[lbo-talk] A 'Progressive Conference' & car ownership

[Chris Doss]

This may be what I miss most about NYC, not being car dependent. Not 
owning 
a car is next to impossible in so many parts of the country. It's 
really 
disheartening to see people spend money keeping a beat-up unsafe car 
running because there is no viable alternative for them. With a decent 
alternative they could spend those funds elsewhere. I know many would 
not 
but many would like the option.

Amen. I haven't driven a car in almost a decade. One mega-bonus of being where I am is that you can get anywhere in Moscow from anywhere else in about 40 minutes. (This seems to be some kind of physical constant that is not dependent on actual distance between points A and B.)

 
It's also practically free. Hell, 80% of the time they don't ask you to pay on the bus.
