Towns

              As someone who doesn’t have a car right now and has to walk a lot, I feel I have a big say in this. It’s super cool seeing roads designed for people and not centered around cars. America generally doesn’t have the accessibility for those who don’t own a car. I know it’s a bit harder in the Midwest making that possible due to open land. As a Kansas City resident, the city doesn't cater to that accessibility. 

With all the construction going on, all the buses or forms of public transport are not accessible where I live. They were torn up leaving many without a way to get to work or groceries affordably. I agree with a comment on the video saying that America is very isolating to nondrivers. I feel the only area that this would be an exception is big cities, though not everyone lives there. 

       Growing up, I lived in a neighborhood, very much an American-styled one. There were no places I could walk to besides going to other homes in my neighborhood. You needed a car to go to any of the places a kid or teen would want to go. I feel that also impacts why kids who turn 16 go to get their licenses so fast. Compared to other countries, I’ve heard they don’t let 16-year-olds get on the road. With the way towns are structured, the difference is also drastically safer. Japan and Korea's way of structuring their towns and roads increase the safety of wrecks and possible injury to people.
