@salarua it helps a lot not being in a traffic where you swear in all the time twice a day FWIW

Hard to explain how nice a walkable city is. I live in one. I'm 15 minutes away from so many good things.

I used to live in a small town where it was a stretch of strip malls and meth heads. I don't understand why people want that.

Meth is pretty popular, but I don't understand why it requires cars.
