I appreciate what you're saying and that would be fantastic. So many, far more, disabled people deserve to have mobility given to them at next to no cost and that's absolutely a place I would want my tax dollars going to.

I do not fall into that category and I am fortunate for it. I can still walk and stand, I'm just slower than before and time standing takes a toll.

My point was supposed to be that things like "wait until you hear about a bus" doesn't apply to everyone and doesn't solve any issues. With our current infrastructure, for most people outside of a city, having a car isn't really an option. I would love to walk to the store and back in a few minutes

I would love that! Unfortunately that's not the reality I live in.

There is so much that could be done to make that a future and I am all for it

I agree, infrastructure is horrible in the usa and I live in an extremely high population suburb. Yet, it is still horrible.

My disability involves my toes so I am perfectly, physically capable of driving. I am also physically capable of walking to the grocery store. I would also spend the rest of the day/night/potentially next day feeling throbbing pain in my toes.

I hope you can imagine that is not something I would cherish.

Bro, I can walk 1 mile to the grocery store and 1 mile back. That's roughly an hour including shopping. I have a disability on my right foot so I'm slow moving.

I can walk 1/2 a mile to the bus stop and spend another 20-30 min to the store, so around 2 or more hours.

I can drive there in 5 minutes.

Cars are not the solution and are terrible for the environment but many people don't have other options
