My sister was living in a studio apartment in SF that cost almost double what it was costing me to rent a 3 bed/2.5 bath house in Vegas (and I was a fair bit under my O-3 without dependent BAH).

So yeah I can totally believe that.

How in the true name of gord can prices get that high?

Was looking at investment property in Antioch last weekend, 3800sq foot house new construction 540k, rentable at about 2800-3400. And that area is not even connected to BART yet. The same size house in the area I am in, in the East Bay would be about 1.2m+

From the Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/11329976/Paris-Charlie-Hebdo-attack-live.html):

"The attackers reportedly escaped in a black Citreon DS, wounding a policemen, then knocking over and wounding "several" pedestrians. They moved towards the 19th arrondissment before requisitioning another vehicle and leaving central Paris via the Porte de Pantin metro station."

It looks like they might have gotten away?

I think just one bystander said RPG, and now sources are running with it. Might be one of those facts that disappears in an hour or two

Holy poo poo. Most mass shooters are radicalized losers who kill themselves when the cops show up.

These guys waited for the first cop car on scene who probably only had pistols, engaged and executed at least one cop and successfully escaped.

There's a reason that they call first responders "Blue Canaries". You start seeing dead cops, firefighters, and EMS you can be sure that you're getting close to the epicenter of an attack.

Only when you have a police force that isn't going to show up with anything real, like your basic frogger. Then you can plan on escaping.

My money for that is actually on the Netherlands. Has any public figure in that country expressed any anger, as opposed to just being sad, that Russians blew up a plane full of their people? If I were a citizen, I'd be pretty, uhhhh, steamed.

You are overlooking the difference between this attack and an Adam Lanza / Columbine / suicide by cop type shooting.

Most of these whack jobs operate solo and kill themselves when confronted, make no effort to hide their identities, have no plan for escape, and are only effective against unarmed targets.

These guys came with a plan of engagement and escape, hid their identities, pushed the assault onto responding officers and stopped to collect discarded items that could be used as evidence.

Most of these mass murders end not because of outside action but because the murderer chooses to stop either through suicide or surrender.

These guys, like the Fort Hood shooter did not stop, and went even beyond Ft Hood- they broke contact and escaped with weapons intact.

This is a fundamentally different type of attack.

His segment starts at about 10:37. I understand about 85% of spoken french and it's loving heartbreaking.

At 16:00 he finds out Charb and Cabu are dead. It's hard to watch. I loving teared up IRL.

Reaction so far has been pretty damned weak here. The investigation is still ongoing so maybe when they officially come to the conclusion it's the fault of the Russians we'll see a meaningful response but I'm not hopeful.

Personally I wish we did everything in our power to gently caress them back, economy be damned. But the defining characteristic of the Netherlands is that we care about getting rich through trade over anything else and we have quite a lot of trade with Russia (think Royal Dutch Shell).

There's also that the handwringing "it's all our own fault" brigade is lot more prominent in European circles.
