What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore? (lemm.ee)

The problem is, our cities (most of them) are already designed for cars. To change them to accommodate walking and public transit would be somewhere near the largest sociological project the world has ever seen. It would require upending every single aspect of everyone's lives in order to refit them around walking and public transit. I think it's unreasonably infeasible at the current time.

lol I hate how the argument is basically, we shouldn't do this because it would be a lot to take on.

Learn to live differently, damn.
