They do for sale. Sacramento hasn't been a big renter's market.

Understandable for sure. I'm not a nimby but I don't see how blindly building housing in certain areas will ever lead to a stopping of public heroin injection and meth smoking. The housing cost link seems flimsy on its best day. &

If it's supply, why are there high numbers of homeless in lower cost areas like Sacramento that have lots of supply?

Without actually reading anything more than the headline Edit: Sans real data, this article just fuels anecdata based political pissing matches. This article is flotsam.

This article is rather thin on facts connecting the rise of California real estate to homelessness. There's a passing mention of a WaPo article that mostly lists addiction and legal hurdles as the reason for homelessness. How did this

Umm the Irish Channel is just a neighborhood name. It's not a canal. Yes, thousands of Irish died from yellow fever and malaria while digging canals in New Orleans (Basin St and those going to the lake). They were considered expendable

It reminds me of the misguided logic in mandatory helmet laws for motorcycles. They're more costly because people have higher survival rates. Whereas people who make the bad decision of not wearing a helmet are killed quickly - there&#

Out of curiosity, how do they handle the transmissions in self-driving trucks? My guess was automatics, but torque converter automatics aren't strong enough for use in a big-rig like this. DSG? Fully "automatic" clutch-based

It's pretty effective for things like Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), at least in my experience. I don't know enough about all of the glue in-between, but things like Suricata scream when combined with dedicated kernel bypass c

You're both right. It's an older term from the early 90's when a router's selling point was being able to hit "line rate" with the smallest possible packet size. Example, how many tiny datagrams can you forward

UPS used to do this in the 80s and 90s. At least our driver did.

Those stats are based on city and not MSA. If it were MSA, the Bay Area would be equivalent to New York. The city of New York includes all boroughs, not just Manhattan. If you compared Manhattan to SF, I bet they would be similar. Also, I&#

How did they remove the cars from the road? I'd imagine traffic at the mixmaster and various loops are still terrible. I had a reverse commute (Lower McKinney to Las Colinas), and I'd see gridlock the entire way there (other direc

Yeah, the murder rate has gone down only because first responders are getting better at treating gunshot wounds. The actual violence rate is up. And now, 11 people shot on Canal Street. This seems to happen every few years in NOLA. It almos

Social programs are almost entirely funded through voter approved bond sales. Their funding won't take a hit if there's an exodus of wealth. The bonds are already sold. Completely agree with you on the overdone clickbait!

They don't pay very well. They can't compete for top talent like other companies can.

It happened to me in Chicago, twice in one weekend. All I did was wear a pink shirt and walk down the street. That was enough to garner homophobic slurs. I'm not gay and when I mentioned it to one of my Chicago friends, and he just shr

Dallas is terribad. At least it was in 1999 when I lived there. I can't believe that there are fewer people on the road and less traffic now than then. Fun trivia tip: the opening scene of "Office Space" with the old person a

This ^^ Most brokerages make the lion's share of their profits on carried interest in cash accounts, not trading. Robinhood isn't forcing this merger at all. TDA was ripe for the taking considering its nice overlap with Schwab dem

Sell side sales will probably stay in SF for west coast clients. I doubt Schwab has much in the way of Asia customers, but I bet there's a lot of west coast whales.

Texas and the oil industry are one and the same, fully intertwined. God help the poor soul that owns land where a private oil company wants to build a pipeline or plant. Said land will be instantly seized by the company under eminent domain

Yep, and after this the new company will have nothing to do with Canada. Toronto Dominion shares in TD Ameritrade will be cashed out. Though it will be interesting to see if they still get their back end cut like they do now.

Square is still in SF.....for now. Stripe left/is leaving.

Been in the Bay since 2000. I grew up in NOLA through the worst years. Can't unsee what I've seen there. NOLA is bad because crime is everywhere. There are no good areas and bad areas -- it's everywhere. Even people in old Me

I also said, that SF isn't the entire Bay Area. If you gave weightings to crime categories (we all do this internally), property crime would probably be the lowest weighted next to white collar crime. Violent crime would get exponentia

I'm from New Orleans and will take all of the broken glass and addicts over NOLA's violent crime. It's not even a close comparison.

by scurvy 7y ago
Yes, SF does rank #1 nationally for property crimes. It stinks, but most people value life more than property. Violent crime in the Bay Area is still much lower than national averages, and that's what most people concentrate on. Also,

You must not live in the Bay Area and are merely reaching for talking points. Everyone in CA knows that property tax money goes straight to the state and is divvied up there. It's collected locally, then sent straight to the state. CA

Crime through the roof? People who live in actual high crime areas would like a word with you. It sounds like you've experienced more than your fair share of crime since moving to the BA, but calling it high crime is beyond a stretch.

You should know from your own background that AT&T doesn't quite have a history of excellence in the Internet realm.
