They are reasons. One-way streets are only one aspect of it. It is perfectly normal and quite common to make life decisions, such as where you live, based on several conditions.

Weird or not, they contribute to the reasons I do not want to live in a city.

I am not talking with emotion. I have no emotion invested in this.

My driving is just fine. I just don’t like them. I have my reasons.

Well, it was only one item in a short list (an incomplete one), so I don’t know why it is getting to you. I didn’t even put them in any particular order. It just contributes to why I would not live in a city if I could help it.

Still, too many one-ways for my liking. Plus, the amount of people and traffic... just no. It is a nightmare.

I live by some in my own little city/town. I also lived by them before they were one-way. I much prefer the old way.

They sure feel that way to me. I am sure some Dallas native would say I am wrong, but whatever.

True, but that is a less common usage.

I did not say they were adults, I said they should be tried as if they were.

That sounds about right from what I recall... it was several years ago, now, so my memory is a little shaky. I did not like that job because it wasn’t what I was hired for, nor was it even mentioned during the interview... I was replacing the only tech guy at the company and it was not mentioned at all until my…

Good enough for me.

“Fit of rage”? I don’t recall ever saying anything like that.

Petty to you, important to me.

I didn’t really notice much when I was doing the camera work, but now that I think back... there really weren’t that many non-white people in those schools...

Well, when I moved to where I am now, it was less than half the current population, which was nice. It is growing pretty fast these days, though, and I can’t say I care for that. Not at all.

A pretty quick look at Google Maps shows a fair amount just in the center area of Dallas alone. Too many for me, I stay out of Dallas as much as I possibly can.

Yeah, it pretty much does apply to most if not all of them. I am just not one of those city-living people. I like space and some privacy. And as little traffic as possible.

DISD is one I haven’t messed with. I helped install and configured the camera systems for all of Plano ISD and some other schools, so I am more familiar with those.

It has a lot more than 7. My dislike of that city stems from before google maps was so common. The layout is just one I really don’t like. Granted, that isn’t unique to Dallas (I feel the same about all large cities).
