Schools are overcrowded here, many houses are being built but still not enough to meet demand, house prices are growing by around 8-9% a year, roads are highly congested and people are packed on trains like sardines during rush hour.
A lot of people + persistent under-investment = problems. There was a whole estate of housing built not far from where I live recently and more planned imminently. With any sense they will make provision for public transport, such as a new railway station.
Yeah not good when population growth comes too quickly.
I should add I'm referring to the far flung area of NW NJ. They're essentially in a depression. Anywhere that has a train or easy access to NYC are doing fairly well. Traffic is as horrendous as ever.
-Late to class, took a pop quiz, missed the directions. Then the professor decided to give everyone who took the quiz full credit.
-Went to the main dining hall for lunch and they had a lot of good food. Meatball subs and alfredo pasta.
-At lunch, got a lead on an Accord. Expect that one to be ridden in sometime in September.
-Got to my next class. Turned in first assignment. Looked good.
-Rode in a 2014 Honda Accord driven by someone in the sorority that I marched with in the Homecoming parade last year. That was AWESΦΜE.
-Got home. Had no thigh or armpit chafing despite walking over 12,000 steps today, and the high was 93 F / 34 C with a maximum heat index near 100 F / 38 C.
-My parents were eating Taco Bell. Sent me out to get some melatonin and some Taco Bell for myself. I also got some milk and banana pudding mix (we were low on both).
-Saw a good friend of mine from high school at Wal Mart. We hadn't seen each other in 4 years and caught up. She's visiting my house Saturday.
-Didn't have any homework because I got it all done at school today.
-First class is at 3pm tomorrow so I get to sleep in and still wake up in time to have lunch before class tomorrow.
I went to the ER here and was scared that it was going to cost something ridiculous like 950 dollars or at least 100 but it was just 60! Hillary or Trump, please take note. Before trying to "fix" the Middle East, lets fix our healthcare system and make it as affordable as that of Chile
Yeah, the early 2000s were great. Economy was good, crime was falling, and things seemed more positive. Everything was getting better as opposed to worse. I think the decade from 1997 to 2007 was the best we ever had in the UK. God damn recession ruining everything.
Plus, I was a teenager, and I had the most awesome time listening to awesome trance tracks on my Walkman.

$60 versus the average ER visit in america of $1,233 . My friend flew all the way home to his native country Colombia to have dental work done because its so much cheaper, unbelievable the differences in prices between america and Colombian dental care, thousands of dollars cheaper for the same exact procedure. I can see why so many american are retiring and traveling to parts of latin america, the american medical and pharmaceutical industry is a ripoff

I might do that this summer, fly back to the middle east to get a root canal.
