I find the bay area TINY compared to the NYC sprawl.
Try reading the story and not just the headline.
"designed for money laundering and tax evasion."

That's reaching. Just because some people use it for that doesn't mean that's what it's designed for.

Those electric bikes are a nightmare. They are so quiet you can't hear them coming. Coupled with how recklessly the delivery guys ride them it's a recipe for disaster. These guys plow through red lights and gun it in the opposite direction on one way streets. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem if these guys didn't ride like assholes.

Sounds like they forgot it's a volatile market where 30% drops are the norm.
