[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't bring your current definition of normal to this (or other areas) because they are not the same. In the part of California where I came from, normal people drive huge pickup trucks and live in large ranch homes with pools and pool houses. Downtown is a dump (but improving!), and only poor people walk or ride transit, so they drive their truck 15 miles one way to work. In DC, the majority of us don't live like that. I bicycle to work and save thousands on transportation including gas, parking, insurance, car maintenance, gym membership, Metro, etc. [/quote] We already live frugally and as sustainably as possible in a walkable neighborhood. We have downtown housing, bike-to-transit, trails and bike lanes, beautiful handmade bikes and horrible spandex shorts in flyover country, too. Do people just not know this?[/quote]
