> You might say "the U.S. is so big!!" but I would just say we should largely be living closer together in medium density mixed-use environments (not skyscrapers, and certainly not suburbs). That doesn't mean you can't have a car or a yard, or a garage, but you should probably be walking to work or riding a bike - or at least some of your family members should be.
Those are a lot of shoulds about how other people should live their life.
- ericmay 6y agoFair, but let’s remember that we live in a country where that’s the norm. For example: I should pay taxes to support the military to defend the Petrodollar and our allies in the Middle East to keep the oil flowing. People suggest how you have to live your life all the time. The above is a trivial example. I don’t want all this oil to power all these cars putting carbon in the air? Why should I have to live my life this way?
