it is not at all unreasonable to expect government to provide whatever infrastructure is necessary to handle the needs of the people

No, you just leave the shite there, going so far as to uproot your entire life just to avoid the shite, and just live and work all on the same side of the shite so nobody has to clean it up.
Do you by chance work for the government?
You get it!! I just needed to vent. Thanks!!

Don’t you know, everyone is supposed to keep a residence within walking distance of every location he might work in. And if a married couple work in different areas, they also need separate residences. And you probably oughta go ahead and have a residence next to each school your kids go to. It’s all so simple, everyone can do it.

It’s a possibility for everyone.
Also, I don't think you understand how many people work in plants, and that those people probably don't want to live within walking distance of those plants.

I now think I would love to hear xiv's eco system. Where does he work? His wife? Kids? Etc....... How does he make this work?

Either live next to the plant or just get a different job

Exactly, and that's usually not even possible.

This explains nothing to me. Literally nothing.

Toss in the fact that Sherwood is single laned right now and the entire city is nothing but gridlock.

I guess he moves a lot and changes jobs a lot. Posted on 3/27/19 at 1:10 am to Korkstand

No kids yet, but xivette knows everything there is to know about the schools around here (I myself substitute taught a bit in my early 20’s before I moved away), and you can make the system work for you if you want to, and doing so will be far less time consuming than driving to work from a different parish every morning.
This is America. You can get what you want if you’re willing to do what it takes.

The mere thought of driving in BR makes me agitated and it’s been over 10 years since I’ve lived there. Traffic was horrific then and sounds like it’s worse than ever. When traveling across the state to Nola I often just take 90. It’s sad but I’d rather detour all the way down through Morgan City than deal with BR shite.

They aren’t trying to solve the problem. It’s the same old scam. The new mayor or new governor gets elected and pays a survey company (owned by a close friend) millions of dollars to conduct a study about Baton Rouge traffic. The study takes 4 years, the governor/mayor leaves office, a new official is elected and the cycle continues.

Have you answered the question of do you have kids? Or, you know, ANY responsibilities outside of going to work and taking care of yourself?
