The dependence on cars creates very unhealthy political climate (wars, climate change denial) and creates obesity. Unwillingness to comprehend the issues, created by cars is actually a cultural defect of the nation. OTOH, preference for sub

Patels move in areas with good schools, such as Fremont; the last thing they need is SF.

Techies are hated because, compared to old money, they seem to be (being young, probably why) self-centered, give no investments in community, are willfully agreeing to live in illegal condo conversion etc. And also, the type of techies who
