Even when places are close by, it just takes too long to get anywhere. I hate sharing the roads with other drivers. I hate speed limits, I hate traffic lights and road signs. Driving is so boring. After about an hour of it I start getting really antsy.
Its not as bad as before, but around the tail end of the pandemic, drivers have gotten a good bit more aggressive, impatient, and reckless. I think people are generally angrier? It sucks having to be on high alert for other drivers too.
Youtube fired this suggestion at me for a channel called not just bikes and it talks about how the suburbanization and outward expansion of most North American cities has made it terribly depressing and needlessly expensive to maintain. Everything is so car-dependent here which makes for tons of roads and parking lots. Most of which are unsafe to walk on, take up a lot of space, and are expensive for cities to maintain. Meanwhile the roads themselves are overloaded with signage and stops which makes them unpleasant to drive on too. The result is that its just not a pleasant experience to go anywhere.
