Well, it was a pretty pointless thread in car-free anyway. As it was, it evolved into discussing alternatives for those who dislike heat, and one of those options is to move to a more temperate climate. And further, one of those options is to move to another country, or at least spend the summer (or winter) there. But to do that, you also have to have some freedom of movement. Evidently, some don't have as much as they like because of their disdain for the law.
Anyway, there are whiners in this world, and there are doers.
Where do you stand on that one?
