Whole Foods and Trader Joes both have it, but honestly in almost every recipe subbing Sour Cream (or even a thicker greek yogurt) in place of Cream Fraiche will basically produce the same result. If you need a ton of it in the recipe and you sub it might be a bit tangier but honestly they're so similar its hard to tell the difference unless you're just eating them by themselves IMO.

I don't understand why no candidate has the balls to just propose arresting, prosecuting, and jailing people shooting up on the street.

At this point I don't really give a fuck that it's a "disease" anymore. Yeah in a perfect world there'd be help, and I'd be happy to literally double my state income tax rate if it meant funding programs that actually got these people into (involuntary) treatment but honestly, I'm tired of giving a fuck about these people. Tired of not being able to use the El because homeless drug addicts are shooting up on the train at all hours of the day, tired of not being able to walk my dog without having to look out for loose needles. Tired of wondering if I should tell my in-laws to just drive in and spend 30 minutes looking for street parking rather than take the regional rail because it seems like every other week some crazy homeless person stabbed another one to death in a station.

Why the fuck should I care about all these drugged out junkies? I'd rather we put them in treatment, but honestly I just want them off the streets so jail will do just fine. The entire rest of our city shouldn't have to suffer because of these people.

One I can think of in my neighborhood is the massive block-sized vacant warehouse in Olde Kensington between Master and Jefferson and Howard and Maascher. It's nice that it's being renovated and businesses will be moving in, but they re-did the sidewalk around the entire thing and tore down almost all the trees that surrounded it. Most of these trees were like 30 feet tall. There should have been more effort made to keep them.
