        Last I checked, Paris doesn't go up the side of a mountain.

        I excluded Palo Alto’s open space. (Which is apparently 1/3 of its acreage.)

        How big is the 90 minute public transit commuter zone for London vs San Francisco? This is my attempt to answer the question. Arrival point is central London or downtown SF. So, light areas = you ought to be able to reach central London/downtown SF within 90 minutes. pic.twitter.com/ZSftRqN1bL

        Paris is probably much lower per-capita, driven mostly by HVAC and transit efficiency.

        Yet amazingly, the smugness of Palo Alto exceeds 400% that of Paris.
