TIL that Los Angeles is expanding a program paying people not to drive. If you agree to keep you car parked at home for 5 weeks and explore other ways to get around, you can earn up to $600 (thesource.metro.net)

Oooh, $120/wk (max) to rely on public transit in LA —and not get fired, mugged, lost, etc.? Who thought this up, the local oligarchs? 🖕🏼

    As someone who commutes with public transit and doesn’t even own a car, I haven’t had any of that happen to me in the ~14 years I’ve been here 🤷‍♂️ I guess if you count being briefly turned around I’ve been ‘lost’ (how much more lost can you get with a GPS in your pocket?). I’m not an intimidating dude by any means, although I’m sure women have a different experience.
