Lots of awful road design here. Zero enforcement of traffic law. Emboldened smooth brained drivers

A cocktail for fuckery.

Great weather for walking around Lowes identifying things for the house that I'll never actually buy.

>Not sure that’s good.

If they can manage to get dedicated rail lines, and get the higher speed engines south of DC, this place is going to be fully absorbed into the NE megalopolis. It's currently a dingleberry.

I don't mind the 3hr ride, but when the train is crawling through certain stretches of it, it feels like you're paying for a shit-tier service.

>What can be done

Contact your elected officials, have others do the same. That's all you can do.

>Any tips?

Build a moat

Is this your first time living in a city?

I also learned this the hard way a few years ago. Since then, I make damn sure I'm going to a corporate location if buying a phone.

edit: not a pro-trump gif

I came here from Austin, which has an out of control homeless problem. They are constantly bulldozing homeless camps around the city, like whack-a-mole.

Some seem to just move on to the next spot, and some filter out into the woods where they are less likely to be seen. The city would implement symbolic solutions to help a tiny number of them, like converting unused storage facilities into temp shelter. Meanwhile, the residents are torn between "we have to help them" and "I don't want to see them everywhere I like going".

We live in a first world country and play with peoples' lives like they're insects. It's class warfare.

As Richmond grows, the homeless population grows too. This happens everywhere, yet cities can't seem to see it coming (one can assume why). There is virtually no realistic strategy to house low income people in this country. They get displaced and then face a tremendous uphill battle to get back to stability. Then we just ignore and look down on them.

No, not particularly. So I just don't go to this place and move the fuck on.

You are acting like Richmond is littered with these. Richmond is still sleepy, gritty, and nonexistent to most of the country. Don't take that for granted.

>what this city is becoming.

What's it becoming?

Sounds like the Martians from Mars Attacks

No

Agreed. It's like people forgot that driving is a responsibility, skill, and privilege. The only way bubble wrapping cars can work is if they're full autonomous. Otherwise this stuff just enables even worse driving habits.

I need to proactively track down some sleds. Can you find these easily here? No matter how old I get, I need to bomb hills after a snow.

No job is worth sacrificing your mental health. I hope you find your groove

This is the way

Oh man, Houston drivers are wild. Distracted, speeding, and the swangers with rims wider than broad street. Can't forget the Texas Edition pickups that look like toddler toys.

Yard work. Lemonade stand. Parks. Sports.

On a tolerance break, so I'm very irritable and my brain is too functional. Need lobotomy.

Nothing is enforced out there, so this is all moot. Fury Road times are upon us... filter away.

Yes. Have had zero issues with it

If I'm on the road early, it's because I'm on a coffee and breakfast mission to Stir Crazy or Smoky Mug. My commute occurs over fiber cabling thereafter. I lead technology for a R.E./hospitality start-up (5 years this month).

My excitement for the week, like usual, will be when the weekend is near. Thankfully it's Halloween on a Monday, which makes this day better. Spending the rest of the week in Nashville for work, with little desire to deal with air travel.
