Just search for 4. You're almost never going to get in trouble for sleeping 2 adults and 3 kids in a hotel room for 4.
Often you can find that they will charge $xx per additional person, if you go over the listed figure (if you choose to declare the overage).

Why tunnels tho? Or rather, why single occupancy vehicles in tunnels? It just feels like a public transit system with extra steps…
Because a lot of people will never want to take public transit even if it was more convenient than it is now. In the US outside of NY, Chicago, SF, and perhaps a few others public transit sucks. Even adding 5 new light rail lines isn’t going to change things in Houston when most people want suburban life and only go downtown for a sporting event or concert.
Saying people would never use transit even if it were more convenient doesn’t match the pattern of what I’ve observed actual humans do. It would be nice if there was a study on this.

You choose poorly, I’m afraid to say. I ask my guests to do nothing but lock the door behind them, and I don’t charge a cleaning fee.
Yeah blame me all you want but you’re an exception, not the rule. Good for you though and I hope to find more hosts like you.
>> In 1998, the feud between the Navy, which still owned Yerba Buena Island, and Brown went public. Navy officials expressed frustration that the new eastern span would flow directly over Nimitz House and the nearby historic residences of other officers. A Navy aide called the plan “devastating.” Not In My Immediate Territorial Zone
“Oh yeah? We’re the state! You and what navy will stop us?”
“We ARE the Navy!”
“Oh.”

Travel Agents tend to be free (for the traveler), what are you talking about?
Unless they are also free for the person renting out the place, wouldn't they simply raise the price by the cost of the travel agent?

I’m not sure if your first sentence is true, but it’s an interesting idea. My gut says even the most staunchly anti-local transit folks would still gladly use public transit in a city that has a good system (e.g. if they were to visit Paris, or Tokyo, etc). Saying people would never use transit even if it were more convenient doesn’t match the pattern of what I’ve observed actual humans do. It would be nice if there…

I've been living on a busy street for the first time and the amount of fine dust from car exhausts is absolutely staggering. Never again.
I think it's mostly not exhaust but the dust from the road top layer and from tires. Electric drive helps little with that.

The author probably intended it to be an hilarious joke, but they assumed you are as well versed in Fox News identity politics as they, sadly, are
You’re right about the first part. I don’t have Fox News so I’m not sure about the second part. I’m not particularly sad about it but thank you for your concern.
This seems like a cool place to secretly camp.
with that proximity to San Francisco, that idea likely has already been oversubscribed
