    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.
