I completely respect your right to walk, ride, crawl, skip, hop and generally transit in any way that you see fit.
I do not respect someone who bitches about an area that is heavily populated and congested simply because they moved here to NOT drive which implies that it is THEY who feel that they are more important than anyone else.
And if you saw the car I am still paying on, you wouldn't consider it such a luzury. A shit box, yes. A luxury, no. But I made the decision based on my needs without being a condescending asshole to those who don't drive.
I did, however, return a generally snide, snobby, brattish comment with one of my own.
I also drive because my work schedule does not at all coincide with a T schedule that would get me to work in any semblance of time and I do not work in the city.
And for the record, I food shop in Haymarket. I shop for shiny things in the local area and in Boston and Cambridge. I make it a point to purchase things I don't need from local specialty shops just to give them business because I'm tired of seeing places I grew up around closing down. And when I food shop or leave the local area, I drive to Davis or Wellington and take the T.
