      I moved to a major European city. Seeing people (and now doing it myself) bringing home furniture on the bus or train is great. I don’t own a car anymore. Between a small wheelie cart and larger stuff coming via delivery with the order, we’ve been furnishing our apartment without trouble.

      The percentage of days we needed a big vehicle was always low. Buying and maintaining a car when there’s actual modern public transit is only for extreme edge cases.

      What’s public transit? Will that drive me 50 miles to work at the exact time I need it to?

      I’m salty my country is like this. Fucking stupid

      Not really useful in many places. And for most homes, it’s non existent

      A bike maybe. But you can only carry so much groceries on a bike without it being a very frustrating experience.
