All great stuff. Now convince this asshole to support it:
I'm totally here for all the things you said. But maybe 1 in 10 people where I am would even consider the idea. Carbrain has metastasized here, and it's terminal.
Yeah culture is the hardest to change, and the number one reason that any change in the right direction is so damn difficult and takes so long. I'm in LA for my summer vacation and everywhere I look I see something car related. Big road up to 6 or 7 lanes each way! I have never seen something like that before. Parking lots that are the same size as the building it belongs to, and cars that are double the size of the cars I'm used to. People that drive in cars like that probably will never change their view. But we don't need everybody to never drive again. But to make people drive less frequently.
