Happy I live on this small island. Free busses! But I can also just kinda walk everywhere anyway. Another good thing is I get to skip the dangers of sidewalks and crosswalks. I just walk on the beach, no cars.

I’ve never been to New York but according to the book “power broker” Robert mosses blocked off a lot of beach access in New York by building roads designed purposefully to make it inconvenient for busses and pedestrians to access… anything nice really.

Did the same to lots of places. The expressway that bears his name in Niagara Falls is a prime example. Just needs to be ripped out.
