You meet some odd types sometimes at a community event. One senior strides up and announces he wishes all transit was eliminated because it discriminates, giving the folks riding a bus an unfair advantage to getting jobs versus those with cars because bus riders don't have all the expenses of auto ownership. He stated "they just should live closer to where they work". When I pointed out this often is impossible given the low wages many bus riders get by (folks who work in the Miracle Mile couldn't afford living there) he just blew that off with a comment "they'll get by". Truly a self-centered attitude.Dana Gabbardhttp://socata.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-750357817175490357.post-20337300363049706572012-07-03T14:12:51.295-07:002012-07-03T14:12:51.295-07:00I'm always nervous that any auto maintenance c...I'm always nervous that any auto maintenance costs will break me.
