I work in Baltimore and life just outside the city line.

I love leaving the city at the end of the day and going home.

I hate going to the city to go to work there.

Because of the city? Traffic? Your job? Just enjoy being home more? 😁

I drive for a living somewhat. Uber/Lyft etc.

The city is not what it was say 6 years back when I started. I find myself making pickups and dropoffs with my head on a swivel.

I used to enjoy it a lot, but now have to be more cautious than ever.

I used to go to work to 'get out of the house' ......

Now it seems like I can't wait to get back home.

I have actually cut my driving hours back quite a bit.

I used to drive as well, and I've heard that from a variety of drivers. That sucks. 😔

yeah and if you follow the news ....

the trouble is spreading, but at least it looks like they are trying to take action in Towson to nip it in the bud.

I am pretty much driving in a new area a county or two away. If a ride takes me into the city, I take it but go offline on the way so I won't get calls where I don't want them.

I am fortunate and do not really have to do this as I am retired military.

The problem is I enjoy driving too much.

I understand that.

Driving was one of the more enjoyable gigs I've done so far.

I hope things clear up soon so things are better.
