Nearly all police actions other than traffic citations come from dispatches - someone calling in/reporting a crime. Location of the officer has nothing to do with that, other than potentially shortening response time.
Do you pay property taxes, or live in a building where the owner pays property taxes? Then you're paying for their education already.
Everyone knows about the "US spends more per capita on healthcare and we have crappy service!" concept, but how many know that we spend just about the most per student on education, and have terrible results?
Perhaps the issue isn't the amount of money spent in these areas, but the goals/intent of the Governments who are doing the spending (which is valid for both cases, as Government spending in the US - Federal and State - accounts for about 65% of all healthcare spending). They do not have success as their goal, but rather continuation of their own bureaucratic existence.
Police typically respond to calls, not just cruise around and "spot" crime. The fact they're in a neighborhood cruising already does not increase the likelihood of a call coming in; it may shorten response time, but it does not cause the call in the first place. If anything, it would tend to depress illegal activity in that neighborhood...
Regarding the homicide rate of big cities, Chicago is number 4, with Baltimore, Detroit, and Memphis ahead of it. This is for the rate, not the number of homicides. And when you consider that Chicago has about 1.5 times the number of residents as those other 3 cities combined, there is no question why Chicago is considered the murder capitol of the US. High rate, high population, high number of murders.
Right now, 2% of the world's energy is supplied by renewables; note that in much of the US at least, hydro is NOT considered renewable. So we get 2% of our energy from renewables today - and we're to change that to 50% or more, in just 20 years? yeah - I have a hard time believing that...
Fuel economy per seat shows the 777 and the 787 have better fuel economy than the A380. Even the low-seat density version of the 787. Perhaps it's the way Boeing designs as compared to Airbus that is the reason their aircraft have better fuel economy per passenger than the A380.
The first sale of a 787 was on April 4, 2004. The A350 project started September 14, 2004. Airbus dismissed the concept of a more fuel-efficient, long-range, medium sized aircraft until Boeing started selling them in quantity...
Not to mention that due to the extreme size and weight of the aircraft most airports required rework to even handle them, so only the biggest/busiest airports dropped the millions and millions of dollars to be able to handle them.
Bottom line is that Airbus bet on the A380, and Boeing bet on the 787. Boeing won the bet...
Nail homes exist until the local Government decides its too much of an issue - then they go to court, and the 3 judge panel (which acts as prosecutor, defense attorney, and jury) decides what is to happen. Nail homes often live for a year or two until the outrage dies down - then they are paved away.
US is the second biggest market behind APAC. Note that APAC has around 3.5 billion consumers, and is just barely larger than the 300 million consumers in the US market.
Japan hasn't been relevant in high end audio for a few decades. Outside of Chord and Meridian, there is nothing from Britain. Germany has Burmester, and that's about it High end is YG, Magico, Von Schweikert, D'Augustino, Krell, Ayre, Cary, Manley, and many, many more - and they are US based. Go to a high end audio show like Rock Mountain AudioFest, or AXPONA and check it out...
Wait, what? I mean, all the news sources have to do is hire and pay the staff, cover travel and investigation costs, spend months investigating, write, edit, vet and generate the content, format it, deliver it. Apple has the heavy lifting of putting that news into a supersized RSS feed. CLEARLY they are being generous with the news sources, if anything!
Southwest Airlines out of Burbank, to OAK - round trip for $200. Burbank and Oakland are great airports because they are small - fast TSA, easy to get into/out from, etc. And traffic isn't bad to drive from LA to Burbank especially in the morning because it's a counter-commute.
The Chinese Government owns all the land; there is no private property rights in China, you get - at best - a 75 year revocable lease on your home. And those who protest such "five year plan" keystones tend to end up missing...
No, the plan was to start with the only section they actually knew how to build. There STILL isn't any clue about how to get rail from Bakersfield to Los Angeles. The fail here isn't building in the middle of nowhere, it's starting to build without a plan on how to connect to the largest population center in the US, just 60 miles away...

Actually, you are less likely to be murdered in Chicago than you are in rural America.

Wages are up ~4.4% over most of the last year.
Do you want to pay for their education?

In many jurisdictions in the US, including California, hydro is not considered renewable.
Just let it be..

Technically, ROMANS killed Christ. They crucified him and finished the job with a spear to the ribs.
Given a condo in NYC just sold for $238 million, you can probably buy have the freaking city for the price of a condo in Manhattan...

You're correct. The rise of two-engine, long-range planes such as the 777 has given rise to the so-called "skinny and long" routes
Fixed that for you. The 777 was the first ETOPS-180 plane certified as such at launch.
That carpool from Los Angles to Tokyo, though... Heck of a drive!

By the time Airbus put the A350 project into action, Boeing had sold dozens of 787s... That's not a bet, that's an "oh crap" reaction.
