Germany, France, Netherlands, Canada are mixed markets trending from freedom to socialism. To the extent that they abandon freedom, they lose their well-being.
The big problem with these kind of rich a**holes is that don't want to contribute to society but they want society to help them.
They are creating their own society, and they'll be paying a great deal of money for the physical plant. That does not qualify as not contributing.
Personally I am praying for a pirate attack on this island or something else.
This is precisely the sort of hateful bullying to be expected from a government apologist. "They won't give me their production! They won't follow my orders. KILL! KILL! KILL! "
Over the last hundred years, additional life expectancy at age 40 in the US has increased from about 29 years to about 40. That means from living 4 years beyond 65 to 15 years beyond 65, increasing the burden on social security by a factor of 3 to 4. (OK, that's not exactly what the figures mean, but it does dramatically affect Social Security.)
Woman's suffrage has had many other bad results. Voting starts about the same time women leave their parents, and they tend to vote in a manner that gives them a government to replace daddy (especially if they're not married). In any close election where dependence on the welfare state or general irresponsibility is at issue, women provide the margin to the side of personal weakness.
My recollection is that wrinkles are caused by partially damaged cells that can't be removed by normal repair and waste removal processes. One way to approach the problem is the enzyme bromelain, which breaks up some proteins, allowing/forcing repair to take place. Ever notice the corner of your mouth getting sore after eating raw pineapple? That's bromelain in action.
People need food to live. Food, in the form of plants, needs water and sunshine. Oregon and Washington have lots of water and not so much sun. California has lots of sun but less water. Shipping sunshine to Oregon and Washington is not practical. Can you figure out the rest?
The problem is more serious now than it used to be, because bogus ecological claims have caused water previously sent from the Columbia River to flow into the ocean.
In this case, the problem is racism, conservatism...
Grow up. The accusation of racism is 50 years old, and the implication that conservatives don't think is even older. The current situation has no winners, and using insults and apocalyptic predictions does not improve the situation.
There aren't a lot of tall buildings in Los Angeles - a few dozen downtown, some along the Wilshire corridor. Beyond that, there are big hotels in some critical spots and not much else. If you limit new construction to 3 stories all that will happen is that 3-story businesses replace residential neighborhoods, and residential neighborhoods will move into the mountains and farmlands to the northwest, east, and south. Problems will be slightly worse than without the restriction.

Think of Hong Kong before the Chinese takeover. A superproductive entity without natural resources, in no sense isolated from the world at large.
What part of "libertarian" do you not understand?
Why of course! Only government has anything to do with sanitation!
Official? A life-expectancy table has to be government-sanctioned in order to be true?

BMWs are for youngish frustrated wannabes. They take out their frustrations in arrogant, aggressive driving. Hence the porcupine comparison.
You're almost a century late. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Water_Wars
The highest expression of the Democrat party is the rapist wallowing in the human excrement of "Occupy Wall Street".
Most years, L.A. rainfall starts in December and is done by May. More than half the year is entirely without rain, which is inconvenient at best.

Draining off the top half meter of Lake Superior will do the job.
As long as there are cowards, there will be people selling insurance.
It is Cuban policies that make Cuba a failed state, not American policies.

You are assuming that everyone who lives 30 miles away from his job lives in the same place. 'Taint so.

From 1890 to 1990 Los Angeles grew by about 6500%, and since then has grown by about 13%. This is not the sort of thing that is easy to plan for.
IIRC, sidewalks on the north side of Sunset Boulevard, just north of UCLA, are absent.
The three second rule would cut rush hour capacity on the 405 by half or worse. It simply could not work.
People like me who don't want to scrape dead children off the pavement when a hotrodder does 70mph in a 20mph zone.
