You guys have zero understanding of America.
The only way this will even get started is if there's a push for motorcycles over cars. Thats a good middle ground.
People in every city between LA and New York will laugh at you for trying to use a bike for daily activities. Shit is just too far apart. Which is fine with me, I dont like neighbors, im loud and dont like people watching me in my yard. Probably autistic.
Mmk but it sounds like you prefer a more rural, removed from city kind of lifestyle, so yeah it would make sense to still have cars in those situations. But more dense areas like cities and towns bikes still absolutely makes sense, adding to consideration trains.
People in every city between LA and New York would greatly benefit from better public facing transit, and would laugh at the idea everyone is going to begin riding around on motorcycles.
I agree.
However I cant think of a single person in my life who would choose public transit even if it was available more. Im sorry but the ugly truth is, it's dirty, smells, loud, and the people on it are often on drugs (notice im not saying we need to deport and kill homeless people, some people think im saying this but I am just speaking from experience here). Public transport is not the utopia people think it is. Unless you have security and 24/7 cleaning, humans will ruin it (like everything).
This tells me you haven’t been to Europe
Noy yet! Im sure its much better there. There's really no hope for American public transport. Too many assholes.
Well I haven’t given up hope
Sounds like a skill issue on your part.
Mostly the urban design skill :-)
If you're not actively trying to push for designs that promote more walkability and bikability; and instead contributing more to our motor-centric nightmare, then please do everyone a favor and quit your job.
My city is expanding too fast and is too spread out. They refuse to design it better so there's nothing I can do. Suburbia nightmare roads here.
Like I said, you can quit and stop being a part of the problem.
