This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

inexpensive

lol, most bikes nowadays cost $1000. Also stolen every time so you have to call Uber. Also can't get groceries or take the highway.

Also can't get groceries

Americans unironically believe this. Pathetic

There are a few grocery stores in a 30 minute range. But none we could continue to afford long term.

The two which we can afford are an hour away. Including gass costs they are much cheaper long term.

Why i chose to live here? It was the only place we could realistically afford.

I am neither considered poor nor do i own/drive a car. (My partner already did before they met me) for perspective. We also have full jobs and kids. So very little time for small trips.

I blame urban planning and townhall. There is a small discounter who has made repeated requests to expand near our area with repeated refusals because “we already have to many (wealthy class) grocery stores.“
