I think the view behind the anti-car movement is that there shouldn’t be cars. Period. Doesn’t matter what income bracket. Gas powered cars create huge amounts of pollution, all cars generate lots of waste and are in general very inefficient modes of transportation.

I believe in the end it advocates for busses and trains (above and below ground)as public transit. I think there’s also a belief that infrastructure is supposed to be updated to support this. Busses get their lane, while most of a street is for people moving under their own power, be it walking, cycling or using a wheelchair.

Aaaahhh, such a cute pupper! I’m grateful you cared enough to ask, and that you are being thoughtful. Hope you have many years together!

I had to think about this one for a while. I don’t know for sure if the name you chose would be considered offensive, but it very well might raise some eyebrows. To be safe, you might want to consider renaming them “Tikvah,” instead of “Hatikvah.” That way your dog’s name still means, “Hope,” and keeps the general idea I think you all were going for.

Another cute pic! “Hatikvah” means “The Hope” in Hebrew, and is also the name of the Israeli national anthem. Hence, my previous comment.

Great, now I’m hearing the song in my head. The joys of being Jewish clergy. Cute pupper!
