That's why I still find it odd how little CA is investing in desalination and water recycling, compared with other arid places.

That's a question of supply and demand in housing. If you use a conservative 35% debt to income, then at $15 an hour, the mortgage + tax + hoa/fees should be at $910 per month. Not much, but if it's two income household, then

The problem is made worse by unwillingness to grow the supply. The market is so distorted by NIMBYs and regulations, so you need some counterbalance, but Santa Monica has gone way too far. The NIMBYism also backfires spectacularly - the old

Santa Monica has become amazingly expensive, but the town has rent control that is even more draconian than SF. For example, unless the lease prohibits adding additional occupants, rent controlled units can be passed from one resident to an

Right, Product Owners (like Product Managers) define the "what" of the product, effectively guiding the team on what market problems to solve and for which customers. That's different from the Project Manager who works on res

Product Owner is not the same as Project Manager. Product Owner is similar to Product or Program Manager in software, though the Product Owner role is usually a subset focused on software development and does not include go to market and P&

It also seems strange that the rest of the tractor trailer was not picked up by the radar when it was entering the road in the first place - the front part that is pulling the trailer is typically lower and should not have been mistaken for

For it to be a golden ticket, someone has to hire them at a good salary. If the person went to 4th rate school and has no skills to compete in the job market, it's not really a golden ticket and not a drain on the economy as they don&#

Not saying it couldn't be, but as of late the overall market seems to be more pessimistic and therefore discounts prospects of future earnings more than usual. That said, I'm no expert.

About 7x revenues. That's a pretty high multiple, but hopefully they can pull it off. Recent IPOs weren't nearly as aggressive, but of course different industries. Will be interesting to see how investors react to lack of long ter

Most 1-room apartments in Russia/former soviet bloc also have the 1DK layout - that extra room makes an amazingly big difference in livability.

If they are serious about space efficiency, they should look at layouts Soviets developed to "warehouse" their citizen in - no luxury, but it really worked magic with efficiency. I grew up in 33 m^2 apartment. Layout is similar to

I'm pretty sure LA is still a sprawl and density has increased very little. Even in Santa Monica, and the rest of beach areas, there are plenty of single family homes. Not sure if they make up the majority of residential land, but sure
