It probably beats driving where you are, if what I’ve heard about Boston, and Massachusetts as a whole, is true.

I’ve got to commute into central London, which would take months driving. I assume it’s similar to East Coast cities, which also weren’t really built for cars.

Boston drivers are genuinely sick in their heads but it's not even their fault bc that's how you have to be to get anywhere. I held off as long as I could but eventually I had to start doing it too

It’s a pre-car city, it was designed for horses, as much as it was designed at all. It was built by the same people who built London, which explains a lot.

it's only getting worse as cars get bigger. trying to drive down a street with cars parked on each side that was built for horse drawn carriages is a nightmare

That’s probably the most European statement I’ve heard an American make. That has been a continuous mantra here. The curse of the SUV, though ours are probably still smaller.

The fact is Boston roads were 17th century cow paths; they make perfect sense if you have the mind of a 17th century cow.
