    I can walk everywhere in my city (Barcelona), but still fuck cars. Thankfully they are pedestrianising a lot of roads here too, as there are still far too many cars.

      Same here, i don’t often use trams or trains, i’d much rather walk or bike or whatever. But the peoblem might be the people who don’t even want walkable cities, because a whole bunch of people don’t walk.

      I was walking through the city the other day and i was in the middle of a bunch of people. A tram was approaching from behind and pretty much everyone around me was pucking up the pace, because they wanted to catch it. It then dawned on me that most of them are way out of shape and/or overweight. I kept walking normally because i had bo rush, and i was still just as fast as the people doing the fast walk while being super exhausted after their 50m sprint.

        I wish I lived closer to the city so I could walk more. Walking is the best. But I live about 17 miles from the city and couldn’t afford to move closer if I wanted to.

      this reads like even though you can walk everywhere you still choose to engage in sexual activity with cars

      Just made me chuckle, no offense intended.
