You underestimate things. Is Tokyo a destination city? Yes. Total urban population? 38 million people. I don't think you realize how attractive a beautiful city really is to the pe…

It does not matter , the 'supply being constrained' point. Let's say that Palo Alto allows high-density housing. Will that solve the housing supply issue? No. You missed the point …

The east coast of the USA was settled first, recall. What did they do back east to 'solve' this problem of "we're running out of space"? They increased the density of occupants per…

Maybe this type of FB behavior will finally kill that awful web site. Sites like this have become a 'punitive tease' -- it's hard to know when the rug will be pulled out from under…

No. No error. Pot smokers make bad decisions MUCH more frequently than sober non-users. I am in a position to observe that -- lots of non-users and a few users, at our properties I…

'DGAF' is not always evident in the short time we meet, interact with a new tenant. Unlike a job interview process (several stages of contact: phone, in person several times, etc.)…

Imagine showing vacant apartments to prospective renters since 1993 -- for 23 years. Lots of units, lots of prospective tenants. In 1993 I had no pool of 'before move-in/after move…

INSIGHT: Being in a position to observe the behavior of users -- MANY users -- over a period of time, and non-users in the same settings. Most of you probably don't have that exper…

Money. Money as motivator. Was building hardware devices for musical pursuits (guitar effects) and my 1st degree was in EE. You can graduate with an EE degree, having taken a cours…

Easy to buy a condo in Silicon Valley on an Engineer's salary. For as little as $350,000 you can have your own place. If you're a first time buyer you can come in with 10% down; an…

No it's actually true, and everyone knew from the context I meant commerce monopolies in capitalist economies, such as Microsoft, IBM (in the early days of computers you apparently…

Arrogance from a seller of a good or service alienates/pisses off their customers. SCENE: You walk into a large retail TV/tech/stereo store. There are monitors displaying ads. NOT …

The Feds are probably furious. Replacing the U.S. currency is seen as a threat; any and all alternative types of 'medium of exchange' have been ruthlessly attacked/shut down by the…

Here's an interview question I might pose to candidates (for a coding job): "Which torrent site with access to popular songs and movies over the past 5 years has been the best, mea…

GOOD RIDDANCE. The example of Zuckerberg stealing the idea for Facebook and getting rich has contributed to the foolish belief that it's okay to "enjoy the benefit of something tha…

The problem with calling out 'jerks, bozos and assholes' is contextual -- social norms/what works in NYC is quite different from small-town Indiana for example. Two ways to handle …

This is a WHISTLE BLOWER situation. First identify who is trying to persecute the whistleblower. There, you've found the party that has committed untoward acts who is now trying to…

Assange hints that the leaks may be from the DNC itself. Recall that a DNC insider, Seth Rich, who worked on exposing election fraud during the Democratic party's primaries was mur…

I know the founder, Marcus Weller. I've had business dealings with him at the time Skully was just an idea, in the very formative stages. I wanted to tell him "look dude, anything …

Not sure what point you're making. I did read the article. There's no getting around history. The reasons are very complex but the facts are this: in our current period, the distri…

Edward Snowden was the source of leaks exposing the massive and illegal snooping on U.S. citizens by our government. The vast majority of U.S. citizens did not focus anger on the l…

Ignoring genetic dispositions and innate traits because they're socially 'inconvenient' is foolish. Assume for a moment that all humans have the exact same innate, instinctive trai…

The very interesting thing is the degree of denial - of ANY negative side effect -- of using pot among any user. The vast majority of smokers would laugh it off if they were told "…

Why didn't Tesla build its largest-in-the-industry battery factory here? Why did Toyota move out? "Business relocation expert Joe Vranich has been counting. “I tracked for 2011, th…

Actually, no, you're 100% wrong -- dangerously wrong. Failure to follow the law has consequences. My point is that, simply. "Getting a benefit that is legally required to be paid f…
