Nobody buys new cars though.

Doesn't his England sound lovely?

It not just a different country, it's a different world!

A world where everyone wears monocles, and those monocles are constantly popping off into cups of tea.

Josq is right. Cities designed around driving suck.

I'd only agree if I could be carried around by slaves.

It's just not the same with minimum wage workers or illegal immigrants doing the job, is it?

For me the walking around in a city is fun, until the winds whipping around the tall building freeze me to death. Or in summer, the heat from the city fries me. Then I want to get in my Challenger and run every body down.

Or the city scum start getting close. Ewww. Poors.  :yuk:

Yes, this part he is right about. And that parking lots are frequently ugly and a waste of space.

To be serious about it.............at the individual level I like the cheap homes available in NA, with their large lots and so on; I would love to live in the house that the value of my property in England would buy me in Kansas, SC or somesuch.

But, there are consequences to that sprawl. I liked Ank's place in SC (especially given the price, peanuts by UK standards); but you had to get into the car to go anywhere, the burger bar was 5 miles away, the pub was 4 miles away. Meanwhile, here at home, I have dozens of bars shops etc all within walking distance.............I prefer it that way, it must be about a fortnight since I used any form of transport apart from walking..........at a communal level cheap detached houses lead to people living in characterless dormitories.

It has been 5 minutes since I got out of a cab and only about 5 hours since I used the subway. :blush:

Might have a five day weekend for Chuseok this year. If I do I'm going to go to Japan.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
