Vancouver, BC. We visited about 15 years ago. The water, mountains, city and forest altogether just blew us away. The city was so clean compared to Seattle which we visited on the same trip.
It’s the other way around now. I found Seattle cleaner than Vancouver when I recently visited. And Seattle doesn’t have anywhere like the East Hastings area of Vancouver.
....whut? And they also voted Trump in, and may do it again. Useful to Russians and misinformation? Get a grip, a laughable segment of Americans are idiots. It is what it is.
Same for Europe. AfD leading in Germany. National Front leading in France. Meloni won in Italy. Right-wing in power through most of Eastern Europe. Far-right ascendant in Netherlands and Scandinavia. It is what it is.
It looks like March 2023 showed an abnormally high median price, so the March 2024 decline is just due to base effect fallacy (a decline only because the base is an outlier).
If doing Setas de Sevilla, book online or come early. I had to wait 2 hours in the area since all of their timeslots were sold out for sunset and they only had 8pm available.
I think if you arrest more criminals your crime rate is expected to go down, no? Sounds pretty logical to me. That’s why I don’t get that “despite” part in the headline. Not despite, but thanks to.
It's based on some basic statistical analysis. You can find the average household size is about 2.5, current housing starts on an annual basis is trending at about 1.4 million. That means our current rate of building sustains about a population growth of 3.5 million a year, but that's what our population has grown in 2 years, so we're building at about double the rate necessary to keep up with population growth.
The Census estimates are considered to be way lower than actual growth since they don't factor in the undocumented population growth. The Congressional Budget Office (the legislative branch's analytical arm) projected growth of 3.3 million last year:
If you like Greece, go to Türkiye 🇹🇷. No offense to Greece, but Ephesus alone is awe inspiring and you have so many Roman ruins in that country where you get up close and personal
Panama doesn’t want to be the next Panama. They’ve revised their entire tourism strategy to focus on high-wealth tourists and ecotourism. If they wanted to follow the Costa Rica/Mexico model, they’d build a dozen megaresorts in the San Blas Islands.
It’s very easy to accidentally end up there. I walked from Gastown Steam Clock to the Sun Yat Sen Garden (both major tourist sights) and was left scarred by what I saw. Had no clue East Hastings was so close to the tourist core.
If you’re smart, you can get a job anywhere. The only truly elitist places left are investment banking and legal firms. Even in tech and medicine, a ton of the talent pipeline is now public state universities.
Nah, the biggest predictor of having a good tech job is still having upper middle class parents especially ones who were in STEM. Its just hidden behind faux meritocratic curtains like SAT or leetcode scores.
All I see is a ton of beachfront parking and empty lots. If this is what passes for urbanism these days, no thanks…
It has to be a really excellent museum, but this is what I usually do for a full day:
So helpful, thank you for the great tips!

Trying to decide between Washington and BC for vacation but haven’t been in ten years. Did Vancouver seem dirty or just not as clean as Seattle?
I’d say neither is clean (but that’s based on my Washington DC standards).

Have you been to Georgia? They are morons. I don’t want to say the whole state is full of morons, but I mean, they elected her so…..
The state of Georgia voted Biden, so this post makes no sense. She only represents 1/16th of the state.

Very thorough! The only omission I saw was the Gold Coast, a sub-neighborhood of Greenwich Village isn’t mentioned:
Americans fat!! Upvotes to the left!
Illinois, not Chicago.
Cook County lost 24,000 people last year according to the Census:
That’s less than half a percent
The nation is growing by 3.3 million people per year. For a county to be shrinking with such a huge influx is quite an indictment.
TIL: Americans finish work at 6 not 5 wow thanks.
It depends on the job. The standard is 9am-5pm, but if you have a 1 hour lunch, it’s 6pm (or 5:30pm with a 30 minute lunch).
Oh wow! I don’t think it’s legal here, to not to count your breaks within your working hours, white collar or not.
In the UK, workers are entitled to a minimum of a 20 minute break, which the employer doesn’t have to pay for:

If I could buy 3 homes in the U.S., they'd be Honolulu, New York, and San Antonio.
It's not the US, but if you have passports I'd add Calgary/Banff and Vancouver/Whistler to the list.
I’d only do Calgary if during the Stampede. Otherwise, I don’t think Calgary really scratches the “city itch”

€40 to enter is steep though. That’s €160 for a family of four. I can’t think of another ruin anywhere close to that price.
Same way in Panama. Always on the cusp of becoming the next Costa Rica.
Panama doesn’t want to be the next Panama. They’ve revised their entire tourism strategy to focus on high-wealth tourists and ecotourism. If they wanted to follow the Costa Rica/Mexico model, they’d build a dozen megaresorts in the San Blas Islands.
And it’s not even 2%. It’s 1.3% of hourly workers, which are about 1/2 of all workers (the rest are salaried).
Which tourists are visiting Hastings?

Jesus Christ. I went in 2015 and paid 30 Turkish lira for Topkapi (or ~$12 then). Talk about deflation and a fleecing.
The new prices are truly absurd. $47 for any museum is nuts.
I live in Washington DC. I get pissed off anytime I’m paying more than $5 for a museum (every big one here is free and there’s 25+ of them).
I live in Prince William County and it’s very diverse and safe and has a large Muslim population (mostly Arabs and Pakistanis).
US more meritocratic xD

Obviously, but that’s the case in every country. Even in China and Europe, those with wealthy parents have more access.
