    I can walk to a grocery store. I’m not doing it when weather sucks and I have a bunch of stuff.

    And public transit to get there would be worse.

    Besides, empty busses and empty trains require as much fuel empty as with passengers. They’re not as eco friendly as you may think.

      Ah yes, there’s nothing more organic than demolishing black neighborhoods to build highways.
