    Yeah gas is expensive for sure. But who cares when you have all that sweet public transportation and nice walkable cities that are genuinely pleasant to be in. I can see how it would be a much bigger issue if you roads looked like this

      Well I’m from the US so I’m unfortunately familiar with shit infrastructure. Also unfortunately, our public transportation in NL is a total joke (extremely expensive, dwindling , and unreliable) thanks to privatization and conservative politics. We are very lucky to have excellent bike infrastructure, but the weather makes it extremely inconvenient.

        That’s surprising to hear, I’ve been all over NL and have a real high opinion of it (except the weather heh). It’s always kind of comforting though to hear that once you get past the surface there’s issues everywhere.
