Okay I am probably not getting any of this right now...my brain is just about fried after being out in the heat.
I live in Houston and there are many areas where you can live, work, shop, just about everything by walking. If I was able to, I could walk just a short distance and buy just about anything I need. My neighbor has started doing that, since it's all close and there's no need to waste gas.
I don't necessarily see this as something being forced on to people...life is about adapting...adapting doesn't have to mean giving in.
Well I just re-read what I wrote and it doesn't make much sense to me lol but what the heck I'm gonna post it anyway.
