Why is it equal?

Google employee confronts execs over diversity: Many of us feel 'unsafe'
http://money.cnn.com/2018/06/06/technology/alphabet-shareholder-meeting/index.html

IT companies which have headquarters in California are supposed to hire many Asian people. So, I've thought it's rare case in those companies to see ethnical discrimination.
But, it doesn't seem to be true.
As the article says, harassment seems to have happened in Google. It's one of the problems we have to deal with.
On the other hand, I'm skeptical about the restriction that at least one woman must be included in exectives or something like that.

For example, if there is no woman in a company who fulfills requirement to be exectives, we have no choice but to get her promoted under such regulation. It's a kind of counter-discrimination.
What we need is not giving them positions but giving them opportunities to grow as majority does.

Why do they use cars in mega cities?

Single 150 sq foot Hong Kong parking space sells for $760,000
https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/hong-kong-parking-space-intl/index.html

It's often the case with densed cities that vehicle is the most rip-off transportation mode. Hong Kong would be the most extreme example.
It would be difficult to find out parking lots in urbanized area.

On the other hand, in Japan, it's not so difficult as Hong Kong to find parking lots in downtown.
But, tax and insurance on each car are so expensive that it usually costs 400USD to maintain one car.
So, less and less young people own cars.
