No, but you do have to make enough to convince the bank to loan you the money to buy it. Houses in major cities cost WAY more than $170k.

That’s certainly a possibility, but it doesn’t seem like the most likely explanation to me.

If the child stayed in the native community wouldn’t that imply that they would likely grow up to have a child with someone else in that community? And that their descendants would be more than half a percent native genetically?

I dunno. It rains in Portland too but every time I’m there I see loads of people on bikes.

Given the right bicycle it’s pretty easy, but that’s beside the point. The question is why don’t people use bike lanes that seem pretty nice on the surface of it, right? There has to be a reason other than “bikes suck and nobody wants to ride them,” because in some places people go everywhere on bicycles and they love it.

So what, really, is the main difference between those places and your town, if it’s not the quality of the bike lanes?

That sounds expensive. How many roads have such bike lanes? Hypothetically, if you wanted to replace a trip to the grocery store, how useful would they be?

I have literally never seen the idea of a 15 minute city being restrictive anywhere other than the ravings of Alex Jones tier wingnuts. Everybody who actually pushes the concept just thinks you should have a grocery store, a doctor’s office, a library etc. near your house.

Edit: and don’t get it twisted, nobody is saying you should be forced to relocate either, it’s a guideline for urban planning.

If people aren’t using the bike lanes it’s usually because they’re shit bike lanes.

Briar would be great if I knew anyone who was willing to use briar

I’m working my way back from 125kg, it was miserable living that heavy. I can’t imagine being 200kg.
