    Because unless the Rockies are gonna move to the Midwest, they won’t be within walking distance of me. Having some places closer would be great, but I very deliberately chose to not live in a bustling neighborhood. If a bunch of businesses opened up on my block, I’d sell and move out. If I had to choose between a 10 minute round trip car ride to the store vs walking for 5 minutes, I will drive everytime. There’s a golf course literally a block and a half from my house, and the three times I’ve been, I’ve driven. I don’t have to be in the elements whether that’s hot, cold, snowy, or rainy and I start and finish in my garage.

      That’s your choice, and as long as we stop subsidizing it, and make drivers pay the full cost (direct and indirect), I’m fine with that.
