Today was horrid. I live on the edge of a suburb next to the metropolis. It took me 15 minutes to get to the metropolis when I could literally walk there in less time. I had to turn around because of construction, then ran into 5 more construction zones on the main route which just had a major project which took two years to complete. Was even late for work because of the extra time to get through construction.

I assure you, if you lived/worked in the city you would NOT want to take public transportation.

Or the downed power lines that kill the Trolleys. Or when a freaking tree falls over during a storm, blocks the tracks and delays your commute for 2+ hours (been there, done that) And the people?!?! OH EM GEE How about the smelly alcoholics? ****ed up drug abusers, annoying loud mouth teens, stank ass homeless people trying to bum change off ya? Even the gang activity. I once had a group of black people try to jack me as i was getting off the trolley. Some bitch reached into my pockets as i was walking down the isle, i told the bitch, "WTF, you doing??" Next thing you know ima bout to get jumped. I had a friend get robbed for his shoes on the trolley. Yeah..... **** public transportation. I'd much rather drive in my car than to deal with all that shit again.

I lived in Chicago for nearly 10 years, sometimes in some pretty ****ed up neighborhoods, and I never had a problem on the L. And taking the Metra (suburban commuter train) is much better than Chicago public transportation. Didn't realize San Diego was so ghetto. ![]() |

But it's totally worth it to get a bigger house in the suburbs/exurbs, guys!!

If you have a family yes. I drive 70 miles a day round trip, but I'd rather do than live in the city so that so my kids can live in a nice neighborhood with nice schools.

I read about a guy who commuted from the Quad Cities (Iowa/Illinois border on the Mississippi) to Chicago every day. With traffic, that's at least 3 hours each way, assuming nothing goes wrong, and an approximate 250 mile round trip, a good third of that hard stop-and-go traffic. IIRC the stupid **** had to leave the house at 5:00 a.m. and didn't get home until after 8:00 p.m. Every. Single. Day. Unimaginable.

If you live near a big city you usually have to move pretty far out if you don't want your kids going to some crime infested dump of a school.
