I'm finally done with [Amazon, Facebook, Uber, etc.] that is, until I realize that they are monopolies with no viable alternative in many markets.https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/985564847940108288 …

Yap. Also it's strange how in NYC uber and yellow taxis are real competitors but in virtually every other american city i visited taxis costs twice as much.

In almost every city in the U.S., the expectation is that you will need a car so when people visit they rent one and when they live in one, they own, so traditional taxi demand/population has historically been very low.

We had the unfortunate circumstance of having most of our development occur AFTER the development of the automobile so most of our cities west of Chicago are totally car-centric, less livable, and hideous.

Never really thought about it that way, but makes perfect sense, thanks!

I have been spending a lot of time thinking about this since moving to Dallas. In your picture of the protests in Budapest, I pointed out Costa Coffee and G-star because they were the exceptions, not the rule. Other than those two shops, Budapest is beautiful!

It just dawned on me, maybe that's also the reason why the term "inner city" has totally opposite connotations in Europe and the USA.

Yeah totally flipped. Americans are very confused when we hear about riots in the banlieus (suburbs) of Paris.
