I only saw boats in Venice.
LOL. Yes, I suppose they'll need to also use both ?Boats, as well as ?People for the areas that only allow foot traffic.
Can we PLEASE get Washington, DC and surrounding metro area?
Question: how can something as flyover be rolled out?
Amazing what man can build to avoid invading hoardes.
Definitely an interesting history.
I'd bet her footage had to be thrown out because of all the times she was stopped by men.
That was at the beginning but yes.
A city like Venice would be impossible to build nowadays, there are literally several palaces in every street, and hundreds of churches with frescos made by the top Renaissance painters. It's a jewel. So precious that most people don't even realize when they're there. Everything is carved, painted and built with extreme care.
I really hate these shortsighted comments that imply that such tasks are mutually exclusive, as if the people working on Flyover are the same one that would be coding for public transportation.

I wonder if Homeland Security pushes against that? Details of D.C. building rooftops have long been censored....
Maybe Apple can fly over and film DC if the Republicans stop funding Homeland Security as they are threatening to do?
I live in the BR and I've yet to see one of those vehicles here. However, the city has been a testing bed for the AppleCare college program and has the state's only Apple Store.
If I remember correctly they're building some type of dam to restrict the influx of water.
Running Yosemite 10.10.2 here.

I really hate these shortsighted comments that imply the author is saying the tasks are mutually exclusive, as if there is an infinite resource of people that can work on Flyover and code for public transportation separately.
