[quote=Anonymous][quote]And who are you to demand that those of us living more responsibly continue to subsidize the resources you so thoughtlessly consume? Haven't enough Real 'Merkuns died so you can continue to count on cheap gas? Haven't enough scary-assed regimes been fueled by oil money? Hasn't enough environmental damage happened to our own country as the result of our efforts to "unlock" our own fossil fuel reserves?

What about the depletion of farmland as it gets converted to "subdivisions"?

And yes, the obesity epidemic, for which car culture is at least in large part to blame.

You say all this is your business alone, but we all share finite natural resources and communal economic resources. Face it, your lifestyle choices are no longer so dominant in this region that you can continue to live as you do without coming under some criticism. And certainly, the faster-rising value of District and sorta close housing stock confirms that perceptions of the desirability of a car-centric lifestyle are changing.[/quote]

PP you make some good points here.  I don't want to tell other people how to live, but I do worry about what kind of world our kids will inherit due to our shortsightedness and wastefulness.  I worry that there will be more dangerous weather events, and that drought and hotter temps will lead to food and water stress and political instability.  I worry about how the U.S. will pay for health care given obesity and diabetes costs increasing and at younger ages.[/quote]
