It must be amazing to live in such an historic and beautiful city. I wish I could come to see it. If it's not too personal, how did you come to live there?

If you think you are hurting my feelings by calling me anti-car, you are very wrong. That's just an inaccurate word that you made up, and it does not describe me at all.

I don't think they're necessarily paid by the auto industry, but some folks get very nasty and defensive when they feel like they're defending their beloved cars. As if cars need defending in this...

You do that and the forum will be abandoned within three months. Most of the people who say they don't like the political threads are the same ones making multiple posts on them.
