And yet every time an article about walking or cycling is posted here, people come out of the woodwork to explain why they couldn't possibly be a practical form of transportation, and no we shouldn't fund public transportation either. Have you considered that not everyone lives in a car-dependent suburb? What about people who are too old or disabled to drive a car? What about people who can't afford to buy and maintain and insure and fuel and park a car? Have you considered that a car can be a prison rather than a power fantasy?
