I started to reply to this, and it became another post, so keep that in mind when you read it...
You're right about the shitty busses and bad biking. The prevailing notion here is that bicyclists who get hit were asking for it (and it happens a LOT). And they're getting ready to cut the bus services again... also, can't take the dog on it. We're already doing more walking... this is definitely a more pedestrian-oriented area than the one we were housesitting in, with a really nice park and pool about a block away.
There will be lemonade. But right now, the pile of lemons is looking pretty overwhelming, and I'm indulging my whiny self for a bit before digging in the drawer for the big-girl panties.
