One surprising piece of research I found when writing the book was that while the number of kids biking & walking to school has dropped by a lot since 1969, the number of kids living within a mile of their school has only gone down by about 15%.
This is obviously a, ah, provocative take on the subject, but it indeed an enormous societal problem that children have stopped walking or biking to school. There are plenty of individually rational reasons parents might drive their kids to school, but, in a wider context, no good reasons.

"Deconciliation"?
Hypocrisy exposed: DRIPA was only ever a ruse, and now that it has been found to be enforceable, it needs to be made unenforceable. But those who took it as genuine, and especially those who worked so hard to make it happen, have every right to be very angry indeed.
