Wow, this sounds amazing. I'm so envious of the public transit. Car culture is the worst. And walking alone at night as a woman? Never met her.

Yeah we've never had access to public transportation anywhere near this good. Even when I visited DC recently and got around on their system I felt Lisbon's was better.

And it has taken some work to re-program my brain from "be careful of those guys hanging out on the sidewalk smoking weed!" to "Cool. There's guys hanging out on the sidewalk smoking weed." I'm getting there.

The fact that Amy is feeling so comfortable helps. And she's feeling comfortable in part because everyone she talks to feels comfortable.

It's a virtuous circle of comfort? Maybe?
