Soviet Union was bad for multiple reasons but in major cities the housing was not really any worse than anywhere else in the world. I guess you just enjoy spending 3 hours a day in your car.
The point was that in total you probably spend more time in your car than any sane average European would, because you lack options. And because you lack options it’s a hellscape for anyone who can’t drive a car. The point wasn’t your commute, because your commute probably doesn’t represent the median. Also good for you. My commute is also irrelevant, but it’s five minutes walk to a train, ten minutes by train and five minutes walk from the train to the office, all that in an environment where I don’t fear for my life, the noise level permits me to whisper to other people without them having difficulties hearing me.

Do you know of any online solutions for creating forms (open-source if possible) that have an API for generating unique links to the same form? @opensource
Dubai is a car dependent hellhole that exploits guest workers slaves. They’ve only got metro because it’s cool to have some and some people aren’t allowed to drive and you sort of have to pretend that you’re giving fair options to people who don’t drive.
