Amazing people, amazing environment, amazing opportunity to contribute to the world. I am fortunate enough to be able to live close to work, and I usually bike otherwise, so traffic is only a problem if there's an emergency. So I'm lucky, I guess, it really is my paradise. I'm not upset by homeless people when I see them, I am upset by the choices of some selfish wealthy people.

Homelessness and traffic are policy choices that we've made because the last generation, the one in power that refuses to see the errors of their philosophy and refuses to budge an inch, consciously made the decision that after a population boom, they wanted to keep people out. Which results in the long commutes, which causes even more traffic.



Still sounds horrible, not sure what I should say. Traffic rarely is a issue where I live, most people prefer public transport anyway, because it works. We do have homeless, but WAY less and they are getting help. They are not upsetting me (?) I am just glad none of my neighbors has to suffer, this is something I deem important. I know all people here are able life an amazing life. People are amazing too (we are one of the most happy countries after all), it's cleaner than nearly everywhere else and food quality is higher than prolly anywhere. Yet I don't consider it paradise
