You mean because it’s always the same crowd?

Not necessarily although that is certainly true. I'm talking more about suburbs where the residential and commercial areas are segregated and far apart and you essentially have to drive out of your neighborhood just to do anything outside your house. It's a vastly different experience than being able to just walk a few blocks from where you live to the bagel shop.

Ahh yes I see. Yeah it’s totally better being able to just stumble home than get an uber or god forbid drive drunk like all of Fairfield County (CT).

That's funny cause I used to work with someone who was from Connecticut and would just shit all over the entire state. She said drunk driving was a problem there.
I can't blame her though. I live on Staten Island myself and I never turn down an opportunity to shit talk this place because I hate it so much.

I grew up there too, and while I love it so much, I also talk plenty of shit. Like how every fucking white woman is blonde. (Obviously not every, but it’s a ridiculously common thing for ladies to do there)

Driving 5 minutes to a bagel shop is no different than walking 5 minutes to a bagel shop.
Yes for going out drinking, not having to drive is better but honestly once Ubers are automated and the price drops down to be like taking a $5 or $10 train ride home life in the suburbs will be very different.

There's a world of difference between being able to go somewhere on your own two feet vs. having to take a car to do basically anything.
