As an example, riding public transit from Marina Green to Beach Chalet takes 1 hour in Muni: https://goo.gl/maps/8mPmP8ZsC61c2CL5A and involves a change of buses. Is it worth it to spend $20 and do it in 1/3 the

And you know what governments do when unemployment in this demographic becomes too high? Start wars. Expect some ratcheting up of tensions with Taiwan, India, Japan, etc. Followed by picking on a perceived weak adversary and a short conflic

The solution might be to tax second-home owners heavily, and use those funds to fund affordable housing. I visited Maui recently and was surprised to see the number of resorts over there, and the large single-family homes. TBH, after visiti
