A good summary by someone who just looked up the law and has no experience with it in practice or how the regs have been updated. It's very easy to get a card, "serious" is not an objective standard and the doctors that specialize in medical cannabis trust your representation that cannabis will help your qualifying condition. It's difficult to not get a recommendation if you want one. The regs have also been updated to allow dry leaf or plant form, look at the menu of your local dispensary. PA medical marijuana is rec with a pay wall.

> Suburban police even pursue reckless ATV drivers because they have the time and resources to do so.

No they don't. Did you even read the article you shared? They issued a warrant days later because of the video of a possible attempted car jacking. Cops don't chase the ATVs anywhere that's densely populated because it would be more dangerous for everyone, not a lack of resources. FWIW I noticed a lot less in the City this year, maybe it was high gas prices and destroying all the confiscated ones.

I don't really build my life around the highly unlikely possibility of random violent crime but my only experience with 911 in the last couple years was calling for a neighbor's stolen package and they picked up and sent someone right away.

> Bonus of the suburbs is that I get trash picked up twice a week on time,

This is specific to your town, most suburbs also do only once a week. I haven't had any issues with the trash for like a year now when other municipalities were dealing with labor shortages too.

You know people have raised kids successfully in the City for generations, right? I very rarely have to use my car for kid related things, definitely don't rely on it. And there's something to be said about the sense of community and daily interactions in good neighborhoods in the City you don't get in the burbs. We've also been very happy with a small backyard and bigger park a block away. People have different values.

Long gun private seller exemption in action:

>It was revealed late Thursday that the gunman purchased the rifle from a private seller, according to a news release from St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.

>The suspect attempted to buy a firearm from a licensed dealer in St. Charles, Missouri, on October 8, but an FBI background check "successfully blocked this sale," according to police.

>"As a result, the suspect sought out and bought the rifle used in the school shooting from a private seller, who legally purchased the weapon from a federally licensed dealer in December 2020," the release read. "There is no existing law which would have prevented the private sale between the original purchaser and the suspect in this case."
