It did, so I left America. Now I live somewhere that prioritizes human-scale design, pedestrian safety, bike infrastructure, and public transit. Most days, I walk anywhere I need to go (supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants, shopping).
I live in Germany and cycle about 14 kilometers to work. Often when I get to my desk, I think "that was such a joyful ride through the wood / along the river!".
I had never a coworker (or my partner) when they were using their car heard saying something like "this was such a wonderful morning commute through the city".

Do they have tech jobs there?

Yes. I was allowed in under a highly skilled migrant visa to work a tech job.

I'm so glad that Imperial Beach is installing protected bike lanes on some of the roads. Hopefully they will continue.

Road rage incidents rise with number of lanes.

Isn't that obvious?
