My fellow Americans. Get off your asses and vote. In every election. Even in red areas. If we all get off our asses, we will generally win. Run for local office if you are able. Contact local officials and get them to take measures.

    In general, it’s not car dependent

    I envy that. If you haven’t been to the US, outside of a small handful of cities, car ownership might as well be mandatory. Old small towns are walkable/bikeable, but you still need a car because they almost never have rail or bus connections.

    I live about 2km from a grocery store. The only way to get there is a road with 80-90kph car traffic with no continuous sidewalk or shoulder. Based on life circumstances at the time, this location was the best choice at the time to minimize driving.
