmopolitan hubs, New York City and Los Angeles stand out with Frenchies and Chihuahuas, respectively. Across the river from Manhattan, Brooklyn marches to its own beat and prefers Pit Bull mixes, as does Philly.
No matter where you live, if you’ve opened your home to love and care for a dog, we’re guessing it’s as dog-friendly as it gets.

Over 300 STEM students channeled through the buzzing innovation hub at the Port’s 6th Annual Maritime Advanced Systems & Technology Expo (MAST). The Expo introduced our inquisitive and pioneering young minds to the exciting world of technology and innovation. MAST, where technology meets the end user and, where the consumer meets the innovators, serves as a 365-day platform to incubate new technological solutions. Every spring, the Port hosts an Expo to celebrate achievements and launch new strategies.
Oxnard Harbor District President Jess Herrera welcomes attendees to the MAST Expo
To kick off the event, Oxnard Harbor District President Jess Herrera highlighted the important nexus of MAST to the large wave of students, community partners and industry stakeholders remarking, “New technologies will move our maritime industry forward. The Port of Hueneme’s MAST program hopes to play an important role in innovation both for experienced engineers and the young masterminds of the future.”
With over 400 participants consisting of local businesses, entrepreneurs, port customers, students, and community leaders, this year’s Expo served as the venue to launch the next iteration of MAST. The Port, Navy, Economic Development Collaborative and the well renowned Went brothers of the local start-up, Matter Labs, announced their new technology driven collaborative. Setting up shop on Port, the collaborative both institutionally and structurally builds the foundation to bolster public access to piloting, developing, and commercializing new technologies in data analytics, robotic systems, alternative environmental technology, cyber security, and much more.

CEO & Port Director Kristin Decas announced, “MAST is a year-round incubator for our local inventors, entrepreneurs, and students. If you have an idea, this is the place to develop it, refine it, and showcase how it can change the world. This new space will house an array of the most advanced and cutting-edge equipment and technology that will all be accessible to our community and students.”
The Economic Development Collaborative’s top executive Bruce Stenslie shared, “The MAST Expo is an excellent annual demonstration of what drives the Ventura County economy. It showcases our strengths in global trade, in advanced manufacturing, and in Research & Development opportunities at both the Port of Hueneme and Naval Base Ventura County. Adding the participation of our youth and educators involved in STEM learning closes the loop, helping to deliver a next generation of innovators.”
Moderator Ann Carpenter, Bruce Stenslie, Christina Birdsey, Erick Went, Alan Jaeger
Alan Jaeger of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) filled the MAST space with a wealth of new machinery and equipment to get the collaborative underway. Mr. Jaeger, an enthusiastic partner, showcased many of these technologies throughout the day stating, “I’m really excited to see so many different companies, students, and schools coming together to build out this ecosystem of how we inspire a culture of innovation. The Navy has specific interests that we are looking for; and working with students and companies to help understand, collaborate, and work together is what I’m most excited about.”
Erick Went sat on the Opportunities for Innovation Panel captivating the audience with his ambitions to grow MAST and ignite a surge of entrepreneurial activity throughout Ventura County. The crowd really perked up as Went explained, “The collaborative will provide a unique intersection of a world of spaces that don’t often get to play together. The sweet spot here is that MAST is a collider. You’re putting together, in close proximity, things that are not always there and you’re hitting it with a bunch of energy, and all kinds of amazing things get created. Port, business, industry, students, innovators, all people out of the box are in one place, at one time with a ton of energy surrounding them. The cross over connections that are happening here are incredible.”
Ann Carpenter of Braid Theory moderated the Opportunities for Innovation Panel in the morning session. She emphasized, “The panel experience is great…the bringing together of the different resources from the macro level of economic development all the way to Matter Labs doing the programing support for the individual entrepreneurs is exactly what is needed to build out the ecosystem here,” Carpenter said. “The MAST Expo is critical to our business strategy, this environment where you have key players means you can actually do business.”
Student attendees gather to hear lunchtime keynote speaker California State Treasurer Fiona Ma
One compelling reason the Port makes the map as one of Ventura County’s epicenters for innovation resides in its designation as an Opportunity Zone. This new federal program taps into the entrepreneurial spirt by attracting venture capital through tax incentives. Fiona Ma, the State Treasurer, oversees this program for California and inspired the audience with her keynote address on innovation, Opportunities Zones, and the possibilities that lie ahead.
California State Treasurer Fiona Ma
Ma explained, “This Port is in one of the 879 Opportunity Zones. This is a great program that our State will use to hopefully attract private investors to many of the projects that our State wants to finance, and many of them will likely come out of this program right here.” Treasurer Ma also emphasized the need to invest in our ports, a strategy she articulated will help California to continue to lead the nation in developing technologies that protect our environment, increase our competitiveness, and create jobs.
The day was flooded with exciting opportunities for students through contests and hands-on testing of the actual technologies. Local high schools from across Ventura County took part in the technology wave including: Channel Islands High School, Santa Paula High School, Oxnard High School, Port Hueneme High School, Santa Susana High School, Colina Middle School, and Pleasant Valley Christian School.
Channel Islands High School Junior Tania Salceda explained her experience at the event, “It was my first time at the Port, and I didn’t know we had a Port in our community. It was cool to see that the Port is actually doing amazing things for our environment, and that they are the Greenest Port of the Year. I am proud to have the Port here!” Salceda elaborated, “My favorite part of today was the presentation on the LED lasers and how they are starting to use them in the new BMW cars.”

Several students also participated in a semester long program spearheaded by VC Innovates to build SeaGlide robots in their classrooms. Ten teams of students entered their robots into a tough competition, maneuvering their inventions through the Port’s underwater dive tank. The event culminated with an awards ceremony where Santa Paula High School took home the top prize.

Two incredible community leaders were honored with awards at the closing of the Expo, Mike Villegas of the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) and Cónsul Roberto Rodríguez Hernández of the Consulate of Mexico in Oxnard.
Oxnard Harbor District President Jess Herrera joined by Supervisor John Zaragoza and Supervisor Kelly Long’s Chief of Staff Brian Miller to congratulate VCAPCD’s Mike Villegas (second from left) on his Lifetime Achievement Award
Mr. Villegas received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Environmental Innovation for his 30+ years of public service and implementing new technologies throughout the County to improve air quality. Notably, his most recent endeavors include the joint clean air plan with the Port titled, PHRESH (Port of Hueneme Reducing Emissions and Supporting Health), which will include air quality monitoring meters for real time data collection.
Harbor Commissioner Mary Anne Rooney presented the awards stating, “It is an honor to have a great friend of the Port, Mike Villegas, with us today. His contributions to our community and to improve our air quality will be felt for generations. Today, our communities have the cleanest air on record, and it is because of Mike’s willingness to partner with industries like ours to implement new technologies and innovative approaches to providing cleaner air for us all.”
Villegas was heartfelt in his acceptance of the Lifetime Achievement Award stating, “Thank you to the Port for this recognition. The Port has been a great project partner on everything from the Shorepower project to the new PHRESH plan for improving air quality. I look forward to working with the Port on locomotive emission reduction projects, yard tractors, and even electric cranes. And with the Port being such a large component of the local economy, it’s critical that we have a green Port to keep these jobs in our County.”
Oxnard Harbor District Commissioner Mary Anne Rooney presents the Leadership in Community Based Technology Award to Cónsul Roberto Rodríguez Hernández of the Consulate of Mexico in Oxnard
Consul Hernández was presented with the “Leadership in Community Based Technology Award” for the Consulate’s efforts to implement new technology that will enable their office to improve access through a first-of-its-kind 211 information kiosk that will provide language specific-information on social and health services for Mexican nationals.
In his acceptance of the award, the Consul stated, “We always appreciate that the Port is here to strengthen our community, and the Port has been an essential partner to support stronger ties with our community and to increase trade with Mexico. We support the Port of Hueneme and all the projects of the Port as it is the future of Oxnard and the City of Port Hueneme.”
Supervisor John Zaragoza helped close the day with some remarks, “The Port’s MAST Program is very beneficial to not only the harbor and the community, but also to our students. We have students from all over Ventura County here today to learn the newest technologies working with the Port, which is really important as they are, in fact, our future.”
Chief of Staff Brian Miller represented Supervisor Kelly Long in closing remarks stating, “The Port of Hueneme is a little-known gem in some parts of our County. It is a job creator that also generates tax dollars from tax revenues, and over $1.5 Billion in economic activity for the whole County. It was great to see all the participation of the students this year, learning a lot with their underwater SeaGlide robots. It’s that STEM education that will carry us into the future, and this type of event is what creates that drive for those students to want to study STEM as they move forward.”
Elected officials in attendance included: State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Supervisor John Zaragoza, Oxnard Harbor District President Jess Herrera, Oxnard Harbor District Commissioners Mary Anne Rooney and Jason Hodge; Port Hueneme Mayor Will Berg, Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez, Supervisor Kelly Long’s Chief of Staff Brian Miller; and Karie Portillio Guerra and Jeannette Sanchez-Palacios representing Asm. Jacqui Irwin.
The Port of Hueneme is one of the most productive and efficient commercial trade gateways for niche cargo on the West Coast. The Port is governed by five locally elected Port Commissioners. The Port moves $9 billion in goods each year and consistently ranks among the top ten U.S. ports for automobiles and fresh produce. Port operations support the community by bringing $1.5 billion in economic activity and creating 13,633 trade-related jobs. Trade through the Port of Hueneme generates more than $93 million in direct and related state and local taxes, which fund vital community services. In 2017, the Port of Hueneme became the first port in California to become Green Marine certified. www.portofh.org.

Several Florida families and survivors filed more than 20 lawsuits against the Broward School District and the Broward Sheriff’s Office over alleged negligence during the 2018 Parkland shooting.
Haggard Law Firm attorney Todd Michaels said 22 lawsuits would be filed by 13 law firms representing 26 families and survivors, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported. Some of the suits were filed Wednesday.
“Actions speak louder than words and the victims and victims’ families have been very patient,” Michaels said in a statement. “It has become clear that the School Board has no intention of taking responsibility the families have asked for, so the patience of these families and survivors who have waited to officially file their lawsuits has ended.”
Michaels’ firm represents teacher Stacey Lippel along with the families of teacher Scott Beigel and student Joaquin Oliver, according to the Sun Sentinel.
Some of the reported failures included unlocked school doors, police distracted by equipment instead of confronting suspected shooter Nikolas Cruz immediately and other communication problems, according to an initial report by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission.
The Sun Sentinel also published a minute-by-minute report of the shooting based on 911 logs, interviews and surveillance videos. “Unprepared and Overwhelmed” found three separate instances in which the school could have been locked down and the district failed to have places to be out of an intruder’s sight, even after the advice of security experts.
Mitch Dworet, one of the parents filing a suit, lost his son Nick Dworet. His second son, Alexander, did survive. The father said his family has not been the same since the shooting.
“He [Alexander] was injured, he saw children killed and he lost his brother,” Dworet said. “This is life sentence for me, every day, it’s 14 months. I want accountability.”
BCPS Public Information Officer Nadine Drew told the Daily Caller News Foundation the district does not comment on “potential, pending or ongoing litigation.”
“We make it a practice not to comment on pending litigation,” BSO Public Information Officer Keyla Concepción told TheDCNF.
Ventura County Sheriff Department – Incident Press Release
Probation search at The Hamilton House leads to the arrest of three individuals and the recovery of a firearm, stolen in the course of a burglary from a residence in Meiners Oaks in the Ojai Valley, during the month of March 2019.
On 04-05-2019, at approximately 9:50 AM, members of the Ventura County Post Release Offender Supervision (PROS) Unit, went to The Hamilton House, located in the 300 block of East Main Street in the City of Ventura, to conduct a probation search on (S) Nancey Mansell.

On March 26, the United States Senate voted against putting forward Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) Green New Deal (GND) resolution to the Senate floor for debate and final vote. Those voting against the GND included all 53 Republicans, three Democrats and one Independent. Voting merely “present” (also known as a cloture vote) were 42 Democrats and one Independent. This included all of the resolution’s Senate co-sponsors.
Director of the Washington DC-base Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) Center for Energy and Environment Myron Ebell said in a CEI news release last Friday: “Today’s Senate vote on the Green New Deal has revealed that the 12 Democratic sponsors who courageously voted present are only interested in favorable green PR and are not serious. For those who truly believe that there are only twelve years to save the planet, the Senate sponsors of the Green New Deal are missing in action and cannot be counted on.”
This is a good thing of course. If passed into law—as unlikely as that might seem—the Green New Deal (GND) would crash the U.S. economy. The GND would ban fossil fuels in the United States over the next decade and implement a universal basic income program and single-payer health care model. It would also “upgrade” all buildings, including homes, to meet impractical environmental standards.
On the one hand, GND supporters display an utter lack of knowledge about basic economics and energy policy. On the other hand, it presents a wonderful opportunity to reinforce to the public the inherent value and necessity of fossil fuels. Such is the intent of this article.
For the most part, humans have eliminated the negative aspects of fossil fuel use. We can mine coal safely and burn it cleanly. Drilling sites that bring us oil and gas are safe and efficient. Yes, oil, natural gas, and coal will likely become very scarce someday, but it is very unlikely that this will happen during the lifetime of anyone alive today.
As explained by the late Thomas Gold, Professor Emeritus of Astronomy at Cornell University (ref. here, here, and, updating his work, here), research suggests we likely have enough fossil fuels to last hundreds of years into the future. And just in case those estimates are way off, we can rely on nuclear energy, which is essentially limitless.
Regardless, it’s completely untrue that fossil fuels are running low, and there is absolutely no definitive physical proof that carbon dioxide emissions from fossil-fuel combustion affect Earth’s temperature. Only mathematical models support this farce.
Nevertheless, in recent years, Americans have been inundated with endless amounts of anti-fossil-fuel propaganda. Yet, we depend on fossil fuels, because they exhibit five characteristics that result in their superiority over all other potential energy sources, including: power density (the amount of power produced divided by volume), widespread availability, storability, ease of transport, and cost.
Although nuclear power outpaces all sources for power density, compressed natural gas is not far behind—followed by oil and coal. In fact, coal has 50–75 percent the power per volume of oil (ref. here).
While the United States leads the world in coal, natural gas, and oil reserves, all three can be found in most parts of the world (ref. here and here and here). Even better, America possesses the best technology to extract all three economically, efficiently, and safely.
When it comes to storability, a small pipe carrying natural gas can supply a home with all its heating needs, while a 12-gallon tank of gasoline can carry most cars more than 300 miles. Further, people can generally store oil, natural gas, and coal anywhere onsite, if need be.
Ease of transport is yet another way that fossil fuels trump all other power sources. Everyone has seen railroad cars filled with coal carrying energy across the nation. Likewise, natural gas pipelines crisscross the country. Oil can also be safely transported by rail and trucks, although safety concerns remain an issue.
Finally, the cost of fossil fuels has plummeted in recent years (ref here). Hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling alone have cut the cost of natural gas and gasoline by half of what they were only five years ago.
All these fossil fuel wonders are ignored by GND supporters, because they are more concerned with using climate change as their Trojan horse for socialism.
And of course, climate change alarmists are compensated rather handsomely to produce “data” that support this theory. For some reason, their false predictions have been ignored and swept under the proverbial rug by the “fake news” media. Even more puzzling is that life depends upon an abundance of carbon dioxide, a fact that is nearly always ignored.
Socialists and left-leaning lawmakers and environmentalists have put fossil fuels in their crosshairs, because they don’t care that fossil fuels are the lifeblood of America’s exceptional productivity and high standard of living. Perhaps they even want the U.S. economy to crumble so they can push big government “solutions,” including the Green New Deal.
Ocasio-Cortez’s and her fellow socialists’ long-term goal is to establish a government that controls everything—energy, health care, housing, education, and more. Life in such states is documented in books like Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984. Better examples are the real-life tragedies taking place in Cuba and Venezuela.
The facts are on the side of climate realists, who advocate for the responsible use of fossil fuels, but most Americans don’t realize it because the alarmists still monopolize the media, schools, culture, and just about every other sphere of influence.
Our arguments are fully supported by the more than 100 scientists who participated in the writing of a 700-page report titled Climate Change Reconsidered Part Two: Fossil Fuels. We hope this will belay the public’s fears and energize them to combat the efforts of Ocasio-Cortez and others working to implement socialism through the guise of an unnecessary, unaffordable Green New Deal.
Ventura County Sheriff Department – Incident Press Release
On April 6, 2019, at approximately 8:00 AM, Deputies from the Sheriff’s Moorpark and Thousand Oaks Patrol Stations responded to a report of a fetus found in a metal storage bin at the Hill Canyon Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Investigators from the Sheriff’s Major Crimes Unit and the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office responded to the scene to assist with the investigation. The initial investigation revealed that the fetus entered the sewer system at an unknown location in the northern portion of the City of Thousand Oaks. Once the fetus arrived at the Hill Canyon facility, it went through a sorting process where solid and liquid materials are separated. All solid material removed from the incoming sewer system is sorted into a metal storage bin. The fetus was discovered by a Hill Canyon employee after it had been sorted into the metal storage bin.
On April 8, 2019, an autopsy was conducted on the fetus at the Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office which revealed that this was a non-viable premature male fetus. It was determined that the fetus was not capable of surviving on its own outside of the womb.
The Sheriff’s Office is not investigating this incident as a crime as we do not anticipate this developing into a criminal complaint against the mother. Instead, we are concerned for the mothers’ physical and mental wellbeing as there is a possibility the mother is in need of medical attention.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking that any member of the public with information about this incident contact Detective Ryan Poynter at (805) 384-4741 or by email at [email protected].
