There really could be a tram there. It's my pike dream.

Cars rule everything here. :(

Fat Americans... Right. But they forbid walking for day to day life, make it hostile basically anywhere that isn't a major city, and even there it kind of sucks to walk/take the bus/ride a bike.

There's density here, Universities, my husband works at one of them, he leaves an extra 30 minutes early for work everyday, because parking is such a bitch up there they fight for spots(workers have to pay for a parking pass too!). My son can't even ride his bike to a park or to school. I can't tell you how much I hate it. I'm literally trapped unless I have a car. We won't be able to move somewhere walkable that dream is dead.

I was fit when I rode my bike to work, back in the day in my states capital. My grandfather was a civil engineer who helped design this hell. I will always hate him. I don't have the freedom of movement unless I was to dodge cars going 60mph, and be the only person on the sandy street, where people just stare at you like you're poor from their cars.

Anyway. Ugh. I can hope for changes in the future, but that is becoming very bleak each day.
