I stopped going to San Francisco and Oakland years ago, so my odds of death are not anywhere near that. I also wouldn't go to Chicago and several other cities. When I drove down Baja Mexico, I also avoided stopped at all in Tijuana. I

Sell $40b of Tesla without causing a dip, is worth a lot more than $1b. A 3% dip from news he's selling that much stock would cost way more than $1b.

A home in SF is over $1 million, or a 1 bedroom apartment is $3000. How much would home prices have to fall to make it 'affordable' and a viable option compared to homelessness? Are there really people living on the street because

I just think the money is a weird metric. If a guy is 5'6", he could either remain a chubby dork and try to earn $270k, or he could work out and have some kind of leadership role in his community to get a better quality woman. Sou

Northern California is not much different. It actually makes most plug in hybrids cheaper to run on gas than electric at around $3.50 a gallon and below. https://www.pge.com/en_US/residential/rate-plans/rate-p

The stat I gave was for the home owner being injured during the burglary. This is not even talking about all the burglaries when no one is home or when they run off when they realize someone is home (and could have a gun). But definitely,

In America, a home robbery including injury to the habitants, is more common that a whole house fire. I looked this up years ago when discussing gun ownerships with friends, refuting why they think gun ownership is for the paranoid, but yet

I sold cars for a living and was basically top 0.1-0.2% at it nationwide. Every now and then a coworker would say that selling cars was easy work. So I'd ask him if it's so easy, why didn't he promise to double his sales next

If rent wasnt super high, where would the person that happily rents an apartment for $4k a month actually live? Since his apartment wouldn't be available as someone paying $900 a month would still be in it.

The fact that they are basically taxes not tied to income is pretty annoying. If you're barely scraping by, the state should not be taxing you as heavily on a gallon of gasoline as a doctor that barely blinks as they fill up their Scla

Gas was not below $1 a gallon in 1996. Especially not in California. Also, cars weren't getting the mpg they are now. Cost per mile relative to minimum wage probably isn't that far off.. which you can probably see from data that
