I’m downtown with two kids right now. I put $20 on their T passes and showed them how to get to downtown crossing on the orange line. I know they’re not likely to use that knowledge on their own right now, but they seem dazzled by the ability to get themselves to Primark without an adult driving a car.

This is exactly what I wanted, living in the city: kids who take agency for granted. But it’s also more than a little bit scary, you know?
