If you want America on board, get the people on board. Tell them why it's a good idea to stop driving their car. I'm not saying this to be snarky, but that's what it's going to take.
I try. But then they point to the inevitable inconvenience of not driving. Chicken and the egg.
As an aside, your username reminds me it’s about time for another rewatch of cowboy bebop
Telling me that will do nothing.
You'll have to convince me!
The problem is when the environment is already optimized for car use, when everything is massively spread out. Hard to get people to stop using cars when infra for walking is an afterthought.
