Re: Real Estate and the Oil Industry
Most Americans don't have a choice but to drive. Our homes, work and everyday life have been planned for us in the days of cheap fuel. When suburban sprawl was the rage no one gave a thought to the cost of driving.
There are not many people located where they can walk to a store even if there were sidewalks to use. Where I live there is no public transportation, no sidewalks and the commercial district is spread out over 20 miles of our main road frontage.
For us to stop driving they need to bring back the downtown commercial centers, make the roads pedestrian and bicycle safe, and improve public transportation.
