You're the asshole here. There's SUVs and crossovers (aka short SUVs), almost zero sedans are manufactured these days thanks to the dumb ass govt and cafe. I don't even want nor have**** an SUV, but judging people for having something you don't want is ignorant and foolish. People pick from what is available for the most part. Giant cheap ass SUVs are easier to find than a small sedan that gets 4 mpg better mileage and that's the govt's fault.
it has nothing to do with personal preference. that is your own selfish rhetorical frame. those things are wasteful and dangerous and require shitty hostile infrastructure. they are also a huge scam and you don't need one. this is why Americans are depressed as fuck.
I have a 7 seat tandem bicycle and tow a wagon on my grocery trips. Don't mind the fact that the nearest Walmart is a 14 mile trip since I can't take the highway on my 7 seat bicycle, that's not relevant. I just have to keep in mind that as my toddlers grow their pedals and seats need to be adjusted, but at least they should have more power to drive us up 15° grades as they grow. Thank goodness we will never have to leave our home in any case of emergency because our nearest hospital is only 10 miles away, well, make that 20 miles since we can't use the highway. At least we have the consolation of only getting 8' of snow each winter. Could be worse. Just gotta get my 4 year old to use his weight for traction. So long as we have public transport we should be just fine. All I have to do now is lobby my government for the infrastructure to create public transport. That should be easy. I mean it's one infrastructure, what could it cost? $10?
sounds like a shitty life
Sounds like you don't understand that other people's lives are different from your own.
i know everything there is to know about your life
Sick. Finally someone I don't have to share with.
that's the point of a suburb isn't it? you never have to share anything
Oh I thought you knew... I don't live in a suburb.
