Living in Arizona is different among most. where in summers you see everyone in America walking and enjoying the weather that is provided. In Phoenix, Yuma, and Tucson (plus a few small cities elsewhere) The only good time to walk is the few months provided in the winter. For example, Me Biking a good 2.2 miles to the bank and actually seeing more than 30+ people walking or at the park. This is actually seeing a place where almost everyone lives in a house, with more than 2 cars, and EVERYONE (except for environmentalists) are DRIVING EVERYWHERE. This just shows how unique Arizona's capitol is. Where I live, most people think of anything more than a quarter of a mile is too far for walking. Then they don't notice how much money they are spending, none the less how much energy they waste going somewhere that takes just a few more minutes to walk there.
Why I don't want a licence.
1) The sidewalk exists too
The problem with driving, is you have to keep your eye on the road. But when walking, the worst you will run into for not looking straight is a small trip or possibly bumping into someone. but when you have the chance to be able to look around, you notice all the little things in the world that makes the city unique. Also, I am what you would call an introvert. I don't talk well with people. On social media or in person. I do my own things that make me feel alive. But I am also a person that loves seeing the world. So I walk.
2) It's cheaper
Although gas prices are already back to lower than two dollars a gallon, Its not going to stay. (hint hint. I looked it up, Gas is already rising. and fast)
3) It's a lot cheaper...
Why spend 100s of big ones a month to travel around the city when you can spend $100 once for a whole year? There is such thing as a bus and better yet a light rail system that literally connects almost all of the eastern city and to travel anywhere.
There isn't much else to say to the public other than, There is more to the city than people notice.
