    My city doesn’t have them most places either. Its kind of okay though, because we have massive block zoning, and nobody is walking 8km in 38C weather for a kebab.

    Sucks if you’re poor though. My partner literally pays more for their car than everything else combined, because they are disabled and cannot work. The car is like $700 and their rent + groceries is $600.

        No, they live in an old houseboat parked on some guy’s back patio. My rent and utilities on a 1br is $1100 in the same part of town, and average here is probably $1300 to $1700, depending on neighborhood.
