Currently we only think about how driving gets us there faster.<br /><br />About laziness: it's an ingrained cultural laziness, though. I think it's not so much deciding "I feel lazy so I will drive" as it is not even deciding.<br /><br />Though I haven't read that book (yet), so I don't know.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03312048754374286109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11349941.post-87660323198502436902012-05-17T05:46:45.679-07:002012-05-17T05:46:45.679-07:00In response to #5:
I started reading this book not...In response to #5:<br />I started reading this book not too long ago (http://www.amazon.com/The-Lost-Art-Walking-Pedestrianism/dp/B0028N72J4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1337258123&sr=8-6). He spent the first couple of chapters talking about reasons that Americans do not walk any more. I can't say it's the most compelling read, but it's a bit interesting. <br /><br />I've lived in non-walkable areas of the city and I've hated it. I'm not sure if that stems from the fact that I didn't drive until I was 21 or that it just makes me feel better to walk. People I know are sometimes astonished when they find out that I walk places 4 or 5 blocks or more from my home. There's a lot of laziness abounding and it's awful.Cheryl Cochranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479983514518764344noreply@blogger.com
