Characteristics

Transportation

The car is very often the preferred approach to move around in this town. It is very convenient to find a place to park. However, the public transit network in this town is quite bad. Nonetheless, residents have access to a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most houses. It is challenging for pedestrians to get around in this town because few common errands can be run without needing to resort to a vehicle. The bike is a fairly poor method of transportation in this area since the topography is not particularly flat, and Clay is home to rather limited bicycling infrastructure.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not very plentiful in Clay, and consequently tend to be a long trip away. At the elementary level, there are both public and private schools. When it comes to food, in most cases, a car is required to purchase groceries in one of around 30 stores. A limited number of restaurants and coffee shops can be found as well.

Character
