no, it does not. for most people that good observation area is in a range of 200-300 km, that can be walked on your feet, if you can't afford public transport. It is definitely not as convenient as being able to observe from your own backyard, but hardly impossible.
When was the last time you walked 20kms let alone 200
how is that relevant? is there any answer that would result in conclusion "no, it is not possible"?
You're arguing like You're 13. I don't have the patience for a conversation with you
so i understand you don't know the answer. ok then, tuck your tail and run, clown 😂
Disability, time, supplies, weather, no safe route...
any answer regarding my personal walking habits.
I think you severely underestimate how many poor children there are that have no economic ability to take trips outside of where they live.
you might be pleasantly surprised that situation is not as bad as we often think.

long story short, majority of children born today will be able to see the milky day, that is assuming they will be interested in seeing it.
yes, not out of their balcony in the center of 10m megapolis, they will have to take a bus somewhere. poor children living in the middle of rural nowhere may be poor, but "lucky" enough to actually see it from their backyard. i assume there is quite good linear dependence where the really poor people likely don't have that much light pollution around them and those who do can afford a bus ticket.
that may indeed not be applicable to every person in the world, but the title of this post is making it sound way more dramatic than it actually is.
