    stretch (verb)

    to make your body or your arms and legs straight so that they are as long as possible, in order to exercise the joints (= place where two bones are connected) after you have been in the same place or position for a long time
    “ooh big stretch”, they said while looking at the cat who just woke up.

    stretch (idiom)

    to make a claim that is not completely true, or to do something that goes further than what is considered to be reasonable
    “not sure about what your point is there, I think it’s a stretch”, they said unconvinced.






  • The majority of trips taken in the US in cars is 3 miles or less, completely walkable/cycleable/public-transportation-able. I don’t think anyone would say no one should drive 41 miles in order to go to work, but it doesn’t mean regional and local infrastructure especially in urban areas shouldn’t aim towards these goals because that is where the bulk of ALL general vehicle traffic is.

    These two things are not incompatible. In fact, it would benefit those who do drive because everyone doesn’t need to drive for many of their trips, and won’t because there are accessible and attractive alternatives.
