I can't punish freeways enough for the life they've enabled. The closest thing you will get to teleportation in your lifetime is moving to a city. Maybe you cannot get from one side of the world to another in a minute, but you certainly can walk down the street to get anything you need in a minute or two in good major cities.
- mentat 7y agoHow do you think things get too the cities?

- kortilla 7y agoAnything you need... maybe, but most certainly not anything you want and it won’t be at a very good price.

- reilly3000 7y agoYou're right and I wish I could afford it. Real Estate prices are validation that cities are a better way to live. I bought a car 8 months ago and I've only driven 1500 miles but I'd love to drive less. We have inherited a legacy of feeble foresight and racism, built into our cities and roads, but we're going to build something better in our time.
- portlander12345 7y agoThat’s an average of about six miles a day. Would you enjoy doing some of your travel by bicycle?
- nogabebop23 7y agoMost of the emperical studies I've seen suggest people who travel little by car generally do less trips vs. many shorter trips; i.e. they're not driving 6 miles a day, they're driving 20 miles twice a week.
