The suburban street design that’s been driving emissions since WWII

all those stupid mazes of cul de sacs - there should at least be a signposted cycle and footpath as a shortcut, which would help to encourage #activeTravel

It says a lot about how I view the suburbs that yesterday and today I extensively stocked up on stuff I will need through Sunday like I'm going hours out of town so that I don't have to leave the house I'm sitting this weekend because there's nowhere to go without a car even though I will only be a 20 minute drive from my apartment. No sidewalks, barely any accessible stores on foot. I refuse to pay for a Lyft/Uber/cab.

Little Kid made an interesting observation, but also very hilarious.

Because we mostly go to very local hikes, some times we end up driving to the suburbs to access a semi-urban trail.

Also, we live in a wakable urban core, regularly walk in town and often take the bus /train to the walkable parts of Seattle.

The other day we were on one of the aforementioned hikes in the suburbs. When we were leaving, Little Kid looked around at the empty streets and, I assume, compared them in their mind with the city sidewalks we often go into.

He exclaimed "people in the suburbs never leave their houses!". I laughed because it's partially true. But while I thought of a reasonable response, Little Kid had already found a satisfactory explanation, saying emphatically: "they must all come out at midnight."

(For context: he is fascinated with nocturnal animals)

This story says an awful lot about modern suburban life . . .
