"And people wonder why there is such a rush to move to the country."
Actually that's easy to understand. It's when said people try to make the country like the city they just left, that's what really confuses me.
You got that right, we have neighbors who moved in from the city, I about laughed my @ss off when the woman asked my wife "What's a drainfield?"
One would think the transit agency, which gets most of its income not from riders but rather from taxpayers, would want to boost the number of riders so as to look good to the gullible politicians that butter its bread.
But not here. No, they want to make it more difficult to ride their overpriced subway and threaten to throw anyone in jail who makes it any easier. (It didn't say in the article, but what do you want to bet the other party to the illegal trade in tokens was an out-of-town visitor?)
Stupidity rules in Atlanta.
I know what you're talking about..I live on 2.5 acres out in ball ground and it was really nice out here..completely dark, quiet, nothin but animals..then new neighbors moved in because they loved the country..within 30 days, they put up a gaslight because it was dark out when his wife went to work..it stays on from dusk to dawn..so yes, they move to the country for the atmosphere, then immediately start to make it exactly what they moved away from..
Yes, that has happened here in the Sierras in CA. The people have moved up from the bay area and other cities and complain about the terrible life in the cities and then they try to force the same rules and BS life style on the people living here! Then they pass laws to limit home building so no one else can move in here and ruin it for them(after they have already ruined it for us long time residents) Arnold's new convservancy BS is part of this type of thinking.
