Having a preference for large suburban homes is fine, but your view of vulnerable people in your community is gross. It sounds like you'd rather insulate yourself from the failures of your local gov't, which is a privilege many people don't have.

>dont have to be screamed at by a crazy homeless person on the train

This was a great reminder of how differently public transport is perceived in different places. Don't recall the last time I've seen someone (much less a homeless person) scream there, maybe once >10 years ago? (for reference, I commute by public transport every day)

He's probably never been on public transport.

Sounds like trains in your area need to have better security and ticket checkers.

Those workers couldn't maintain an urban apartment near transit, so they are all homeless and too busy with their clinic appointments to work.

Sounds like you underpay the people who maintain your critical infrastructure.

"Couldn't maintain" is a weird description of "renting urban apartments as Airbnb's is more profitable for the landlords"
