So what you’re saying is I should live in a giant mega RV

this is made more tragic by the fact that the new electrified caltrain absolutely slaps

one of these places has a land shortage with average rents for a 1bd hovering around 3k/month

Versus a random station I found scrolling google maps:

well maybe future companies should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and buy a government too
