Is that amount of time common to walk in places in the world where cars don’t dictate the layout of the community?
Im going to be making this walk tomorrow, no worries, I’m just curious if its normal in other places. Maps says its 1hour15minues for 2.3miles or 3.7Km.
I knowww right? Im not from america but when ever i see that something around the corner is a 160 minutes walk is CRAZY! Even here in german country side you have to rely on cars to even get anywhere outside the villages!! One should have the right, to get to anywhere with public transport and not be reliant on private tools!
I dont get the whole “cars give you freedom” argument.
How are you indipendent if you are trapped in a metal cage you cant move around in? Dependend on so many companies, mechanics, oil, licensing, insurance and all that you pay yourself!!
I once met one that tried to argue car dependence is good because since you force people to spend their money on all that is good for the economy. I am NOT KIDDING!
The “cars give you freedom” argument also completely breaks apart if you stop to think about the millions of people who can’t drive, such as children and blind people, who are forced to rely on someone else taking them everywhere because they can’t walk without getting run over and public transport is nonexistent.
It’s only “freedom” if you can afford it.
Yes! It is a right!
It SHOULD BE a right! IN LAW just like food, water, housing!!
