▲ 406 ▼ Most Americans would rather live in a big house in a car-based community than a small house in a walking-based community. (www.pewresearch.org) submitted 4 months ago by Valuy@lemmy.zip to c/fuckcars@lemmy.world 148 comments fedilink hide all child comments
[–] Kaz@lemmy.org 14 points 4 months ago (1 child) Time is the most valuable commodity you will ever own. Anyone that chooses a life with loads of transport are sort changing themselves big time. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheLadyAugust@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago Time is exactly why a lot of people in America choose to drive. Public transit practically doesn't exist, or would take two hours to go about a 30 minute drive bleeding away all your time. I just checked, and there's not even a bus that runs close to when I go in. It costs $4 and over two hours. I'd have to arrive more than six hours early to take the bus. And that's with the bus stop, literally in the parking lot of the business. America needs to decuple their public transportation spending for about a decade just for us to catch up with the developed world. permalink fedilink source parent
