If Carlson wants to call attention to inflation or the sorry state of our own public transportation — point taken. I am very concerned about my grocery bill and I wrote about safety on the Bay Area’s BART myself. But he needs to make this point here,
I was there in 1994, just passing though and stayed overnight in the home of an older couple. That was not a long visit, but my overall take was that I had traveled back in time to a 1960's big U.S. city - and not the fancier part.
I got the same impression when I visited Kiev for a week during the same trip. I visited some of the nice museums with a group of locals and they paid ridiculously low ticket prices to enter, but was told that if the museum knew I was not a local, I would have to pay about 20 times as much.
