Good post and a lot of interesting points, some of which I've seen raised in the uk too. But one thing that confused me, in the US is only having one car and walking or cycling to work considered a big sacrifice?
- zacharycohn 12y ago(full disclosure, I do not know anything about the town OP is from) It is a big sacrifice when you live in a suburban area, which typically don't have great (if any) public transit options. You could easily be 3 or 4 miles out from the nearest grocery store or shop - let alone your job. In many cities in America, you NEED a car to get around. It's just not feasible to live without one.
- ck425 12y agoIs it a big deal to have only one?
- douche 12y agoImagine that you and your spouse both work 15-20 miles away from your home, in different directions (This is common outside of the biggest urban areas). Unless you REALLY like to bike, you need two vehicles.
- nsxwolf 12y agoIf there are 2 working adults in the household? It's a non-starter.
