We need mass-transportation and small, electric cars for when you absolutely have to drive yourself somewhere.

Our neighborhoods and roads are packed with massive trucks and vans and weird crossovers that look more and more like giant basketball shoes, and the people who drive them have statistically NEVER taken them off a paved road.

I mean, yeah I'm lefty #49764 ranting about transportation, but it's all because of the social manipulation by people who want to sell trucks that cost as much as houses and have unlimited access to our politicians. The only solution I'm offering here at this point involves creative home-engineering projects.
