trust me I know but it doesn't make it less ridiculous that its technically easier to build railway from Vegas to LA than making the small ~6 mile trip from the airport to downtown which I think would have a greater impact upon the city of Las Vegas.
I have never understood why so many people care about how much someone else makes. If they feel they are qualified for such a position so that they too can make that kind of money and have those same responsibilities there is nothing stopping them from applying.
SF is indeed cooler than the Southbay and has a climate that varies less throughout the year. That being said the ability of the human body to adapt is quite impressive. I moved to Houston in July which is one of the hottest months of the year here. The first week or so the heat was noticeable...
This!!! I dont see why people who are successful are looked down upon in SF. Success should be something that is encouraged not frowned upon. People should be encouraged to work hard, get good jobs, and benefit economically from them. Yet, I feel that many people believe that people who are...
overall climate is just one of the many factors that determine whether or not somewhere is a desireable place to live. NYC has the exact same climate classification as Houston yet its looked at one of the most desirable places in the US to live.
the heat is really not that bad. I really was expecting to suck ass like vegas in the summer but it rarely gets to 100. the humidity makes you sweat easier if you do manual labor outside you do sweat like a whore in church. but over all its not too bad.
I live in the city and work in the...
like it or not money has an impact in the lives of everyone. Whether or not you think its fair there is no other method available which is accepted by everyone to allocate scarce goods (e.g. housing in SF) if there is a better method let me know about it because i'd like to learn about it.
Its funny to me that you used Houston as an example because I moved to Houston from the South bay this past July and I used much of the same logic that you used to justify my move. I had spent a little more than half my life living in the Bay Area (the rest in Los Angeles) Graduated from high...
Google located in Mountain View because its in Silicon Valley. They located Google in silicon valley for 2 main reasons which are having access to investment capital when they were just starting out and because of the highly educated human capital. Both of which are extremely important to...
they also have buses in the eastbay. The activist are hating that google employees not only are having these buses picking them up but are also dramatically raising the rents on the areas immediately around the stops. If google was located in an area which was served by bart and they did not...
I am just waiting for google to move to a much more business friendly state where they will be welcome with open arms and where they would even have special spots for their buses. I dont know why they put up with the BS, its not like they dont have the money to relocate and dont have job that...
ummmm you know that there are lots of places just like that in California........ Just leave the cities and go for a drive and you'll end up going through areas where you wont be able to tell whether you are in TX or CA.
I never understood people who believe they have a right to live anywhere they do not own. What do they not understand about not owning something. the funny part is that all these extremely restrictive policies actually increase the rents of places in SF/bay area since then there is lots of...
thats not really uncommon in any metro area. I know quite a few a few people who commuted from the central valley to San Jose. All I know is that I was not willing to do that horrible commute all for the luxury of living in valley :P
If BB released a comparable phone to the SG5 when it gets released in a few months I would strongly consider picking it up. I really liked the BB's I have had but they do not release new phones are regularly as other companies.
Stockton is no Atherton but its not Detroit either......
I get the feeling that most of the people who think Stockton is so bad have only seen it from the safe confines of their vehicles while driving at high rates of speed on the highway.
I still dont know why so many people believe its a right to live in one of the most expensive cities in the country. As someone who just moved from the bay area to Texas I was no longer able to justify the cost of living. I did not demand that the state modify its tax structure to fit my needs...
I still dont know why they just do not move somewhere where they wont have to deal with so much BS from NIMBY's Its not like they would have be able to replace all the people who would be unwilling to move considering all the people in the world who would LOVE to work for them.
