You joke but there’s shedloads of people looking for exactly that who buy Caymans with zero clue what they’re in for. I follow a few reptile YouTubers and they can all rant for hours about this.

Also don’t buy iguanas either. You’re getting a grumpy 5’ dinosaur that needs a room sized climate controlled enclosure to be healthy.

My parents got a Jack Russel Terrier they rescued from a kill shelter after someone gave him as a puppy to their 7 year old daughter as a birthday present and apparently he didn't like being a stuffed animal and was "extremely aggressive".

That awesome dog almost had to die because he had to defend himself from the abusive offspring of some really shitty people. Instead he lived to 14 going for walks in the woods every day with my dad who like with me, is full of love but has no tolerance for bullshit, and that dog knew it.

- My point about the tile store was that vast swathes of the road are hardware places and the cycle lanes will remain a deathtrap to those unwilling to negotiate around semi-truck making a delivery. London tried throwing in some half-assed bike lanes (into its otherwise decent scheme) and those ones are super dangerous because they fool casual users into thinking that they're safe when they're far from.

- Trolleys? I would put them in the middle like Girard, leaving delivery space for all the commercial vehicles that by necessity need to park close to the curb. I would do a loop around a block at Broad St and have them turn onto Columbus, doing a loop around near Ikea. It would encourage a shit-ton of riverfront development and at that point any large projects being built south of Oregon would require the developer to chip into extending the line as a precondition to rezoning
