Lack of convinient walking space contributes to OBESITY. When I come back to North America after time abroad I am always shocked at the number of OBESE people everywhere.

At least there are sidewalks in the right pic. None of the main thorofares in #ColumbiaMaryland #ColumbiaMD have sidewalks.

Like this mile long street I have to walk down every day, putting my life at risk. This is well within the city limits, but all because it's technically a "state highway" and property of the state, the city can't do anything to make it safe for pedestrians.

The guy walking down the middle of the street seems ok

LA isn't happy with this post

But those European buildings were there long before cars. We can certainly do better than that pavement hellscape on the right, but we can’t build the model on the left outside our downtowns.

I wish we had more fountains of (free) potable water too :) water is life

Walking cities would generate sooo much more revenue. Places where people want to go.

"Why can't our cities look like that?" Good question! I dig into the answers in this HIGH SPEED dispatch: www.highspeed.blog/why-cant-our...

Come to Europe the streets can be glorious. 🙂
