I would read the hell out of an essay on it.

There was/is a broad brush junk fee bill. That’s why California customers now see “all in” prices for concert tickets, hotel stays, flights, and so on.

SF restaurants flipped out right before it went into effect and demanded an industry specific carve out. Senator Wiener acceded to their demand.

He’s losing the political and intellectual argument over urban land use regulation and taking it badly.

The LGBT community supports the Honda Fit.

A prediction: Berlin is going to be a shell of its current self in 20 years unless the city government starts dealing with their housing shortage RIGHT NOW.

It's all Gender.
