Yup. I lived most recently in Atlanta, where they're on the right track with new projects (and a Microsoft campus to the west), so I expect it to be a much nicer place to live 20-30 years from now. But I'm 25! I don't have time to wait until retirement to enjoy my life!
Seattle is streets ahead of Atlanta, with some promising light rail expansions planned in the future. Again, on a 10-20 year timeline.
I have grown to despise cars so much that I thought it was time to give Japan a try. If I ever leave Japan, I'd sooner move to Germany or the UK than return to America.
- vecinu 6y agoI know exactly what you mean, I'm in a similar boat. I can't wait for decades to start enjoying the fruition of something I feel should be standard and already exists in many other places. It's so strange to me how much I hate relying on cars now because I grew up in Canada and spent the majority of my time driving around everywhere in a suburb. I used to like driving when I didn't have to do it for every little thing but now I despise it and I better understand my environmental impact of constantly starting that engine up.
