The answer is not to surrender the comfort and convenience of cars for the utter misery of being exposed to the HARSHNESS of the elements on longer commutes; it's to fight comfort and convenience with MORE comfort and convenience!

- Steltek 9y agoSkipping over what I'm pretty sure is sarcasm, never leaving your house isn't a really great long term strategy. Unfortunately, what I believe to be the ideal solution: denser living, better public transit (high freq. w/ bus lanes would be cheap and effective), and pedestrian-first streets (sidewalk/bike area = car area); is simply a non-starter for most of the US. Outside of coastal cities, most Americans can't even imagine what that's like without immediately jumping to visions of Manhattan urban canyons (not even Queens). And even then, as this article points, Manhattan is not some oasis of car-free lifestyle either.
