Capitalism brings us cheap imported gas and U-Haul.
- necovek 2y agoI believe they are referring to cars as "big furniture". Still, it's a pretty bad, lame question, probably from someone never riding through hilly terrain for 100s of kms every day, while also driving 2+ kids around too. Obviously, US could have been very much oriented towards "local" economy, but historically, it could and did invest in good road infrastructure, and that has led to growing appetite for better housing (which was only available further away from jobs), so they are now pretty much "stuck" with that. But I did see plenty of people on bikes when I visited cities like SFO, Boston or New York (even if SFO and Boston are hilly).
