Why do you need a car when most of the major campuses (in this area) are within a 10 minute walk of $250/mo housing (excluding roommates)? UB South, Canisius, & BuffState are all within a 10 minute _walk_ of ridiculously cheap housing. You can call it ‘hood’ if you want, but there are alot of extra patrols in place because of it. UB South & North, Buffstate, Canisius, ECC, Medaille, & Daeman are all easily accessible by a whole lot of bus routes. Not too mention that the NFTA allows for unlimited usage in some cases when showing a current student ID. [http://www.nfta.com/metro/Unlimited/canisius.asp](http://www.nfta.com/metro/Unlimited/canisius.asp) If you’re serious enough about wanting to do something, you will find a way to do it. And these are pretty “well-off” scenarios compared to many cases. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/jays-awd-political-crew-why-do-we-cap-ss-tax/43978)._
