Goodwill (or similar) is your friend here. Physical media players are likely to get purged when someone's de-cluttering their home.

Anecdote, but I've gone back to public library DVDs and Blu-rays for titles unavailable on streaming for similar reasons to what you've described. I'm in the States, so it's less of an issue of region/market lock-ou

Sounds like a less-scalable metro system, a technology that predates this "innovation" by a century or so.

Contrary to popular belief, gas taxation does not come close to covering the cost of road maintenance and construction.

That's a good point. I know Penn is a major bottleneck (we have Christie to thank for that after killing ARC), and there's the added problem of delays conflicting with Metro North/NJT schedules. We need infrastructure investm

Ahh, the classic, "We've defunded and gutted this government program. Look! Government doesn't work!" that the American right traffics in. The private sector is the reason for these delays. http://blog.amtrak.

Even smaller parks in San Francisco, like Buena Vista, have surprisingly large amounts of wildlife despite being in dense areas. I've seen coyotes and raccoons in my neighborhood. In preserved areas like the Presidio and the Headlands,
