How intelligent. It's the US that has the bigger problem, and yet people
don't seem to even think about solving it. I was in the US for 2 months
without a car. In DC I could (just) do it, but in Rhode Island, Maine?
Forget about it. It shouldn't be like that.

I live in the country in the middle of a farm here. I can walk to a
supermarket. I couldn't return with a week's groceries by foot, but there
is a market 7 km from me. I can get to town on foot, or I can take a bus
which leaves early in the morning and comes back at 12:30. I traveled a bit
when I didn't have a license and it was slow and sometimes tedious, but it
can be done. In the US you almost can't there from here.
