    10 km

    Haha yeah, 10km… 😭

    Also everything else is getting more expensive and poor people are already struggling to make ends meet. Not great making their life even harder

      I assumed fast walking to be 5 km/h and you said 2 hours.

      I’m totally with you, but the US mobility problem is fucked since the 1950s and now there’s no easy solution. The bigger picture is that every investment into car-only infrastructure will hurt the working poor and precariat.

      A short-term solution could be raising fossil fuel taxes and subsidising people who cannot afford any other mode of transportation with a part of that money.
