      Yes, Some places are halfway decent to get around, even smaller places, but usually only either in the east or maybe on the West Coast and then generally historic neighbourhoods as building new places that are not utterly hostile to humans is generally illegal nowadays in most places.

      That’s my point. You build everything around cars like of there wasn’t anything else. I’m Canadian and we’re not muxh better, but you wouldn’t see a school like that here, and I didn’t need a car until my 30s.

        Isn’t 90% of Canada’s population within 100 miles of the southern border or something? I’m not trying to make excuses for the US but it is a very large area to cover. We actually used to have much better passenger rail coverage than we do now so we’ve actively been making things worse :(
