It might surprise you to know that the majority of adult americans have a sizeable growth frequently attached to their ass. This growth is the cause of a great deal of personal pain and plight. It is the leading cause of death in American youth, and a leading contributor to the obesity epidemic. It costs the average family more than $7000 a year to manage, more than three times what is spent on all other health care.
Luckily, the operation necessary to remove this growth is inexpensive and painless, it’s called a carectomy…and it’s all we blog about here.
The growth in question is, of course, the mass of steal, foam, rubber and fuel that sits in your driveway when you’re not sitting in it. And though the automobile has become universally popular because it is so gosh-darned convenient, it’s getting less convenient every year. Cars produce 22% of America’s greenhouse gasses, they are the sole reason for our dependence on (and the instability in) the Middle East. On average, drivers waste a full day of their lives every year in traffic jams.
Every day, more people realize that it’s not the bad drivers, bad roads, and bad traffic that they hate…it’s the car. We crave a walkable, bikeable, mass transitizable life. And it’s possible! With the right mix of technology, architecture, urban planning and a little bit of craziness, people, communities and even cities are getting carectomies left and right!
