so simple. if only everyone could live within a few miles of their workplace and all their other responsibilities.
oh wait, they can't, unless they can afford crazy high rents of urban centers.
Yeah if only I could bike 35 miles each way every day to work.
If your shitbag local government isn't developing mass transit, that's your fault. Start making some elected officials miserable until they start funding a real transit network.
But don't pretend like your choice to shit on the only habitable planet we have for the minor convenience of having a stupid little zoom-zoom cage isn't just that: a choice.
my shitbag local government has the best mass transit in the country by many metrics.
still, it doesn't go to rural areas or anywhere that isn't a wealthy suburb full of white people.
but yeah, i'll get write on that. ii'll just donate a few trillion to my local government so they can build electrify trains through all 351 towns and cities in my state.
Stop living in massive cities then if they are so expensive. Always lived in towns rather then cities, can get anywhere by bike in not much time at all.
Oh no wages are a little lower. So is rent and tax. Plus much better access to green spaces generally - though I now live on the coast so green spaces are mostly replaced by blue ones. Decent green spaces are like 20 minutes away by bike rather than 5 now.
most small towns in america have no jobs that pay a living wage.
that's why people drive 3-4 hrs a day to a city. so they can afford to live.
glad you live in your little bubble, did you inherent your home from your parents too, like every other lazy townie? not everyone gets hand outs like that in life. they have to pay their own way and their inherent little to nothing.
people live where this is economic opportunity, because they need it to survive. many folks jobs don't exist in rural areas.
and nobody in small town america rides bikes.
sounds like you are talking about europe.
Yes, I am talking about Europe. Why so aggressive about assuming I inherited anything? I haven't.
you realize there is a whole other 6 continenets, 5 of which aren't europe where many people live? that has massively large distances between population centers.
or not, i guess.
I could say the same thing about America.
I don't know take a bus/train then ¯_(ツ)_/¯
those things don't exist outside of urban centers.
i own a car because I like getting out of the city and to the countryside. also not possible by bicycle or public transit.
This is 15' from a bus stop. What more could you want?
Shelter?
Like this? (1' from previous photo location)
(Also this could actually be fun to GuoGuess)
