Read this article— some rare blunt honesty about choosing all the suburban “advantages,”including the fact that it’s heavily subsidized by the rest of us, and then complaining about the amount of traffic in your commute into the city. It may sound snarky, but it’s also true. “You know what the suburbs aren’t, though? Close to downtown.”

"A life spent in traffic is not worth living."

@BrentToderian when I tell people at work that I bike in every day, the response is often "I wish I could do that"

Housing isn't so bad here, but I normally bite my tongue rather than retort "you could, but you chose not to buy living 30+ min away by car"
