I used to drive to Toronto every day, usually down University Ave, but sometimes down Bay St. I can tell you for free that traffic got much worse on University as a result of those bike lanes.
The destinations argument doesn't really work, since you can easily bike on the road for a short distance to get to where you're going, or have a short walk.
Fair enough! It's north to me, but not truly north, I do realize that. I don't want to go much further than there, though, so that I can still easily come down to visit family back home.
I know the cost is higher, but we have a budget of just under $1 million in cash, so we should be okay.
I'd just like access to a peaceful quiet forest and a cozy home. I'm a simple girl~ uwu
Yes and yes. I have a budget of around $1 million in cash, but I've been told it can be done in some areas for more like $800,000.
Fair enough! I have no real sense of the northern 90% of my own country, I'm embarrassed to say. XD
Would you mind elaborating on your remark about them being a bit more conservative? I realize that rural places tend to be more conservative by default, but I'm wondering whether that means center-right mind-your-own-business conservatives, or the kind that are a bit more... upfront.
Full disclosure, I'm trans and so is my wife, so it is indeed something we have to keep in mind.
It's in biotech, but I'd rather not get more specific than that. My exact subfield only has a handful of people working in the space.
I'm an Ontarian driver. I hate speed traps, and I will purposely go out of my way to avoid them, or otherwise figure out exactly where the device is so that I can slow down for it.
I'm sorry, but for all the folks that want us to drive 40 everywhere in "community safety zones"... you're living in dreamland. We all have places to be.
Have barriers and well-designed crossings. Fast cars can't hurt pedestrians if they aren't on the road to begin with.
