I think everyone where I live would much rather walk places. It’s just that “Car is Necessary”. And I live in a walkable town, can walk to grocery store, restaurants, library, hospital (although that’s not the best example I guess), you name it. But unless your job is here you’re driving often. And if you have young kids, you’re probably driving, because they walk so slow.
It’s worse than that.
You don’t generally blame someone for being shot by a random stranger.
But kill a cyclist or pedestrian by car? What did or didn’t they do?!?! 🧐
Its a strange world were somehow we have been conditioned to belive travel on foot or cycling is somewhat “lesser” then travel by car.
Hopefully the notion of “Car is King” dies one day, and we build cities once again for the people living in them.
Where do you live where such a notion is the norm?
