Santa Monica Mirror: On Depaving

Santa Monica Mirror: On Depaving

I'm not a "car person" - I admit that I enjoy and rely on their convenience from time to time, but I don't especially enjoy driving and I find an urban environment where it makes sense to walk and use public transport much more "human" and pleasant. This article makes a lot of sense to me, and I wish there were some way to decrease America's dependence on the automobile. My choices about where to live are very very heavily influenced by the pedestrian-friendliness of various locales. I'm not attracted to living in a suburban environment for this exact reason.
