Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Free electricity? Check. Living in a city where I'm a 15 minute walk to grocery, food, coffee, and more? Check.
Having to drive to work 25 miles away is where most of my driving happens.
Start job hunting? Apartment hunting? It took a lot of doing but I ended up getting to live close to work and it's great! Remote work is pretty popular too these days...
I assume you don't live in the North America then, because in a vast majority of the US and Canada living in a walkable area and living close to work are mutually exclusive.
I do live in NA and I commute by bike almost every day. It's not impossible.
No it's not impossible, but it's statistically out of reach for most people, for many reasons.
