Trust me, any public transport would be great but even in liberal states we’re seeing large fund cuts. The public bus stop 5 min from my house that went straight to the tram that goes downtown is now a 30 min walk that goes to a diff tram station that goes to my regular tram station which goes downtown. 1.5 hours to go 15 miles, I’ll uber. Or in summer months I’ll ride my bike to the close tram.
I can’t wait to move to the city….
Hey, have you heard of Strong Towns? They're an activist group that's largely focused on helping people influence local policy to build better, human-focused cities with more housing, more opportunities, and fewer cars. I'm working with them to try and make my city better, and while I can't say it's easy, I can say it feels like a worthwhile use of my time and efforts.
