New research shows a holistic approach, combining infrastructure, educational programs, and financial incentives, can transform Australian cities into sustainable and thriving communities.
How are Americans privileged? Most Americans live in poverty (pay check to pay check, struggle to afford nutritious food, struggle to afford healthcare), they don’t have the freedom of walkable cities or quality public transit, they live in constant fear that they can be fired without warning or cause, etc.
Americans don’t even have a democracy or the freedom to unionize (without being fired and blacklisted). All we had was cheap consumer junk and nice national parks, but Trump is ruining both
Was talking about the privileged 20% of Americans for whom none of that is an issue, who ride fancy bicycles to their coffeeshop remote jobs and who imagine that what works for them personally is a replacement for proper public transit.
True, my statement applies to anywhere public transit is lacking, which is most of America (and many other countries). If your country already has good public transit, it doesn’t apply.
American commentThis came off kinda rude, I didn’t mean for it to be. I’m gonna leave it in the interest of transparency though
On the contrary, it’s countering a misconception of privileged Americans.
