   @petergleick Just a thought: The motor-vehicle part might be a bit misleading. Because the more car centered your environment becomes, the less people – and especially child – unfriendly it becomes. And so you go out less, and the line goes down just because you have fewer possibilities of a crash. So the line would maybe go up if it accounted for loneliness, sedentary lifestyle and all the health effects that have, pollution of the air and water, etc, but it doesn't.

     You know how the Republicans are cutting the costs of social security and Medicare? They're killing off the elderly.

     US life expectancy plummeted.
