Though, it’s hard to want to give up my car, at least in Boston, when I have experienced horrendous inefficient public transit. And yes yes Timmy, I know you do not experience this. But, I have…and that’s how I’m able to justify still having a car.

I understand the writers point that by imposing higher fees for parking may make further changes more palatable by helping to promote support for mass transit…I do.

I suppose in a way, it’s somewhat similar to how I feel about veganism. For me, it’s an interesting parallel.

But like I quoted from my friend in my Blue Pills post:

“The only time people are okay with anything is when it clicks in their own head. When it affects them directly. When it interrupts their happiness and comfort. When they can justify it to themselves and not someone else justifying it for them.”

Trust me, I will come along. But, my eight years of an hour and a half commute to Boston compared to my less than seven minute commute now speaks to me like Venus from the pages Agents of Atlas.

I feel that there is more to be said that could easily war with how you feel about parking and the people who drive and the people who get away with free parking, but, as much as you want me to respect and agree with your point about this I want you to respect and agree with my feelings towards animal cruelty.

So to enable bygones letting other bygones be bygones, I’ll hold my tongue.

If it helps, this move to the city I’ve made, was to lead to the eventual absence of car ownership in general.

Baby steps…sir. Baby steps…
