Human Scale

The concept of "human scale" is most known in urban design and architecture, but it provides a good framework to think about a lot of different aspects of our lives.

This community can be the place in this hyper-connected world to display and cherish the things that are not.

I don't have a car since the last 30+ years and I don't see why I should buy one.

Disclosure: I am not living in the USA.

Be thankful for a life where car dependency is not a thing...

Absolutely! I am so happy that we have biking lanes, sidewalks, and decent public transport.

Its draining, I've been without a car in the US for about a year now. The amount of effort to get to work is absurd. Forget about getting groceries home. Like the article mentions, hosting is a whole other issue when you can't offer the options you could when you have a car. It's a mess trying to live here.
