I’m a bit concerned.
The city folk have alternate transportation means available to them. i.e. trains, buses, subways, etc. Even bicycles for short hops.
The folks who live in the country ARE SCREWED. We have to travel dozens of miles to live. Country folk are a minority and when it comes down to votes, country folk lose.
So I expect the solution to involve city folk and leave country residents bankrupt.
A good case for individual counties getting equal representation in one house of the state legislature. But Reynolds v. Sims would have to be overturned first.
You are so right. It's 15 minutes to the nearest grocery store from where I live; 20 to walmart.
I'd take the bus if it were available. Heck, my kids would be in heaven. (...35 minutes to the mall or the movie theater... 45 to the swimming pool...)
