You need a good vehicle out in the country. But newer suburban developments that are totally designed around the car-, highly populated, with no other alternatives. To exist, people are forced into their cars. Kids raised there have no concept of any options.Just *try* to cross that sidewalkless 6 lane intersection on foot, to navigate the 3 football fields of parking lot to get to that food warehouse, or the movies.

Griff, I'll check out the book.

Never mind the intersection -- I can cross that. What city dwellers don't understand is just how great the distances are out here in the suburbs. The movies? Maybe 6 miles away. That's 60 Philly city blocks. I live in Trappe happen to have a Clemens nearby, but it's mucho expensivo and I prefer to go to Acme in Collegeville, which is about 2 miles away.
