    Yeah, in a major metropolitan area.

    Trains are cool! There’s like two train tracks that go through town and they only carry freight. There are no passenger trains anywhere around here.

    We also have buses. They don’t come within 5 miles of me. Also a non-starter.

    I guess it’s cool to hate cars if you live with your parents, but for those of us with bills to pay, we gotta go get that bread. But uh, have fun with your online gaming or whatever. It’s just not sustainable for most of us.

      You don’t have good public transit because you and your neighbors have chosen not to vote for it. Maybe that will change when gas is $7 a gallon.

        The old bait-n-switch with a side of victim blaming. Gotta love it when they pull the rug out from under you and look down at ya like you were never gonna get ahead.

        How’s the view from that ivory tower?

      I graduated in '21, moved in with my gf at the same time, started working (to afford rent and surviving, you know) and bought a house last year. But go off I guess. I have bills to pay and hate cars as the sole method of transportation at the same time, it’s amazing! Even have my driver’s license since I was 18 (9 years already, how time flies). Crazy concept.

      I’ll go have fun with reading a good book now. Cheerio!
