Still not directly comparable, especially using arbitrary city boundaries
It would be hard to do but the most apt comparison is between all of the swiss lowlands in the north vs an equivalent size area of germany

Oh yeah, like of the 9 that turned into actual interviews, 7 of them were from networking really.

Fight against this if you can. That's what has happened to all UK services and outside London our public transport is fairly awful now, which leads to more cars on the roads and all the problems that brings with it.

Because the recruiter talks we're usually just a pre screen of 15-30 minutes, not something I really needed to prep for. Engineering interviews feel completely different to me.
I don't know, I could've convinced them to your point, I guess I just didn't take the "not a good fit" personally because it was just based on a non-technical person's opinion of my skills based solely on a short conversation. But yeah, you're right probably should've combined them haha

An article appeared in the FT before his dismissal reporting "rumors" that the chairman was the only intelligent and competent person in the company, and that the CEO especially had no formal education in finance (which wasn't true). I think everybody saw this as a move by the chairman to create public pressure on the CEO and to play office politics. So the bank got rid of him.

Arriva isn't British. They've bought out our local bus services as well.

Does this include both bus and rail?

Recruiters are scoping, not hiring.

North-western Scotland is weird, and I say that living there. We have some good rail routes, but there are limits. The existing lines usually use two carriages and aren't super frequent (and take a while, 5.5hrs from Glasgow to Mallaig on the West Highland line) and outside the height of summer its often very empty. Wonderful life line, but there are limits given our low population density spread amongst the mountains (plus there's a lot of public transport here that aren't trains, like the ferries that connect the islands and peninsula communities). It's odd. Probably could do with a line from Fort William to Inverness, but that's the only real demand left. Most of the people live on the east coast, which is served by Edinburgh-Dundee-Aberdeen-Inverness line, so it really just needs a line for people on the west coast to easily access the capital of the Highlands.
The Borders are also pretty sparse, again due to mountains and population, but you can see the Central Belt of Scotland and the major cities of Northern England have quite a lot of rail.

Yeah, topography plays a big part, though tbf part of that is also it tends to decrease population density. So chicken and egg in a way.

Comparing the density of public transport networds between different countries when they're NOT presented at the same scale isn't possible. In this map Switzerland and Germany are presented as being the same size, and with Switzerland having a lots less dense network.
But reality is that Germany is on the order of 9 times the area, so the density of the German network is only 1/9th of what it appears here, relative to Switzerland.

This survey doesn't account for homelessness, though. OP mentioned in another comment that only people with addresses were surveyed.

Homeless people make up a negligible share of those in poverty though. The big difference is that California has a huge poor migrant hispanic population and a high cost of living

Wtf is that logic. Your idea of an economy is that businesses always need to raise the prices by (e+x)% if an employee get's a e% raise? Then how can anyone buy anything in 50+ years?

20% of everything you say is 1% away from 90% of all the bullshit you think is true because I can make up 15% of stats that sound good. Verisimilitude is your best friend

And there is a fuller picture (more countries and a look at past data) available in this OECD paper.
It’s the second graph in the paper.
