      "30 minutes in a car" and "30 minutes on the train/light-rail/subway" are deceptive statements in that it seems like the same amount of time but they're actually non-comparable measures.

      in the sense that you can get something done on the train, or that you can be delayed at random? feel like traffic can play the same role with a car.

      Get something done and it's just way less taxing. I really hate driving and I'm bitter about the fact you can't really live where I'm living without one so I'm going to have to do that thing.

      Economists call this a “revealed preference”.

      You *say* you loathe cars and yet you have one, so clearly by your behavior you support more public spending on roads and less on trains even if you think you don’t.

      In this case, no. I'm living here because my wife got her dream job so the actual revealed preference is "I'd like her to be able to have that" and so constricted my options tend to be 2 hours by bad public transportation or 35 minutes by car. And I still prob won't buy one ;)

          Barton Springs, Austin, TX. Someday I have to write an article about how Barton Springs is a positive model for the Anthropocene. It’s not only a wonderful place, it’s an important one.

          I'm still reading Interplanetary Transmissions. I'm loving it in how grand it is, challenge-wise. I miss that type of thinking. Do you have any recommendations in that vein? pic.twitter.com/1kNGgc2ATy
