Governments and the polities they govern are like container ships. It takes a long time to change course even after the decision is made. Sadly, in SF, the damage has already been done and it won't be undone by recalling a single DA or merely proposing to fund public safety.

Nice anecdote. Have you heard the one about the tech CTO that got stabbed to death? We have data about this too and it's very much trending in the wrong direction.

If you're tired of arguing with people who are begging you to care about their lives, you can always just remain silent.

This is a simplistic take. European and East Asian democracies build infrastructure far faster and cheaper than the U.S. Often with even more stringent safety regulations and higher standards of quality.

The question we are tasked with answering is: why?

Facebook most certainly changed the world. The result was not good from my perspective. You can justify phrases like "social good" in a lot of different ways. Which is why you should always be skeptical of such claims.

You trotted out the most tired New Yorker meme of all time. "Chicago pizza isn't real pizza, it's pie". Despite the fact that the headline of TFA is clearly about thin crust pizza. How lazy can you be? You absolutely offered an uninformed opinion in the form of a wall of text like you often do on this website. Your attempt to pretend you didn't is pathetic.

The general reputation of New Yorkers in every corner of this country is highly negative. It's well deserved and you're exemplary.

While there are many international institutions in NYC, the citizens are by and large provincial navel-gazers.

You unironically think that NYC invented slicing pizza, and you referred to it as "innovation". We're having a good belly laugh about this one at the bar.

These are all Neopolitan style. I've had Grimaldi's and Lucali and enjoyed them.

I asked about a New York slice, which is a style of pizza that people rave on and on about, and has been cargo-culted across the U.S., but one I've never been particularly impressed with. Especially when compared to Chicago tavern style or deep dish.

Ezra Klein lost his credibility long ago. Sad. Vox is a rag.

Anyone here remember Wonkblog? I often miss the heady days of the early 2010's.

Funny how we thought we were living in tragic times back then after the 2008 financial crisis. And sure, we were. But there was so much more in store for us, wasn't there?

Well put.

That being said, the Chicago version is still better.

NYC pizza is a bad joke. As long as you're only paying $1 it's not that bad for the price. That price point and the places that offered it are going extinct unfortunately. The "slice" is dead.

Imagine having to fold your "pizza" because it's just a nasty mess of sauce and cheese.
