White people colonized much of the world and brought dairy with them.

Watch the TED talk "Ghastly Tragedy of the Suburbs". Has your mind changed after watching it?

The irony of your comment is American infrastructure in 2023 favors cars is less capitalistic and more corporate lobbying and the government siding with the car industry.

Check out Tokyo. Most streets have no sidewalks. Very walkable.

My favorite places in the world are small walkable towns in nature. Sprawling car-centric suburbia has more asphalt than trees. It sucks.

Even as a nature lover, I’d rather live in Manhattan NYC than car-centric suburbia like Central Los Angeles is.

Very interesting fact. Thank you!

What would you like to see on the site? The main purpose is to raise funds for the walkability doc. The doc will cover why the US became car-centric (corporate lobbying, etc), benefits of walkable infrastructure and it will compare US cities to walkable Euro cities.

I’d like to see anything supporting the claim made in the post title.

Check out the TED talk "Ghastly Tragedy of the Suburbs" it's worth your time

What would you like to see on the website? All proceeds from hat sales go toward funding the Make America Walkable documentary.

If you want to make a documentary, I would like to know why your documentary will be better than what is already available, such as Not Just Bikes, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, or any other prior art.

This is a multi-year project, a feature length documentary that will be sold to a big streaming service, not a YouTube channel.

Do you already have an agreement to sell it for a big streaming service, or is that merely your aspiration? If you've already sold it, why do you need additional money? If you haven't already sold it, then you shouldn't speak about it as if doing so were a certainty.

Regardless, you still haven't answered my question. Why is making a multi-year, feature-length documentary better than a series of videos on YouTube? Why do you think that your chosen medium will be more effective or persuasive than previous works? In other words, why do you think you deserve donations?

It’s a project raising money for the documentary. Goal of the doc is to raise awareness about walkability.

It's an honourable goal - but the page needs to tell us why you're the right person to make this documentary!

How do you plan on proving your hypothesis? What evidence do you have to support it? Who have you spoken to who agrees and can support - who disagrees? What will the viewer learn from your documentary that they will not from elsewhere? Is it a documentary that the viewer will get excited about to see? If I disagree with you completely, might I watch it and have my mind changed? - These are questions I would want answered from such a site.

I'm afraid the website looks more like a political campaign, collecting cash from those who agree with you. Or a merch store with a catchy slogan.

Honestly I wish you well, I've supported indie docs before - these are just my first impressions from this site.

Thanks for the tips. I’ll use your advice to revamp the site.

That's a nice goal, but the site doesn't deliver the promise of the headline. You don't cite a single study or back up that headline on the site. The site title doesn't match the headline.

It's spammy to bait-and-switch with a submission that says one thing and then takes me to a page that tries to sell me a hat and make a donation - and utterly fails to provide any substance to back up the claim.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to include studies and useful facts on the website. Although it's more of a landing page from social media than an info destination

It’s not about being anti-car, it’s about having OPTIONS. In most of the USA, you are forced to drive. There is no good alternative.
