I’ll never understand for the life of me why people enthusiastically WANT ugly-ass car infrastructure when you can simply walk.
I really don’t want to leave the US for good, but I know when I graduate college I’d like to live for at least one year abroad in Scotland or Sweden where such infrastructure isn’t scoffed at as impossible.
buys $30,000 car that can drive really, really fast
Can never go faster than 35 mph because they never leave the suburbs
Car culture is a festering hole
My wife just moved up to Canada to live with me. She’s from the greater Phoenix area where describing cars as “ubiquitous” would not do it justice as I’m sure you know.
We now live in a very quaint ocean-side community and everything is within five minute walking distance. School, grocery store, dentist, liquor store, everything. She hasn’t touched a steering wheel since she moved here and has never been happier. The only exception is if we need to go downtown it’s about a 20-30 min walk but totally doable.
good luck affording to leave. I’m just gonna go teach the Taiwanese english once I get my degree and stay there
I don’t have any Chinese friends, I have people in Taiwan and I like using the US internet
Also, I like smoking weed and it’s waaaaaay easier to get in Taiwan than China
I really don’t want to leave the US for good
struggling to wrap my head around this point of view
