    I’m putting my foot down! No more than fifteen presents!

    What the actual fuck?

    Also, what’s the deal with the golf cart? Why do they have a golf cart?

      It’s quite common here to have one for driving around neighbourhoods, as cheap ones can be $1,000+.

        That still does not answer my “why” question tbh.

        But I suppose that in a country where “walkable neighborhoods” are construed to be some nefarious communist plot to rob people of their freedom, not walking its a status symbol.

              The US hasn’t really discovered Bakfiet bicycles yet.

              Watching people take six kindergarten kids or a whole refrigerator on a bike through town in Berlin and Amsterdam was wonderful. They could do a pretty good Costco run on those things.

        Imagine spending $1,000+ when walking is free.

        I can imagine someone with a disability wanting a cart like this to get around, but this woman does not need a fucking golf cart.

        We’re all going to die because of this overconsumption bullshit.

          Does someone having one prevent someone from getting one?

          My friends have one because they have a baby and no car. Is their consumption too much for you?

            Having one instead of a car isn’t overconsumption, but the woman in this article clearly has both. It’s a problem.

              This seems exclusive from that.

                So, where I come from, there’s nothing to drive to in the neighborhood except other houses. Also, a neighborhood is at most a square mile. That’s all I envisioned.

                What, exactly, did you even mean by “neighborhoods”? It’s starting to sound like you’re talking about driving several miles.

                  It can be several miles since my friend’s one goes for 40km. Your neighbourhood is yours, we have lots of places to go to between neighbourhoods and districts, and lots in each.
