    I believe you but to me that just means where you live sucks.

    I’m lucky enough I can choose to only live places with good transit options. Sometimes I forget not everyone has that option and when people are like “but the nearest thing is a 45 minute walk” I’m like “so fucking move!” But of course it’s not that simple.

    But I really would rather people considered the lack of transit options a higher priority. If you lived somewhere without running water you’d probably not put up with it.

      This is like this or worse everywhere in my country. It didn’t plan well for public transport and enjoyed the income from car sale taxes. I’m not willing to take my life to an entire new state with a different language, different culture and everything else that comes with it just to not use a car.

      The lack of running water is not a great example because there is no viable alternative. A car IS a viable alternative, it’s just not a great method of doing so efficiently.
