I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.

    Your whole environment is designed that way because cars need so much space. If you lived in a walkable European city all of that wouldn’t be a problem.

      Mind giving an example of such a city? Not like I’d be able to move now, but one never knows.

        Just watch the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes. He not only shows you examples of such cities, but goes into great detail explaining why their design works—and what flaws they have.

        Not European, but most Japanese and Korean cities are very walkable. With trains or busses, it can occasionally be easier to get around than by car

      Well living in the US is my reality, and there’s two cities in my state that have walkable areas, and if you want to live in the somewhat safer portions that are walkable in either of those cities it’s going to cost you literally twice as much to live there as anywhere else in the state.
