Hank Hill: “…so, are ya city or suburb?“

Lakewood, OH: “well, for the last 120 years I’ve been a streetcar suburb, but I’m actually the densest city in Ohio.”

Bill: “streetcar? Like a Ford Focus?”

Lakewood: “no, stupid, like a pre-car town!”

Hank: “…

…so, are ya city or suburb?”
Right, this is true, but the OVERWHELMING evidence of the past 100 years of American life is that vastly more people want space and a car than a smaller unit and a car-free lifestyle. This is mostly why the suburban share of US population has grown relentlessly for the entire 20th and 21st century
Some people put a premium on space in my experience, others put a premium on not having to have a car and not being isolated out in the suburbs

During #NationalRuralHealthMonth l'm sharing stories from NW Ohio. Next year, for tens of thousands of people across my region and 500,000 Ohioans, health insurance will become unaffordable. Speaker Johnson, I hope you listen to these desperate pleas.
