Thanks for that – it shows

Thanks for that – it shows the car-obsession of the U.S. (though we seem to be following their lead with that). I’m wondering how it’s going to end up with the poorest being priced out of the walkable cities and forced to live in suburbs. Maybe it’ll lead to a resurgence of cheaper motorbikes so that people in suburbs can get to their place of work. Unfortunately, most of the U.S. seems to be built exclusively for the benefit of car makers.
