You have to shoot big if you want to get anything close to what you want - it’s a basic principle of negotiation

It’s definitely true, but I still wear it when the weather is crap or it’s dark. I’d rather be seen and honked at than missed entirely

I was really struck by the interviews asking whether people walk anywhere, and everyone was saying ‘no, I even drive to the convenience store’

You wouldn’t find that in most cities in Japan for sure. Even places with worse public transport, people still walk to the local stuff. Making it too easy to drive makes everything else suck
