Too bad the entire country was built to accommodate for private vehicle transportation. Now people will be stranded in their never-ending suburbs, without public transportation, bike lanes, nor even sidewalks

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
