California isn't all that regulated as far as guns. Anyone without a criminal record can buy a rifle, shotgun, revolver, or pistol. Licenses to carry are heavily regulated in some counties, but are basically "shall issue" in others. A license issued by one county is good for the entire state.
The housing market isn't "in trouble", it's returning to normalcy. Deflating prices are the SOLUTION to the bubble that had been reinflated from 2010 to early 2018. The market needs to find a happy medium between a crash and a bubble, and it might oscillate a few time (underdamped system) to get there.
Or just raise interest rates to pull the rug from under over-inflated markets that are being misused as investment casinos. That and tax vacant property at 1000% of the rate if it's lived in or rented.
Mod parent up -- we made a hell of a mess in Central and South America by supporting Fascists. Who do you think funded the Dirty Wars in South America. Remember Arbenz in Guatemala?
My home extends to my walls -- a country is just a plot of land cursed with a (generally bad) government. I don't see a country as my home, just a political unit that I happen to be unfortunate enough to live under.
LOL, right, then kids should be walking or cycling to school. If it's planned to be environmentally sound, ample space for pedestrians and cyclists should be designed in.
US is pretty strict (overly so in some ways) on auto safety. Though in the end, US safety regulations are more DIFFERENT, rather than better than EU rules. They're kept different for protectionist reasons.
I want regular 'ol analog gauges for the important things and buttons that can be used with gloves on for the HVAC. No touch-screen crap everywhere polluting my interior.
Imagine owning a car. One fine morning, you wake up and the steering wheel has been moved from left to right, and the brake pedal is on the ceiling. You call up the manufacturer, ask "why'd you do that."
Answer: "it's better, you'll get used to be new driver experience."
Greenhouse gases cause long-term harm to Earth. The pollutants that cause more immediate deaths are things like nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and particulate matter.
You can remove the three pollutants above and still emit CO2 and methane, which causes long-term harm to climate which will harm humans in other ways.
It's a labor-intensive, dirty way of extracting energy from Mother Earth. It wasn't killed by regulations, either. It was killed by labor costs, and the final death knell was cheap natural gas from fracking.
Also, many coal jobs were utterly shitty. Imagine being the poor schmoe who drove a steam engine or shoveled coal into the boiler. Sounds romantic? Now imagine standing in a cab when it's 100F outside and 120F in the cab. Turn some valves while watching for signals and danger ahead, or shovel enough coal per minute to power a freight train in these conditions...
Intersections without traffic lights (or something like them) are unlikely in places that are actually livable, not car-based US suburban hellscapes. Pedestrians and cyclists still need the ability to cross roads.
Bullshit. Homes are already connected to electricity -- running a thin fiber cable is trivial by comparison. What's killing this country is over-spending on military, overly aggressive law enforcement, and mass incarceration.
If they can bring electricity and water to homes on Fire Island, they can bring fiber. This isn't an engineering issue, this is a Verizon-being-fuckheads issue.
Fortunately, the NY Attorney General cock-slapped Verizon into rebuilding Fire Island's copper network as fiber after Sandy hit. I doubt that Florida (mostly Repub) authorities will be as proactive, though.

No. At the end of the day, it's just a plot of land (can be nice land) lorded over by a government. Proud cynic here.
That's what Chinese-based VoIP providers are for... thank G-d for our broken system of Caller ID... :D

IDK if you're being sarcastic, but the European cars in the US are built to US rules, and are somewhat different than their local-market models.

There was still a driver sitting up front in the project.

Define "safer." Kids getting exercise and being able to be kids is healthier than being in a rolling sensory deprivation cage.

0. Introduce random UX changes that no one needs or wants because oooooh! shinyyy!

Yes: humans won't be driving everywhere, so pedestrians will still need to cross streets and walk on sidewalks.
In cities that are actually livable, humans will be allowed to cycle or walk, so cars will still be interacting with human "drivers."
World's overpopulated anyway, though :)

Or just move to a developing country that's 50 years behind the times. By the time it goes self-driving, you'll be dead anyway.
