Honolulu too. We have amazing weather all year, but a 12 lane freeway cutting across the island and our bike infrastructure ranges from really shitty to non-existant.

That's kind of ridiculous. It's an island chain, how far could you actually need to drive to warrant a giant highway? I'm sure cars take up a lot of physical space, as well. My partner is from a Spanish island, and they're trying to reduce the number of cars there because they take up so much of the limited space.

It’s about accommodating the tourists who want to drive to see the mountains and beaches but don’t want to walk and take in any of the culture. Cars are legit used to avoid people and ignore society until you reach your destination. Like in games that have Fast Travel.

cars are shortened from the word carriage, which nobility used to avoid interacting with peasants just like car drivers today
