Very weird. My life has greatly improved since moving to a walkable city. It’s very nice to walk and get groceries for a meal that day or walk to a bakery or walk to a bar or walk to a store or walk to my doctors or walk to my friends.

When I lived in FL you had to drive everywhere. I’d rather be walking. We literally evolved to walk long distances, and cars don’t seem to be making our lives better with all the externalities getting ignored (air pollution, microplastics, and noise pollution).

I don’t mind if people want to drive, but they should be paying the true cost and not keep a massively subsidized lifestyle that can’t exist without massive federal funds.
