    I live in the suburbs of Tokyo now but I grew up in Michigan in the middle of nowhere. 7 miles to a town with a traffic light and 3 miles to a town with a post office smaller than a convenience store. The town with a post office had passenger rail service 100 years ago. My grandpa told me about it. Guess what happened? The automobile manufacturers bought the line and shut it down. I rode my bike to both towns all the time and in all weather. #FuckCars
