I thought humans were notoriously efficient walkers, so we don’t burn that many calories that way?
The problem is partly the culture, but largely the design of our suburbs and sprawl.
Increased density and public transit are cool, but until there’s laws about not cutting down that “empty” patch of trees, or paving over that old farmland, developers are gonna make shitty sprawl, and cars will be necessary.
I mean it’s so bad and people are so cheap about it that they choose forced HOAs to maintain culdesacs and roads instead of properly funding public services with taxes.
Or breaks a year later and your have to figure out what the fuck you made. The worst thing in the world is when you leave it for the next guy, and you end up being the next guy.
