55% of Americans say they would prefer to live in a community where houses are larger and farther away from amenities – compared to 44% who say the opposite.
Time is exactly why a lot of people in America choose to drive. Public transit practically doesn’t exist, or would take two hours to go about a 30 minute drive bleeding away all your time. I just checked, and there’s not even a bus that runs close to when I go in. It costs $4 and over two hours. I’d have to arrive more than six hours early to take the bus. And that’s with the bus stop, literally in the parking lot of the business.
America needs to decuple their public transportation spending for about a decade just for us to catch up with the developed world.
