Your description doesn't really sound like any actual city that I know of, although it sounds a little like how someone who's never been to New York City might describe it. Do you have a particular city in mind? Because "car-

This article has been discussed to death on HN. It's been posted 13 times by my count, the most recent of which was a mere 24 days ago! Is there some reason why we need to rehash it again, or is this just spam? https://hn.al

I think, increasingly these days, those who are in the wrong (like the picket-line crossing author) know that they're wrong and wallow in it like pigs in... mud. You can't convince folks like that, and it's disingenuous of th
