Nearest grocery store to me is an hour walk across two highways with no sidewalks and blind turns with embankments that force you to walk in the street.
Lots of highschool kids walk it everyday, and only one or two die every year though, so it’s not that bad.
I went from living in a city with a robust sidewalk system to the sticks where there’s no sidewalks anywhere except main street and by the school
It fucking succcccckkkkkkssss
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 really don’t want to leave the US for good
struggling to wrap my head around this point of view
I watched this whole video and it never answered the question. :flattened-bernie:
Walking is work. We work to much already and we subconsciously know it. Every moment outside of work must be luxury. (meirl)
