Fuuuuuck... I don't know how things work there, but in this part of theseTexas, you can call the city and they'll do a survey to find out if a sidewalk could be installed. If that doesn't work, you can write to your city council.

I hope this gets remedied for you.

Edit: Corrected insanely stupid typo. Don't drowsy browsy the internet, kids.

That's kinda what makes them carbrains. If they had an ideology around it that would imply some amount of thinking.

Even if I was pro-car for myself, I would love to see more public transit funding. It would take cars off the road and make my time driving nicer.

When my grandmother got too old to drive, she became confined because of cars. There was no public transit in walking distance. There was nothing in walking distance except houses.

She just sat at home by herself and waited for the end. Hoping someone would come to visit her. It was insulting and inhumane.

Yeah! That and the fact that our society has erased several or most of our ways to communally build identity and shifted us to build identity based on consumption items

i think the key is when the thing in question is normalized and something most people do, then saying "we should do this less" means de-normalizing it and not having most people do it, which means they'll personally experience change in some way.

like if driving isn't the way to get around you'd eventually get rid of the oversized everpresent highways, which makes their personal travels require more thought and attention, and that's unacceptable and thus they just completely fucking make shit up to defend their lifestyle.

My best commute was once when I lived within walking distance of my work. The only downside was that they one time figured I could make it into the office when nobody else could due to snow.

My second best commute was via a bus.

By far my worst commute was one time when I moved in with a friend who liked cars and lived far away. With zero traffic, the commute was 45 minutes, but there was always traffic.

Then wait a little longer until we get to the point where gas is so expensive that even subsidized fuel is no longer affordable.

and biofuels can be significantly cheaper, a sane actual conservative who genuinely prefers combustion engines should be championing biodiesel cars.

Fossil fuel is renewable .... we just have to wait millions of years for it renew itself

No, carpybara is the capybara equivalent of a mermaid. The word you're looking for is "capybus."

We can have better social media.

I also find cruising on the highway with other safe drivers enjoyable, but maybe that just makes me car brained :D

Cars feel fine anywhere but a city. There they induce so much danger anger and waste.

Yes, driving a car is fun. I didn't say commuting was fun.
