Seriously contemplating and talking through quitting my job without something else lined up, which I've never done before. This place is sucking whatever remaining life and mental stability I had left out of me.
Nobody talks about how "parking" used to cost quarters. Now it's $8/hour, requires an app, won't take cash, and charges you a $2 "convenience fee" to pay digitally. You're paying a tech tax to leave your car in a painted rectangle. Public space has been monetized into oblivion.
