The problem is that all of those places are planned. I get major 'Soviet Central Planning' vibes from the USA when it comes to zoning and planning out cities. Of course the people making the decisions on planning have no idea what

Motorcycling, cycling, and walking are all significantly worse than traveling by car. Is this because of the chance of getting hit by a car?

Obviously it isn't a hellscape. That was a term meant to evoke the negative consequences of suburban sprawl. There are plenty of positive things about it for people that live there.

The American suburban model of separating structures out by usage type is not efficient in the least. It is orderly, but that is about it.

Anybody with a $200 Chromebook can now write things that are read more than ever before. People have a voice that was unthinkable even 50 years ago. CEOs can't go to space quite yet. However, it appears that space is about to get far m

I think it is a good service and might actually feel good for the celebrity even outside of the money aspect. I used it to have a minor celebrity from my wife's favorite show wish her a happy birthday. She loved it. I would be interest

Some truly crazy things happened. One that I always thought was interesting was about two B-17s that collided and then they kept flying on together and even attempted to land: http://overlord-wot.blogspot.com/2015/07&#x
