All of this makes me think about how our cities are designed. How we have created our cities to be auto oriented and how we need to stop investing in auto infrastructure and work towards transforming our cities to be bike and people oriented. A moratorium on funding for anything auto related and redirecting all of that money to this transformation. A New New Deal that supports life without oil. This may sound idealistic but it is an issue of national security.
