46. It's more the way suburbia is set up
I would like to use the car less, but time constraints and distances make it impractical.

I would like to live in a city, though. Where you can walk to the corner store, that type of thing. The world was built for walkers up until the era when we went for suburbia - and that was based on that you'd have a car.

We need more flexible mass transportation, too. Cities have that where ironically, things are closer together.

We need to redesign the suburbs.
