    it’s not that we prefer to; it’s that we’re forced to when our governments refuse to fund public transportation.

    oddly enough; in this country; only the wealthy or privileged have access to public transportation whose benefits are competitive with driving.

      Yeah I live here but I think you are only partially right. I was at a mall back in the day with some friends and we all decided to see a movie. They all literally drove across the parking lot rather than walk.

      I live in the suburbs and despite riding my bike a lot, I simply couldn’t get by without a car.
