Who says you need to move?
~50% of the US population is urban, and that number is rising quickly.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoThe kind of "urban" that qualifies for that label in the US is a lot more spread out and car-based than it is in Europe. Miami, FL and Los Angeles, CA are urban, but have relatively small areas of high enough density to support a public transit system.
- onlyrealcuzzo 3y agoThis whole thread is about biking. Miami & Los Angeles could be biking paradises with minimal effort from the city. But voters view bikers as subhuman.
- pclmulqdq 3y agoI think you are underestimating how much effort would be required. That is at least a 9-figure project in each city if you don't widen any roads and just convert car space to bike space.
