dhaka

Being from Bangladesh I'm not worried (what's happening in Baltimore happens in Dhaka every other month).

I employ a JS developer in Dhaka as a contractor who's hourly rate is $22.00 USD.

Things have not been all that bad for us in Dhaka -- we actually deliver a lot faster on hartal days.

The sums involved dwarf anything that's happening in Dhaka or Moscow.

I've never been to Sweden, but I'm familiar with Bangladesh, where Dhaka (10% of the national population), is the center of political life.

But many Bangladeshis found that sentence too lenient, and more than 100,000 of them gathered in Shahbag Square in the capital city of Dhaka to challenge it.

Not that I'm saying SF should aspire to Dhaka standards of housing, but there's way more to it than just population density, or lack thereof.

To give you an example, we live in a pretty well off part of the city in dhaka, a family of 6 with 2 maids and 2 drivers (thats how the local culture works).

"Most homes and businesses in the slums of Dhaka have no power and no windows, so 80-90% of them hook up to electricity lines illegally - and fall back on candles or kerosene lamps during regular blackouts."

It is a lot cheaper than starting a departmental store in Dhaka, and you get far more efficiency per sq.

Gonna remember that the next time I wind up in Manila or Milton Keynes or Chernobyl or Dhaka..

Certainly not Dhaka, where I spent a portion of my childhood, or for that matter anywhere I've.
