And like I said, American cities are very spread out. I ride a bike and only have a few rinky dink shopping centers within a few miles. Jobs are pretty much limited to whatever minimum wage, entry level hate****s I can get at McDonald's, Wal-Mart, or...I think there's a Bed, Bath, & Beyond next to the Wal-Mart...I think. Everything else is residential, and I don't live in the suburbs by any stretch of the imagination. Even with a college degree I'd be pretty much SOL without a car.
