    No wonder the health issues run rampant, and that’s not even going into the food.

  2. I know it’s not true, but I like to imagine Alaskans just strolling through the empty, cold wilderness

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the county is a bad level of analysis for this sort of data. The dataset this was pulled from is almost certainly the Census’ American Community Survey, which gives data on commuting at the census tract level. If you map any city individually, you will see that there are many tracts where walking, biking, and transit wins out. When you aggregate that data up to the county level, you lose a lot of granularity, areas nearby metro stops get overpowered by suburbs. This map is deceiving because it makes it looks like nobody in Boston, DC, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc. use other methods, which is obviously not the case.

    I don’t consider any map like this legitimate without direct reference to the data.

    thats actually crazy to think about.

    here in Switzerland only about 50% of people use the car. would love to see that compared to other countries

    Surprised that Chicago isn’t also red? Just NYC and da Bay Area

  7. Ya it suck’s but idk how you’d fix it now. My nearest bus stop from my house is 45 mins and that’s literally just walking out of my neighborhood to a main road

    This data probably sees snow mobile riders and dog sled 🛷 operators as pedestrians

    I am 38 miles from my nearest jobsite. No public transportation is available. I guess walking is an option, huh?

    Yeah, well if LA fixes its public transport maybe it will change but i don’t see that happening in my lifetime.

    As someone that wants to live in a red area….this sucks because the only 3 red dots I see are unaffordable…

    Haha okay yeah, public transportation will never take off. Glad we settled that argument

    Why is there a red blob that appears to cover parts of San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa counties?

    Do the same with similar size countries (Russia, China, Australia, and Canada) and it would look the same. This is just Europeans who live in countries that destroyed all of their nature centuries ago and everyone lives on top of each other not understanding size and scale.
