France already has multiple unmanned subway lines that manage to do okay. My bet is cameras and a non-trivial chance of vandals getting stopped at the next station would be sufficient protection against this.
I really like this idea as a way to expand access to startup opportunities.
Have any acceleartors/incubators experimented with offering child care?
I imagine that economies of scale could make that more economical than having X% of each investment go to child care with no coordination, even if it was just a group-rate contract with a local child care center.
Sanders proposed a prize system for pharmaceuticals. It's an interesting alternative to patents for rewarding innovation in that space particularly, which is entirely patent dependent.
As a former Orlandoan, I would pull Orlando from that list based on public transit.
Transit in Central Florida is basically non-functional, and not likely to change anytime soon. The region is entirely car-centric, and there is a strong cultural bias against public infrastructure of any kind.
You can surely look up a map with lots of bus lines drawn across the Orlando core (Lynx), but the service is so remarkably horrific, I never met anyone who used Lynx in the 21 years I lived in the region.
Likewise for SF, their estimate is $1250/month, which will rent you a garage or a converted living room with a curtain separating it from the kitchen in the far reaches of the city.
As a grad student, this is about my budget for housing, and I promise you I'm not exaggerating.

You found a garage for $1250? Link? Is there an open house soon?

Jeez, this is a ridiculous estimate. I have a 2BR on the edge of downtown that has big bedrooms with bay windows, a solarium, a nice big kitchen with granite counters, quite a bit of living space, and the only downside is an old building.
Me and my flatmate each pay around $1300, BUT that's after 6 years of rent control. The last time I checked, market rent on this place was almost double what we pay. The idea that this is a normal price for anywhere else in SF is kind of silly.
