The US has zero cities in the top 30 of that list, not really supporting your argument. (EDIT, it is also amazingly US centric and still doesn't rate US cities higher, NYC is given a base score of 100 and other cities are essentially c

Taken with a grain of salt. Supporting free trade is literally one of the founding reasons for this publication. From wikipedia "The Economist was founded by the British businessman and banker James Wilson in 1843, to advance the repea

There weren't large numbers of attackers back then. The article is talking about the Neolithic-Era so approx 3500 BC. I would say that it would be relatively easy to defend against 5x the amount of people if you could pick them off as

I really feel that any article that quotes the founding story of a startup/company/product is just being plain lazy and it's an instant turn off for me.

Nope. “Last year, the 24-member coffee cooperative harvested 250 pounds of beans.“ So 24 farmers harvested 250 lbs, all of it bought by the one roaster at $60 /lb. Coffee plants take 18 months before they start producing harvestable am

So stupid. 250 pounds of beans were harvested. That is less than 2 (150lb) bags of coffee. This is pure novelty. Just because someone can get a coffee plant to grow coffee in California does not mean the coffee will be any good. Coffee grow

Yes, and people want to be listened to and attributing what you are saying to someone with better credentials is essentially a way of increasing the power of what you are saying.

I think a half hour for 1 mile is definitely the exception not the rule. I could see it happening if there was a major accident blocking all of the lanes of the freeway but thats about it. For surface streets I think traffic dissipates much

Sure, but travelling on those systems takes a long time. When I lived in London a 1 hour commute was seen as totally normal. That was by train and I had a very direct single overground train to take (Kentish town to Chiswick if I remember).

Yes car is king in LA. In recent years though Lyft/Uber have changed the game a lot. I'd say it's cost effective to not have a car at this stage, especially when you add in the cost of parking.

LA doesn't have a traffic problem. People just have overly high expectations. As someone who has also lived and commuted in lots of cities around the world, LA just doesn't have that much of a problem. What other major city in the

and the US has the absolute worst recording on changing their constitution. The last amendment (the 27th) was ratified in 1992 and took nearly 203 years to become law. I think they should lower the barriers to getting stuff done.

I don't think thats the point being made. Just that this will probably make German cars more expensive, but Britain doesn't make any good cars of their own and so they don't have a ton of other options.
