Also a late 80s baby from the burbs:<p>* Cars are a shackle.  I&#x27;ve seriously considered moving to within walking distance of the local train station, since I commute via train; even the slightly more expensive apartment would be greatly offset by the reduced need to fuel and maintain the car.<p>* One person&#x27;s expression of identity is another&#x27;s nuisance.  I lived on a street where people with loud exhausts would accelerate so they maximize the noise.  It&#x27;d be a loud distraction, cause traffic problems, and wake people up at night.  Buses had less of a noise impact.<p>* Rapidly accelerating through traffic can be dangerous if other drivers aren&#x27;t aware of you.  Doubly so if you&#x27;re weaving through traffic.
