What about transit? Why do Americans always have to drive. We need real alternatives to cars.
Have you seen America? It's huge.
There's also way more to America than the metropolitan cities you've been conditioned to prioritize.
Yes. I grew up in the Midwest. In rural America. I live in a city now on the west coast… Transit is a great option for metropolitan areas. U.S. cities in general have terrible transit options, big highways ruining core city areas and no thought of pedestrians in many areas. We need to start with fixing that. Slowing down urban corridors, taking away parking, adding better light rail to encourage less use of cars. Yes, in rural areas and outlying areas cars will of course still be needed. It’s a huge country.
