(hip, hip, hurrah----better things like that than mile after mile of short stuccoed Carl's Jr, Mcdonald's, walmarts, ranch style houses, shopping ctrs with an Albertson's on one side, a Big lots on the other, & Rite Aid in the middle).

I notice most of the slams directed at the city in comments like these refer to things OTHER than transit. Yea, it's lousy to get stuck on jammed fwys, or to have few options in moving from one part of town to another. But it's even worse if you have to go through alot of scumlands when driving or taking trains, buses, subways or whatever.
