RAND Health has just released new research, which found that people living in areas with a high degree of suburban sprawl are more likely to report chronic health problems such as high blood pressure, arthritis, headaches, and breathing difficulties.
The findings suggest that an adult who lives in a more sprawling city such as Atlanta will have a health profile similar to someone four years older who lives in a more compact city such as Seattle.
Deborah Cohen, a RAND researcher and co-author of the study, makes the well-intentioned mistake of offering the following advice: "To improve our health...we should build cities where people feel comfortable walking and are not so dependent on cars."
How easy it is to complicate solutions!
Wouldn't it be a lot simpler, much less expensive, and infinitely more effective to teach people living in suburban sprawl to reject their killer seriousness by embracing my prescription, The Fun Factor, into their lives?
Heck, I'll teach it to all those serious people in Atlanta for free! All they have to do is come to my website and they're on their way.
