Uber is 30% less than taxi's in SF. I think in NY it is also cheaper than taxi's. Your data might be a year behind, when it used to be more expensive.

For years people said this about Uber in London but now the cabbies are protesting them because they're getting a lot of traction. It's important to remember that Uber is cheaper than cabs in almost all of the markets they're

I've had a good experience with homejoy thus far, we usually get the same guy and he does a good job. It's not cheap but worked out well for us in SF.

If Uber had a frequent driver program I'm pretty sure I'd be a power user based on this.

Right, I live in SF and moved for tech but really embrace the city, get involved with my community and try to be neighborly. I only want what's best for all of the residents.

WeWork Golden Gate in this neighbourhood is an amazing co-working building, with 6 floors they're building out and affordable prices. With everything you'd expect from coworking (beer on tap, fast wifi, big conference rooms, etc)

We're trying to fix urban parking with Spot (starting in San Francisco), connecting homeowners with parkers when they're not using their spot. They can drag to set their schedule or set it based on days and we let them start earni

Croydon is really improving and there's actually a pretty cool surging tech scene there. As they have a lot of fibre, cheap commercial property, support from council and transport links. Not that I'm saying people should work in C

I went a really mediocre, boring restaurant yesterday that had a score of 98. Didn't change my mind on it.

What a shame, I've been using Exec for ikea furniture and it was great. The cleaning service is incredibly expensive vs Homejoy which provide an incredible service.
