    Even if you drive a small car being forced to pay about 15% of your total income just to get to work is still fucking expensive. And no, public transport or bike isnt a suitable option for everyone.

      So we need to build infrastructure for it. And more electric cars charged with greener fuel sources.

        @Emerald

        There’s only so much you can do with infrastructure to make up for the fact that most people want (for multiple good reasons) to live in suburbs.

        IMHO we also need to clamp down HARD on landlords/HOAs. A big part of the reason I don’t want to live in an apartment/condo is that there’s a long list of rules I have to strictly obey. No political signs, no letting my cats outside, no string lights outside of Christmas season… Ridiculous.

          I’m sorry, but the tagged name at the end is hilarious with the context of your comment. It’s cracking me up.

          Oh the horrors of an HOA wanting to preserve wildlife from the destruction of irresponsible pet owners. Theirs plenty of reasons to hate on HOAs and I wouldn’t live under one unless I didn’t have any other options but that’s a stupid reason.
