It still amazes me that we’ve basically let ourselves be manipulated into buying, and even defending, that THIS is what “freedom” looks like. Dependency is never freedom. Freedom is having real choices. #cardependency

Sometimes it takes a seizure to learn how your city functions for people outside of cars.

“I thought losing my licence would make me more dependent on others. Instead, it taught me about interdependence. I can drive again now, or opt to walk or bike. But what if I couldn’t? Who would help me up the hill? And, who can I help?”

The latest in misguided ways to make kids safer from cars (I think this really is not a joke).

With regards to the State of New Hampshire, on the contrary, more modern car dependency is unfortunately present within the State of New Hampshire, which lacks such strict land use regulations and focuses on environmental impact only in select regions of interest.
