@japan_nobunaga The universities provide public transit passes to students and staff. My daughter works for Carnegie Mellon and takes advantage of the many buses that run. She also uses an e-cargo bike to assist with groceries and other errands. The transit and bike lanes are very good.
@TheHistoryOfTh2 I guess my 1980's school district was largely Anti-Communist. I read in school: Watership Down, Manchurian Candidate, Brave New World, 1984 (eighth grade), Animal Farm (eighth grade).
