The San Francisco Chronicle has a chess puzzle that I'm able to solve. This is why I buy the Chronicle when I live in Berkeley. Today's edition also has several relevant urban pieces.
1. The Cost of Municipal Services in San Fran --- The "rules of the game" are changing so that municipal unions can no longer threaten to strike in order to get a better deal.
2. The Culture Clash --- between young, rich techies and "old school" San Francisco residents --- Exhibit #1 and Exhibit #2.
Either today or tomorrow, I will travel to San Fran to conduct a field experiment to test whether Chinese restaurants raise their prices when I walk in the door.
