No shit. Having been to the US a few times now, it’s amazing just how awful it is to be a pedestrian in cities like LA or SF.
How is this even news?
America doesn’t care about walkability. It’s a country size commercial zone. Gotta do business…
To the suprise of absolutely nobody
They could have asked me instead of making a study…
Whaaaaaaat??? – absolutely no one
Study reveals grass is green
Well duh – the USA calls walkable liveable cities “15 minute cities” and thinks they are scary.
we should invent “olds”
its like news but old
I mean, Americans have to train themselves to walk “long” distances before they visit anywhere in Europe because most aren’t used to walking any further than a car parked closely by. The automotive industry lobbyists made sure their infrastructure, culture and laws alienate pedestrians. In many places anyone see walking will actually have the police question them because walking anywhere is seen as suspicious.
Color me surprised
I decided to have a quick walk to McDonald’s in LA using their deserted pavements, and a police car actually pulled alongside and greeted me. Once they heard my English accent they just drove off. That’s how odd it is to see someone walking in certain areas.
you don’t need a study for that
This in, water is wet
And the pope is catholic
News in, Pope is a Catholic
lol no shit
This is the least shocking news I’ve heard in awhile.
But who funds this kind of “cutting edge” research and journalism?
You don’t say! Who would have thought?! I’m flabbergasted by this result!! Such a surprise!! OMG!!! My world has been turned upside down!!!!
“Dacia Logan beats Formula One car for boot/trunk size”
Was on holiday in the states for 4 weeks , visited 4 different states. The place is a fucking disaster. Good place to make money but other than that Europe is the best for me. I’m a Brit and despite speaking English the place seemed totally alien to me compared to Germany where I live – even though my German is crap
Breaking News: Water is wet
Who approved this article?
Why is Europe in this one sided competition with America? We don’t care.
I don’t need a fucking study to tell you that.
In other news, water is wet!
Duh
Do you really need a study for that?
mild shock.
US cities aren’t walkable at all.
A study was needed for this?
Real Madrid v Real Salt Lake
Did anyone not already think/know this?
We may pat ourselves on the back but their are still a lot of cities that are truest shocking without a car. In the UK for instance just look at Birmingham or Milton Keynes.
This just in, fish have gills
*surprised Pikachu*
God, how much money did that study cost?
In other shocking news EU beat the US in free health care.
“But I live in a big house made out of wood in the middle of nowhere and have a big car to go to a big and ugly mall”
Europe Beats the us on everything, US is shithole country.
We need studies to show common knowledge now?
The fuck kind of study is that? No shit lol.
“Study shows that cows are 10x more likely to produce milk than an ostrich.”
