Certainly not true in Italy - as a person who eats gluten free, it was an order of magnitude easier to find alternative options in many cities in Italy than it is in San Francisco.

I’ll add one piece here - it’s not just the big tech co’s and their employees that matter here. Tons of little companies are looking to big tech and will follow their lead on remote policies - wherever they go.

I for one would pay much more for an antique original home than any “flipped” style renovation.

This article has so many omitted words that it’s hard to follow, even if the content is decent. I’m left wondering - did the author ever actually read what they wrote, or did they just press send and hope for the best.

It seems obvious to me that even the meToo moments that lived in gray areas were still the result of failed romantic connections or overt sexual
comments or actions. No one is being fired or lambasted in the court of public opinion for being in the same private room and having adult conversations about work with a woman. This is not a nuanced issue - treat women professionally and like equals, don’t talk about politics or sex in the office and you’re golden. To make this more complicated than that let’s men off the hook and excuses unprofessional behavior in the workplace.

Also arguable if not a bit pedantic: is it really DIY if you have tens of thousands of dollars worth of machine shop tools to help you do the work? It’s more just fabrication at that point.

FWIW the >25year old rule is not true in California. Things are much more complicated here.
