      When I lived in a small town, it was a bunch of ready crusty ass neighborhoods, some creepy meth houses, and no trees for blocks.

      I’d ride my bike to the gym so I could run on the treadmill because it was gnarly outside.

      If only. Sadly the technology has eluded a country with almost 20,000 cities and 331 million people. We share one homogeneous existence across a land mass of 3.8 million square miles (9.8 SQ KM), completely devoid of sidewalks. Maybe one day…

        Nothing grosser then staying at a hotel in Brooklyn, adjacent to a highway and on the otherside of it is a sprawling parking lot and mall. No sidewalks, no pedestrian overpass, it’s like the thought of walking was unheard of

          Weird. I walked across the Brooklyn bridge last week, and although I just went from the bridge to the subway, and back to Manhattan, it seemed like a very walkable city.
