Driving sucks. If you can, help advocate for alternatives and better planning!

No matter where people live in cities, everyone should have options for walking, biking, or taking public transportation in safe, accessible, and reliable ways to get around.

Zoning needs to change to allow more density and mixed use, bringing people closer to their needs.

Did you forget? 15 minute cities are communism! /s

Such a crazy idea. If you were able to afford to live near where you worked that would be less stress. More stress helps keep you complacent and under managements thumb. They have to pay you just enough to make sure you can never jump off the hamster wheel.

I don't live in a city, but I work there.

My boss won't let me do work from home.

What do I do?

I feel this weight every day. I drive a few times a week and frequently... its less safe than I'd wish for. I feel stuck with this shit location, no valid third places for me or my type of person. I might be moving next year but it's also not up to me.
