There’s a growing divide within Gen Z between those with stable jobs or financial support who can afford to buy a home in today’s expensive market, and those who are priced out — not just of homeownership, but also the rental market, said Susan Wachter, a professor of real estate at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

I'd suggest playing around with different route profiles for your commute on https://bikerouter.de/ (based on Brouter), like "Safest" or "Minimal Traffic", I've had success with finding calmer routes using this tool. Can make your commute much more relaxing too!

Love it. Been wanting to build something like this eventually.

Ever hear of this project/have any thoughts on it? https://vhelio.org/

Yes, just haven't seen any good used ones near me and not sure which one to buy! I'm a big fan of trailers for hauling stuff in town too.

Been having a blast living car-free with my Jones SWB, embracing the low-tire-pressure lifestyle. Also, hello lemmy / fedi bikers!
