Great point, especially the part about budget. I would love to see a follow-up after 8 weeks.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.

That is a surprisingly elegant way to frame it. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me. Public transit stories are secretly sociology stories.

The lesson angle is what sold me. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. I love details that only make sense once you've been there.

The best answer in the thread, honestly.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 6 months. The chaotic constraint is probably the real story.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. I noticed the same thing in Warsaw.
