    Fuck /fuckcars

    They actually want to bulldoze so much, just so we can cram more people in closer together. And no, no one wants to be walking around when its 90+ degrees out, or literally freezing.

      Ive never seen any calls to bulldoze anything. We do a lot of complaining about how much was bulldozed to fill landscapes with stroads and parking lots. And dont act like we’re not calling for buses and trains as well. Have you stopped and thought about why it’s too hot to walk around now?

          Ill give you the benefit of the doubt that you mean even if it was pre-global warming cooler it’d be too hot to walk. It’s still extended those periods where it’s too hot and cold to walk. Plus, again, we also call for buses and trains and trams for your air conditioned travel needs.

      “We should allow higher density and missing middle housing to be built and promote alternatives to cars” == “We want to bulldoze everything”?

      They throw out all nuance and have absolutely no empathy or consideration that others need to live differently than them. Or hell, need to live differently than them in order to support their own lifestyle. I swear 90% of them have never lived outside the city they were born in.

        OK so the majority of people has to cut back on so much, especially a safe environment to get places, just so a few people with a car fetish can keep buying bigger and bigger cars. Got it.

        I generally agree with you about fuckcars. They’re sanctimonious assholes. But when it comes to housing, suburban sprawl is always bad.

      Yeah, they’re pretty much ACAB now but cars instead of cops.

      EDIT: Before anyone even says it. Bad cops suck. Cars do not suck. Big lifted trucks are ass. I wish I could make a 4 wheeler street legal.

          I make a living out of my car, so in my case, I’ll just have to disagree.

            If a good amount of drivers walked or took public transit/bikes instead, wouldn’t that make your job easier?

              Of course, sure. Problem is, I’m in the Detroit Metro area so good luck prying the F150s out of people’s hands around here. Second off, with the plans fuck cars has there’d be areas where I’d have to park and walk to deliver stuff. I already have one outdoor mall I deliver to and it fucking blows having to park and walk all that way because 99% of the time I’m marked as late because it takes so long to deliver shit there. I’m not a slow walker either.

              So yes, less traffic would be nice. Will that ever happen in this particular city? Hell no.
