As much as I love the idea of being out in nature, the thought of leaving the city I was raised in, my entire family behind and of the opportunities, experiences and quality of life that come with living in a place that for the most part prioritizes people, is a non-starter. I’ve lived out in more suburban places for a few years and I couldn’t imagine going back to needing a car to do practically anything. I’d much rather dedicate my energy advocating for solutions rather than leave everything I have behind.
