so how the hell am i supposed to get anywhere in this suburban hell hole im stuck in then? the government itself created this damn infrastructure and now we’re all just stuck here.
Catch-22, don’t build Suburbia (aka don’t live in and pay for it) AND drive less. On a positive note, using public transit and sharing space has the opposite effect.
Once again, many governments refuse to build anything except suburbia. This isn’t just a simple matter of personal choice. City planning, roads, transit, density, and taxation all need to be addressed to build our cities better again.
And it took a century of constantly expanding population to build it out this way. We don’t have a century to fix it, nor do we have a quickly expanding population to drive it. We have to somehow fix things in place
There is nowhere for hours around where my partner goes to school that is even remotely walkable in a livable sense. I couldve chosen to live “downtown” but its a downtown meant to enternain the burbies, i would still have to drive to the grocery store, etc. i cannot just move until he graduates.
