Well I'm drinking the coolaid on this one.  My grandfather died in an auto accident.  And I love walking.  Driving is so stressful, especially when everyone is on their phones, or high on opioids or whatever causes terrible driving.

Anyway, this was worth reading twice.


Automobile supremacy.  Traffic Violence.

Kills 40,000 a year.

"parking lots now cover more than a third of the land area of some U.S. cities"

 "Why are we taxing bus riders to pay rich people to buy McMansions and luxury electric SUVs?"

"In other words, the very fact that car crashes cause so much social damage makes it hard for those who are injured or killed by reckless drivers to receive justice."
