    Just move to Europe. /s

    But seriously, it’s crazy to think that people can’t afford to go out because of transportation costs. When I was in my 20 I would just walk to the city center or take a tram, drink $1 beers and go back home in a bus. Now I take $2 train. It’s so sad that Americans built their shitty system on purpose.

      No you can totally still do these kinds of things in cities in the US. You just have to sacrifice other things like space, car, etc and a lot of people that grew up in suburbs aren’t willing to do that.
