    I don’t disagree with you, having walkable infrastructure would be great.

    It just doesn’t really seem achievable in any meaningful way.

    A few hundred km from here a gargantuan hydrogen facility is being built - using solar to cracking hydrogen from sea water. It will take decades to build, and is a big undertaking.

    I offer the above as an example of something difficult but reasonably achievable.

    Lobbying local government to favour walkable infrastructure just doesn’t seem like a viable pathway to meaningful change in a reasonable time horizon.

    Yes I should take 15 minutes every election cycle to vote for the right person. Beyond that though my input wouldn’t be very valuable.
