The rents of restaurant and residential properties seem like orthogonal issues. I have never read that San Francisco has a shortage of retail or restaurant space. In other cities where I've lived, when a restaurant loses a lease in this man

How does lack of housing cause high rents for restaurants?

Prices (in SF, anyway) have also increased dramatically since I left the area in 2009. I got paid more and paid less for rent when I moved to NYC, which didn't make sense to me, either.

Houston has the advantages of affordable property, more jobs for a wider range of backgrounds and few limits to development. It seems natural that new immigrants not specifically involved in the software industry would choose Houston over S

This study puts a few cities ahead of Houston. http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/09/07/which-u-s-cities-a... (I don't really care what city wins, but it was absurd to read that the Silicon Valley area was not diverse...)

San Jose (the largest city in Silicon Valley) has no demographic group comprising more than 35% of the entire population. http://www.forbes.com/sites/trulia/2012/11/13/finding-divers...

San Jose is the main city in Silicon Valley and is the most diverse city in the country. http://www.forbes.com/sites/trulia/2012/11/13/finding-divers...

San Francisco is in the top 10 most diverse cities in the country, but both San Jose and Oakland are more diverse than SF.

Whether or not you think it's funny, Silicon Valley is statistically the most diverse community in the USA.

Those stats seem bad to me. I just wanted to throw out some actual reported numbers.

Cash crops, sugar, meat and milk production are extremely regulated and subsidized. However, the production of many agricultural products like fruits, vegetables and nuts is pretty close to "raw capitalism."

You can't really sell alcohol across state lines. I helped build one of the first online wine sales sites and they imploded due to spending tons of money trying to establish a complicated system of warehouses in every state in order to comp

Where I grew up everyone had a shotgun and/or a deer rifle in their truck. I guess I wasn't equating being armed with having a concealed carry permit.

The post I was replying to is largely correct. Criminals don't have suppressors because there is no secondary market for suppressors due to regulation. That said, I would guess they wouldn't need or use them even if they were available.

Most concealed carry people I know use a normal sized 9mm. It's only been very recently that mouse guns have become trendy. Kahr has only existed as a company since the mid 90s. However, I wasn't talking about concealed carry when I made my

Suppressors are legal in all but 11 states if you fill out the paperwork.

There is a recent tweet claiming a "public safety exemption" will be used to bypass Miranda rights. That said, I'm not sure exactly what that means, either. https://twitter.com/abc/status/325417178927083524

There's a lot of practical information to be obtained, though. What the elder brother was doing out of the country for 6 months, through what channels he became radicalized, whether they were co-conspirators or the younger was just along fo
