      If possible take the trains, if there are no trains take the bus, if there are no busses bike, if no bike than walk, if you cannot walk because the infrastructure is that hostile move to somewhere with trains (like NY or Chicago but ideally NY)

        Seriously though, the amount of money I saved by not owning a car gets me a pretty nice place in a city with transit, it’s not great transit but I can’t afford a larger city like Vancouver. Unfortunately where I live is also notoriously hostile towards pedestrians and cyclists.

          I live in NYC completely car free, I take the subway everywhere and I just can’t imagine my life without a good transportation system. I would genuinely recommend anyone who lives in a hostile area with no transit move.

          Not true at all, homeless people exist whether capitalism does or not, everywhere, all the time.

          Change your position to align with reality as we know it, please and thank you

        The person probably wouldn’t have been homeless if not for capitalism. I also make a habit of not believing third hand stories off the internet.

        Maybe disenfranchised people who are forced to live in the street have something to be angry about in a system that trains the wage slaves to dehumanize the people who don’t fit in the same box so that we have something to fear if we stop contributing to the machine.

        “Don’t be like him, Little Timmy. You need to go to school and be a good little cog in the machine until you get ill or make a mistake and then it will abandon you and villify you for not being a perfect cog for the billionaires to use up like an infinite resource.”
