How can people afford cars?

Ah that remind me of America, last time I was there, I walked for five minutes and a police car came and stop me because I was walking instead of driving, which is a very weird to them.

Bill Bryson (I know how cool am I?) wrote something about how he moved back to the States (from England) and decided to go for a walk on evening. He said his friends kept stopping to offer him a lift to where he was going. When he said he was just going for a walk they were flumoxed.

My mtae used to live in Houston and he had to learn to drive pretty quickly. Simply because there are no pavements in the more residential areas. PPL in these areas just don't walk, ever.
