    big oil literally destroyed public transit so we’d be dependent on their products. believe me, living without a car is hard and I’m lucky enough to make it work. and the situation is artificially created for the benefit of the oil and auto industries

      Yep, I went without a car for several months in a large US city that theoretically is decent for public transit and my life became much more difficult. I was able to make it work, but it has seemed barely sustainable. Now I live somewhere (not by choice really) that is completely impossible without a car/delivery… unless I spend hours a day walking, which would be very hazardous due to everyone else’s cars.

        indeed. we need to dump money into transit construction in big cities
