Not only are cars literally killing us and destroying our world, they're also an absolute #Privacy nightmare!

And this is also just what a WALKING culture looks like, as opposed to a driving one.
Mellow, naturally thin, not due to “working out,” but due to LIVING actively, naturally, because your gams take you where you need to go 9 times out of 10.

Bikeways made walking miserable.

A narrow dirt path bordered by greenery leads downhill between a brick wall and a white fence in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Cows graze on the lush grass beside the path, with a mix of urban buildings visible in the background under a cloudy sky.
Urban cows. What the small car-dependent minority don't see and don't know is that Antananarivo is a patchwork of walkable villages.
