Kind of ironic that in America you need to live close to busy traffic to drive yourself less.

I like being able to walk everywhere and have dependable public transportation and rail near me.

Do not like living right next to roads with cars on them.

what’s not to like about being as good as dead if you venture 5 feet straight ahead of your front door?

it’s like those houses on eroding cliff faces everyone makes fun of, but every house.

I tell myself I walk to work because it's a good time for fresh air, sunshine, and mental reflection (and it is outside of commuting times) but the reality is that I'm getting buzzed by F150s and Suburbans the entire time.

unfortunately American hates wagon because they aren't four ton SUVs, so the only brands that make them now are luxury ones (bmw, audi, mb, volvo). I have a 2011 audi wagon that I bought used 7.5 years ago. In those 7.5 years I've put on 20k miles lol. It's great for MN weather, but gently caress timing chains

best part of my former one mile walk "commute" was that it was pretty quiet, except for when I walked over 94 and saw cars piling up in traffic starting at 2 pm :laffo: which owned

it's an area of Minneapolis called spaghetti junction, where 94 and 35W run parallel for a short time, and it's a total clusterfuck

Can you run over cars legally if you have an even larger vehicle? That relationship holds for cars and smaller vehicles

I do have access to a bulldozer

edit:

Forgot the current drama, dear FBI/CIA/DMV/etc, I do not plan to run over cars with a bulldozer like some sort of cartoon character thank u

yep. its a 2020, the last year that model existed. its also a manual. i got it for cheap because it had 3 previous owners but only had 6k miles on it. i assume previous people couldnt handle the manual or they wanted an suv.

Plant particulates are a bit different from fossil fuel particulates both in terms of carcinogenic factor, consent, and volume of externalities.
