If not, there's a different word for what you're doing.<br /><br />@Crystal: Yep, public services cost $$. But outside of NYC, cities tend to allocate a disproportionate amount to building yet another highway lane--a strategy we know for sure doesn't work--instead of toward solutions that might reduce congestion. I hear ya on the subway breaking down, though--that's the worst. A week before I went to NYC last summer, there was a 2-hour breakdown on matinee day at the theatres. Lots of held curtains and some folks (performers and audience) still missed their shows. I was praying that wouldn't happen when I was in town. (It didn't.)<br /><br />@Joy: Yes. Or basically anywhere else. <br /><br />@Phil: That's fantastic.<br /><br />@JE: I'm hoping. That would be great.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-63708007189048365252016-10-19T16:24:06.591-04:002016-10-19T16:24:06.591-04:00It's a shame about the lack of busing.

It's a possibility at least.J E Oneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780097298061829471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-56159391841558362612016-10-19T13:07:05.422-04:002016-10-19T13:07:05.422-04:00https://www.sidewalklabs.comhttps://www.sidewalklabs.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716796158683464226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-55499745256874341832016-10-19T08:10:40.837-04:002016-10-19T08:10:40.837-04:00I have always bemoaned the fact that I MUST own a ...I have always bemoaned the fact that I MUST own a car. I'd much rather it be like it is in England where I don't really need to drive.

(Taxes--whew!) It might be better to own a car. And let's not forget when public transit fails. There were times when people got stuck on the subway train for upwards of 3 hours while they tried to get it repaired. Once, for 8 hours in a heatwave! Still, it would be nice to walk the 1/2 mile to a subway stop and head straight in to any local attraction.
