nightlife

San Fransisco has a more more diverse set of options for nightlife and culture compared to downtown Santa Monica.

There is such an intense expectation for group social activity in nightlife that makes it very hard to go solo.

Most of the action is a bit further out, and you'll find a more lively nightlife somewhere like Williamsburg (I imagine Cap Hill in Seattle is similar).

But at night when I hear the crickets and other nightlife, I mourn the lack of silence in my head.

I don't do night-life, and I know a number of other people that don't really do the club/nightlife thing either.

Lower East Side/Chelsea had way more lively nightlife to me than Williamsburg.

Then once you have this data you could rank cities as the best for historical sites, romances, nightlife, food, etc.

Ban cars from certain streets to encourage local commerce and nightlife.

I talked about the alcohol and nightlife industries as a criticism of your statements.

Are you really going to criticize Uber when there is a multibillion dollar alcohol and nightlife industry advertising, giving away free samples, and over serving people?

Most of the time people just toy with the world's current trends, like the gritty downtown Los Angeles nightlife of Blade Runner or the self-parody of the 1980s in The Fifth Element.

There's no way to make assertions about the effects of Uber on alcohol consumption because any effect Uber might have is negligible comparison with the effects of the alcohol and nightlife industries.

Some low income areas in there don't look very visible at this scale, but also "where everyone is out on streets" (work in daytime, nightlife at night).

Never been there, but Panama looks good: cheap cost of living, fast internet, sizeable "knowledge worker" expat community (from cursory googling), good nightlife, etc.
