*ding ding ding*. I’m right there with you. $2.90 either way on the bus or train, & all the time that includes. Cascading costs everywhere. And what are the other options: only making friends in your borough/ keeping any community you create exclusively to your neighborhood within walking distance? I don’t know if that’s the right answer.

The cascading costs especially I think come for single people -- if I don't wash the dishes, they're not getting washed, no one else is going to vacuum unless I pay someone for it -- and it's SUCH a barrier to me getting more involved with things. Sorry, I can't come to your meetup, I scheduled laundry for that night 😂

I don't want creating only neighborhood-centric community to be the answer, though I would also love it to be easier to find hyper-local communities to get involved with that don't involve spending a lot of money or having kids/dogs.
