    "Millions" for 35-70 people?  Go figure.

    The people throwing money at the homeless problem must be the same running the San Francisco money-pit as well.
    That’s only $28-$57k per person to be relocated into housing. 

    I just googled and a pretty “rough” 879 sq ft 1 bedroom in San Jose is renting for $1900 a month.

    Have really enjoyed my new Series 6, only gripe apart from the shite battery life (come on Apple, if the Fitbit Sense can do 3-4 days on a single charge why the hell can't the Apple Watch with its custom SoC) my only annoyance is with regards to Siri and how useless it is when it comes to Apple Music.

    I went for a jog today and asked it to play music that I like, the response was "I don't see an app for that. You'll need to download one." What the actual hell is all that about?!?!?!? Here's an idea you useless peice of shite, how about you use the in-built music app and my Apple Music subscription!

    Asked for 90's dance music, same response, music by Metallica, same response, finally when I asked it to play a specific single song it did it straight away.

    If this bull crap is standard on the Apple Watch I'll be returning it, anyone else had this crap from it?

    The sense gets pretty mediocre reviews regarding usability and processor speed, and with GPS enabled is only rated for "up to 12 hours" battery life.  You also have to pay $10 a month to access some of the features although they say the will "eventually" make it free.  As for Siri accessing your music, it works fine for me and I have a series 4.
