    Yes it is. It always is. There may be a premium, but there’s a cost to car ownership and usage as well, but also more importantly there’s taxes we all pay to keep rural or suburban life possible. Suburbs actually take more on taxes than they produce. The problem is that cost is socialized, which is fine if more costs were socialized.

      No it just fucking isn’t. You really think every place of work magically has dozens of free apartments close to it and you can just hop to a different one every time you change jobs? What fucking fantasy land do you live in?

      There are many things we can change to fix this.
