It's much less geographically constrained than Vancouver and it has fewer tech millionaires than the Valley. It has also had fairly significant price gains over the last few years though.

You miss out on special education support. Have reading troubles? Behind the curve in math ability? Have motor skills issues that make writing difficult? You're told to drop out of French immersion and return to the main English stream

The Bay Area has no place to criticize anyplace else for bad transit infrastructure. Toronto's infrastructure has issues, but it beats most US cities.

Considering many central banks are moving towards zero or negative interest rates there's a significant cost to hoarding cash. But as you say it is a good strategy for individuals, it's not a good universal strategy - see https:&

"States are also readying for bad times by squirreling away more cash in reserves." Now both huge companies and local governments are hoarding cash. Which is problematic for the economy as a whole.

For police, I honestly don't get the sense that they're really overburdened. Sunnyvale rates as one of the safest cities in the US. For parking, Sunnyvale is indeed surprisingly bad. For a sleepy town with nothing to do you often

I don't take it personally and you are very correct. I'm just resigned that urban planning decisions made in 1960 are effectively irreversible.

There is a new school being built but it's in an area that's already underserved and bussing kids pretty far. SCUSD (much of Sunnyvale is in the Santa Clara Unified School District - why school district boundaries are disjoint wit

Not sure why I'm being downvoted - my personal opinion is that densification of Sunnyvale and the area in general is fine, but the opposition to it isn't completely irrational. Short of a nuclear bomb going off Sunnyvale is never

by guyzero 10y ago
Well as an actual Sunnyvale resident the fears are slightly more rational: cars on roads, kids in schools and no increase in infrastructure to go along with the thousands of new residents. Some of the buildings have less than one parking sp

yes, clearly the entire population of the US opposes every regulation ever enacted by the government.

And to elaborate on this, wealthy societies "buy" all sorts of things via regulation that can't be directly purchased. Americans "buy" consumer safety by enacting regulations that reduce competition and increase ove

Americans like safety more than they like free markets. You might feel otherwise, but US citizens have made their collective decision.

But the difference, if you read the docs, is that everything below 16 megapixels is the same for high quality and original quality. The only photos that ever get downsampled are ones above 16 megapixels.

These "motors" aren't expensive, they're completely theoretical. There's no proof anyone has built a frame-rim reluctance motor anywhere ever. The linked article literally says "So, is an electromagnetic wheel

What kind of motor then? Wheel hub motors are sufficiently large that you could recognize one from meters away. There are only so many places to put a motor on a bicycle and at some point you have to come up with an explanation for what hap

These motors work by directly coupling to the pedal shaft in the bottom bracket. It's hard to tell but it seems pretty clear to me that the pedals on Hesjedal's bike are not turning when it lands. The angular momentum is just from

Surprised the article doesn't try the hypothesis that the issue is access to high-quality hospitals and medical schools. Detroit is a nice enough town (in parts) but I'd rather get sick in New York City.
