AOC is mobbed like a celeb when in public and has received death threats online, yet you fault her for no longer taking the subway? Regarding realistic trade-offs: I live in Seattle in a 1200 sq ft townhome. I commute 20-25 mins on public transit (where I read or otherwise zone out). For what I pay in rent, I could move to the suburbs and get a 2000 sq ft house. But that comes with a stressful 60 min commute in traffic and $15 a day for parking.
