When I was first committing to my no automobile lifestyle, one of the first things that struck me was the pavement. Fucking everywhere.

Next time your about town , take a mental picture. Then subtract the parking lots. The huge road. Put the buildings closer together. Make a nice bikelane, something just wide enough to get a fire engine down. Plant some trees. Pretty nice right?

Instead we have salted earth. It really is just rude to the earth. Fuck your car!
