What a lot of pro-transit (full disclosure, I am full transit) folks fail to mention, is that most streetcars were initially built, in particular, those out towards the sunset, big chunks of LA, were actually built by property developers, a

No that's just the particular floor we happened to be on. I think the bank was on 38 and the trading floor was... 32?, executive suite was 41 or something. We had like five or six floors in the upper third of the 42 story building and

We rented a houseboat on a lake for a week in northern Canada when I was 6 or 7, and I'm still haunted by the number of mosquitoes to this day. We cut the trip short to about 2 days and immediately went home and I think only visited Ca

We had to cancel a lot of summer vacation plans as our kid wasn't eligible to get vaccinated (until very recently) and they abruptly cancelled the in flight mask mandate. The scenario you describe is exactly why we wear N95 in the airp

Immunity also depends on viral load. If you are hot-boxing in a tiny subcompact car for 48 hours cross country road trip with someone who is highly contagious, is different than sitting in a large, indoor restaurant across the table for an
