NIMBYism is human reluctance to change manifested. Housing prices in Austin, Raleigh/Durham/Cary, Pittsburgh, Boulder, Bend are becoming unaffordable to folks who were there 10 years prior. And I wouldn't be surprised if exis

Folks would totally salary arbitrage if it was easy, but there's a few hoops to jump through (payroll allowing it, mail forwarding, timezones with coworkers, new languages, new bureaucracies). Not to mention the caring for older family

Depends on zoning laws in the area and how much residents nearby have a say in things. In the US, there are plenty of cities where neighbors would block a modernist concrete house from being built because it "ruins the neighborhood cha

To put it in perspective: city-focused travel backpacks that were not hiking backpacks weren't common 8-10 years ago. The options were pretty much Tom Bihn, Patagonia, Osprey, Minaal, and Tortuga. Anyways, Goruck bags were a welcome a

They make "slick" versions of their bags without the molle strips, but the 1000D or 500D fabric is overkill for most. The one external pocket can be hard to dig into if the bag is packed full.

I'd argue 25-30mph is not an easy cruising speed for most bike commuters. Unless I'm on the wrong forum and everyone here races Cat 1/2 in their spare time.
