[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone has summed up the very reasonable objections.  No way any of these can be fixed[/quote]

Yes, boomers and gen X'ers must keep polluting the planet relentlessly with their personal automobile addiction until they push daisies, because their hubris won't let them admit that the way they architected things led to the current toxic built environment and relentless global warming.  Got it.[/quote]

Don’t blame Gen X for setting things up this way. Honestly, some of the build architecture choices around our cities and suburbs aren’t even Boomers’ fault — the interstate highway system and the development of car-friendly suburbs was the result of choices their parents’ generation made. [/quote]

+1.  I'm Gen-X.  For most of my time in the DC area, I've taken public transport to work (bus or metro, depending on where I was living). But things change when you have kids or marry someone that (gasp) works on the opposite side of the city as you.  Seems like some Gen-Zers haven't had to grapple with those realities yet. [/quote]
