At $2 for a one way ticket, I think the price is kinda high. It's not like it's a top notch system that goes everywhere in town.

I don't ride it that often, but I usually don't experience many annoying people on it.

Personally, I think if someone is going to live in an apartment with section 8 assistance, they should also be required to do community service to earn their keep

I am totally with you on this. And dare I say we need to start addressing the out of wedlock kids issue? It pretty much destroys most people's chances of attaining a basic middle class standard of living and creates a lot of stress even for those who do.

It's amazing to read some of the comments people post. Everyday people take a lower standard of living due to life events. For those who are not company owners or financially independent which in that I mean if you had to you could live off the interest of your investments understand today you could be fat dumb and happy but God for bid if a serious health issue crops up.

Remember those 'thug" families still have their homes and how many college educated with advanced degrees people lost their homes due to foreclosure or walked away due to becoming underwater? So we can also ask if they were so smart how did people lose their homes?

Today there are no guarantees so who knows one day most any might have to look to another family member for temporary shelter. This is 2012..
