My husband and I were able to go down to one car because ride share is there to fill in the gaps from transit and bike share.

I'd like to know where you plan to find a human driver who always follows the speed limit.

Can you imagine if someone ran for political office in California today, with a sign that said they were originally from New York?

I’m not a real estate speculator or an Airbnb host. I contribute a lot to my neighborhood.

Does it even make sense to talk about “gentrification” in a neighborhood where all the houses burned down?
