Re: La Petite Baleen: 34 mins vs 1 hour 11 mins for me.
My son's swim school is 20 mins away by car, or 60 mins by public transport.
I take your point that these are first world problems.
But my point is that not having access to a car in San Francisco is a significant inconvenience and it's incorrect to say 'you can live well' without that access. You might not be so inconvenienced that you would say "we don't live well", but there's a 'meh' zone in between the two.
- renewiltord 1y agoI wouldn't say it's "meh" that you can take your kids to swim school only on weekends. LPB is 23 vs 39 for me but I do drive. Either way I wouldn't think it "meh". But I suppose standards of living in the US are by default so far ahead of other places that these are considered the minimum to not be "meh" here.

The 39 minute journey time doesn't include: - the time between now and the journey start time - delays So you would need to budget an hour each way, i.e. a total of 2.5 hours for a 30 minute swim lesson. Imagine doing that for every single thing you need to do.
- renewiltord 1y agoNormally I'd agree with you, but I can pick my swim lesson time and I don't have to worry about headway timing because I know when to leave and the train is timed. For untimed services, certainly I'd believe it. These are complaints of generality that don't have relevance in the specific case.
