Fair enough about "can be".
It takes me seconds to find a parking spot. The parking lot is large and right there, I could park in the farthest away spot and be inside in less than a minute. I live in a detached single family home and have a garage, so I don't have to find parking at home.
Again, I'm not saying it's not viable, but in many cases the "advantages" aren't there.
Note: this is in a suburb of a major US city. There is plenty of space, all single family homes, US-like supermarket.
Edit: added note about city.
- Noos 7y agoI don't think the people replying to you understand what a suburb or small town or city is like. I feel sometimes I should make a video of my home town (pop 40,000) to show people here why a lot of things like bicycling to work would actually play out here. Edit: Like I really do't have traffic jams here...traffic is steadily moving at 40 mph or so with only minor stop and starts.A lot of things you have to get on the highway for, which makes bicycling simply impossible. Even depending on the town, where you work matters; most people here are knowledge workers who can fit into a downtown center with no hazard. The guys working at the local lowes distribution center, chicken farm, or industrial park have their workplaces in the middle of nowhere due to noise and pollution concerns.
