What's the alternative? If weight of the metal box is the problem, individual cars beat out buses and trains.

- closeparen 9y agoThe alternative is to all live within walking, cycling, and transit distance of our needs. This also doesn't work very well when we're not willing to upzone/bulldoze/gentrify existing low-density communities on centrally located land.
- YSFEJ4SWJUVU6 9y agoDon't we? Transit distance with cars, that is?
- closeparen 9y agoEvery distance is walking distance if you have enough time. By "transit distance," I mean "a distance that can be covered on public transit in an acceptable amount of time." I'd wager that for most people, this is less than half the distance they currently drive.
- DKnoll 9y agoI don't think moving every time you get a new job is feasible. You also can't help where your friends and family choose to live.
