Dude, like you, I'm also Mexican. My parents live in Guanajuato state. My entire family has been affected by what's been happening in Mexico. I never argued that the entities are m…

> Did you know that Mexico is starting to actually fight against narcos? For 40 years, maybe more, there wasn't even a mention of that in the Mexican Government. This is plain wron…

This would be similar to the French model, which allows youths born in France (except in Mayotte) to non-French parents between the ages of 13 and 16 to become naturalized by decre…

I've been waiting for something like this. I've got most of my emails, text messages and social media posts since 1997. One day I'm going to load it all up on something like this.

That's certainly a factor. Commercial corridors became commercial corridors in SF because they were more accessible for horse and carriage back in the 1850-90s since they were flat…

All the same constraints apply to San Francisco! What little parking exists is expensive and traffic is so bad that getting around by bike is nine times out of ten faster than driv…

Neighborhood greenways and bike boulevards are becoming more and more common in the US and within professional bike advocacy circles. The reason why these treatments aren't front a…

It is maddening, but I also understand where some Polk merchants are coming from. They're being asked to stake their livelihood on a relatively radical proposal, at least by Americ…
