Ii have no plans to move or change jobs anytime soon for various reasons. My area is very conservative, the only thing well-funded is police. Non-car infrastructure is a low priority, I'm very aware of the politics here. My best efforts are at state or national level even though things like bike lanes are generally decided locally. There just isn't enough political energy to get them to spend the billions we'd need to widen all the roads.
