People say, I'm going to go to the gym.

Well, they don't.

But if you have a walkable street, you're going to pick up your cup of coffee or you're walking your kids to school or you're walking over to see your neighbor's house.

And there's something like 20 percent of Americans get zero physical activity.

Oh, absolutely.

And, you know, the biggest bump in life expectancy is from zero to 20 minutes.

Three years of life expectancy if you can just get people walking.

I'd rather do that by setting up your neighborhood so it has sidewalks and bike lanes and trees and a park so you actually enjoy it.

So you actually don't feel in danger doing it.

So it's convenient.

That's going to make a difference.

I agree on everything.

I was just putting a sharper point on what we're doing.

But you know what?

Here's where the hope comes from, Eric.

Municipal governments.

I don't deal with the federal government.

I don't deal with state governments.

I deal with the mayor and his city council.

And there's a lot of good local government who, by the way, most of them are in conservative cities.
