State lawmakers are mulling a law that would establish commonsense protections for families that give their children a reasonable amount of independence.
America really is a country where you were not allowed to be outside unless you’re in a car.
That’s the most dramatic, basement dweller take I’ve ever heard. There’s all sorts of outdoor places and activities that are government run in the US. State and local parks and recreation programs can be absolutely amazing in this country. This story is not the norm in any sense. There’s plenty of amazing things to do and places to go outside in the US. Knock off the melodrama.
…but not your own street, and most cities are or were (re)designed to make walking as unpleasant and difficult as possible.
But it’s OK because there’s national parks you can drive to. Sure, you might not be able to talk to the shops, do you can walk in these special, government approved areas.
I get the feeling that the fact I walked to my local cafe for a Frappe would blow your mind.
Ugh…yeah. My street connects to a state park. There’s also a school playground down the street the other way. I can walk to 3 grocery stores and ride my bike to any fast food you could think of. There’s always many bikeable bars and restaurants. Your internet derived views on the “anti-car” sentiment is not my reailty, sorry.

Need a car to get to any place, and you can’t be there without money.
It is my opinion that you are dumb for saying that.
