I really hope we can end this absurdity with prioritizing slow methods of transportation. Cycling instead of driving costs an extra hour per day of commute time, and I am already living in the most premium (read: close to work) location I can afford. Time that I depend on for higher-intensity exercise and more thoughtful dinner prep.

It's hard to be sure if you are being consciously ironic or not.

We're already pretty darn well optimized for cars. As a friend of mine often says... "just lie down until that feeling goes away."
