Here's a real fact. Taste is an opinion and cannot be a fact.
And to say it is undrinkable is definitely far from the truth.

When I was in Israel (a pretty long time) barely any Israelis would drink unfiltered tap.
I can hardly say that about NY tap water.

I don't know where exactly in Rechavia you hung out but that's most definitely not true.

You must have hung around a weird species of Israeli.  They are apparently all extinct by now.

I don't know who you were hanging around with, but my experience is that whenever an Israeli sees a water filter they say
אבל אתה נוטל המינרלים הטובים

Haven't heard that, but definitely outside US there's a preference for mineral water, while the American palate seems to prefer water without much minerals.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Unintended consequences of the real estate boom/bubble, loss of parking garages (and gas stations). Hopefully by the time Brooklyn is down to 3 gas stations we will have self-driving ride share working, or else we will be paying $10 a gallon.

How surprising that Trump voters could see past gender while Hillary voters couldn't.
Not at all.
I had a feeling that would be what you would take out of it. I took out of it that once the "teams" are stripped on the issues themselves many "liberals" are really somewhat conservative.

Th edifference is that what I am describing could have happened without swapping the genders. The result would be the same no matter which gender argued each side as long as they didn't have a D or R after their fictional names.
