I suspect that, for the most part, this is advertising. Sure, advertising creates culture, but you're mostly communicating the result of what you're told by the media you consume.
That culture doesn't somehow make it sustainable or healthy to drive so much.
- selflesssieve 6y agoI get your hesitation, but it’s not advertising. You didn’t want your mom to take you and your crush to the movie theater. You didn’t want to wait 30 minutes until after practice to get picked up because your parents both work until 5. (I’m afraid that, your worldview may be, more narrow, than you, may think.)

- Schiendelman 6y agoOh, I assert all that land use happened because of advertising and regulatory capture! The movie theater was in walking distance before the massive interstate highway giveaways.
