Yep, I had the same happen to me shortly after I got my liscense.

Overfunded, extremely bored police department…

… I went back to that shitty, exurb town 20 years after moving out and they are still, still, completely tearing out and then rebuilding the exact same major intersection every 5 years.

In those 20 years, they now have… one bus line.

That goes to the city that this town is an exurb of.

Still no way to actually get around the extremely non dense ‘city’, which consists of basically 2 small commercial areas, almost 10 miles apart, and then tons of houses either out in the boonies or in suburbs… without a car.
