Why people would voluntarily go to large crowded gatherings at this time is beyond me

I followed your advice and searched on the Airbnb reddit for advice on review removal. And the results are the opposite of what you indicated. All posts are about how incredibly difficult it is to get reviews removed from Airbnb [1]. And it

Can you share an example of a place where you stayed at and the negative review was removed ? Would be great to see a before and after screenshot so that people are aware that this is happening

I agree with you. Some fundamentals don’t shift dramatically. A condo in Pac Heights or Marina or downtown Palo Alto will continue to hold value compared to a SOMA condo

Due to lower labor cost and relatively stable government. Nobody even knows what China’s tax rates are. These jobs are also not in Chad or Central African republic

Just FYI, people have seen headline numbers in this Zillow report for SF market. But it is misleading. The overall housing market in Bay Area is actually stronger than pre-COVID [1] Even within SF, prices in condos are dropping but SFH are

Is there any evidence for that assertion ? I mean you take any European country such as Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, UK, and even France. Where taxes are remarkably high, and definitely far fewer billionaires per capita. Europ

I think you are forgetting the major difference between now and 70s - massive wealth concentration, and the complete destruction of sustainable middle class jobs. Look at the pandemic. 40 mn people were unemployed, but billionaire wealth co

We are on track for 200k deaths in 4 months. Are we still spreading that flu meme ?

There is no way SF had 2.5x violent crime. SF is exceptionally safe when it comes to violent crime, with only ~40 homicides last year

Since this whole thread is based on anecdotal evidence. I will offer mine. I work for a large unicorn where most employees live in SF or Bay Area. Almost none have left SF permanently. Many people moved in with their parents or relatives to

SF has no income tax. This is incorrect

100 for this long ? Last year the highest we got was 90s for a couple of days. I have never experienced 100 degree weather here on 12 years of living here. And that too for days

I don’t know what’s the big deal is. A couple hours of outage for a few households for once a decade event is not reflection of anything

I don’t know what you are comparing. A power outage due to an accident, affecting a limited population is very different than blackouts. Such emergency outages happen every day

Indian reservations are truly in horrific condition. I have spent many days in Navajo nation during my time in Arizona and it reminds of developing countries

I live in a suburb of the Bay Area where temperatures are usually in 70s and 80s. Suddenly it is going to be 100 for 5 day straight. I have never seen anything like this

Based on a lot of responses here, Santa Cruz seems really popular.:) I bet surfer dudes are getting a little nervous. I actually moved from a SF to a East Bay suburb in the Bay Area, and bought home on a 0.5 acre land. Great school, only 25

The thing is that the option to be a contractor can always exist, along with having an option to be a full time employee. Generally, I agree that a company shouldn't be an entity that its core workforce is a bunch of "temps"

Gates is fighting climate change, funding vaccine movements, and said some mean things about the White House. What did you expect ?

Your second paragraph is scary. It essentially says that a private organization should make business decisions that doesn't upset the king. We have entered faux democracy

ADT is a near scam home security company who force you into signing aggressive 3 yr contracts

VC funding is a good proxy measure of startup activity, but more importantly, a strong indicator of where engineers are getting hired

Comparing to European countries is not apples to apples, as Europe may rely on different avenues of funding. An apples to apples comparison will be comparing to other US regions. Where, I don’t believe SLC even cracks the top 10. After SF,

Can we just stop calling every place with a few startups, the next Silicon Valley ? Just as the article said, Utah startups didn’t even raise combined $1bn in 2017, where SV companies routinely raise 30-40bn every year. It is just another b

This ruling on international student is just plain cruel. I know how much hard work I had to put in to secure an F1 visa, and then had to invest in lease, buying a car etc. with very meager means. To come in the middle of that and tell ever
