    When I was first committing to my no automobile lifestyle, one of the first things that struck me was the pavement. Fucking everywhere.

    Next time your about town , take a mental picture. Then subtract the parking lots. The huge road. Put the buildings closer together. Make a nice bikelane, something just wide enough to get a fire engine down. Plant some trees. Pretty nice right?

    Instead we have salted earth. It really is just rude to the earth. Fuck your car!

      All I want is the infrastructure to be more convenient. I cant walk anywhere unless I want to spend an hour+ walking, which is just impractical when i need to run and grab some fucking garlic powder real quick in the middle of dinner.

      Neighborhoods should have special commercial zoning inside of them to allow small shops, cafes, bakeries, etc
