#12Cars really should be put underground. Electric cars going in tunnels, not gasoline cars spewing the exhaust from the top of the bridge.
… The mansion’s bright white siding is turning dull and black from car exhaust. …

#13FTA, $500 per day to rent an historic mansion overlooking the bay (i.e. before the bridge obstruction)
I have a family wedding to attend back east this autumn and we're looking at around that (before "service fees" and taxes) to sleep 5 out in the sticks of New Hampshire -- short-term housing has truly gotten out of hand, basically everywhere.

Yeah Airbnb has become so outrageously expensive and is so much less convenient than a hotel that it's almost never worth it anymore, it's crazy.

It puts the fun into “In 2000 we’ll have flying cars” when the whole XXth century was spent building highways and ramps that were higher and higher into the air, and the whole XXIth will be spent trying to put them underground. The real futurist landscape is a city like Lyon in France, or Amsterdam, where cars are put away and we walk or bike to work.

It's sad because AirBnB has also similarly shrunk the "suite" class of room that we as a 5 person family need. So we're forced into using AirBnB/VRBO because hotels only offer 2+2 (and most rental sites don't let you even look for 5 person rooms). Ugh.

Flying cars is a dream of baby boomers. To everyone else, this is a nightmarish scenario of unending noise and exhaust spewing from these baby boomers flying over the residential areas.

#19The ads on this site are unbearable on mobile.
Brave blocks ads natively in their mobile browser, you should give them a shot.
There is a lot I don't like about Brave, but I can't fault them for having the best mobile app on market (for me).
Why not Firefox? Bad redesign release a few years back and now discernible way to change the accessibility so it holds always. Old.reddit text is too small to be read no matter what I've tried.
None of the other browsers on Android I've found to be worth the time.

We have plenty of flying cars today thanks to our crumbling infrastructure! It's that infernal hard stop at the end that's the problem. /s
