literally all of social media seems to be flooded with post about walkable cities with high density housing. Any discussion about improving roads is filled with anticar faggots seething. where the fuck did these people come from?

>>28478468 (OP)
People who drive are generally obnoxious and self-centered assholes. If you live in a big city, chances are there are better methods of travel than cars.

>>28478468 (OP)
One, it’s social media. The average person isn’t espousing their beliefs there. It’s just a loud minority. Second, is it really such a bad thing to want spics, negroes and white women on their phones off the road by giving them alternatives to driving? Imagine if the interstates were just driven by enthusiasts.

>>28478468 (OP)
All the millennials in cities can’t afford and don’t need cars (despite using uber to get everywhere) and can’t imagine life in a suburb or rural area at all to consider life isn’t the same everywhere.

The WEF and Soros also have this idea that cars are wasteful use of resources and pollute too much so they want them to go away and have been spending money promoting this idea.

>>28478495
People still overwhelmingly want to drive, even faggot millennials. It’s purely an issue of finances, people can’t afford cars. I see a multitude of even zoomers that are supposedly the gayest generation ever regarding cars coming to car meets hosted, gawking at all manners of cars.

>>28478468 (OP)
I think it's because American cities are very unwalkable and driveable so people want to make them very walkable and undeiveable like there was nothing in between. It's like when Italy and Spain decided to go communist right after their fascists died.

>>28478468 (OP)

Mostly this. Cars aren't very exciting these days and have increased in price and cost to own more than income has for 99% of people.
There's also been years of propaganda in movies and by people who want to appear "green" that cars are just evil.
Then the whole phones thing, they can't imagine missing a discord msg for 5 minutes. And they've lived inside so any form of physical danger seems to terrify many zoomers in stead of exciting them.
The population has increased and towns are more dense than 20 years ago, driving in heavy traffic isn't a good time.

>>28478468 (OP)
It's part of the "climate crisis" push which is a push to urbanize and restrict middle and lower class people to police state friendly cities. It goes along with the expansion of the rental based economy with massive corporations buying homes to reduce home ownership, and deliberately inflationary policies and onerous regulations making cars more expensive and less long lasting to discourage driving and car ownership.

>>28478468 (OP)
Take a roadtrip to /n/ for a few minutes and you'll see. Its an annoying handful of losers who are broke ass losers living in the gutters of dying cities who think if everybody shared their misery then they wouldn't be such failures by comparison.

>The population has increased and towns are more dense then 20 years ago, driving in heavy traffic isn't a good time
Very much fucking this. Im only a 30yo boomer but I recall there being way less traffic when I started driving 14ish years ago. Maybe I'm looking back on the past with rose tinted glasses, but so many fucking jeets and sandmonkeys have come here in the last 10 years, plus Uber, food deliveries and package deliveries that the roads are just completely clogged with them.
If you go up north out of this city hellhole it's much better, but cities are unbearable to drive in leafland

>>28478468 (OP)
It's people priced out of a car that also still live off their family. A majority do not have jobs and just want a super cheap house and to walk away from family without putting actual work twords moving out cause they got media and sitcom views of reality and cities.

There will always be a housing crisis but retards still choose to degrade quality of life for other with forced density

Real question, isnt it a good thing to give city dwellers a walkable city so there are less car drivers around and all of /o/ suburbanites/rurals can just drive and have fun with less npcs and retards on the road? Isnt this a win win for everyone? Why would you as a car owner living outside of a city give a single shit that the inner city is less congested in the future? I live in the Netherlands, which is generally one of the top countries those content creators talk about for walkability and I actually hate that our train system is going through the shitter which caused more bad drivers to be on the road. It used to be so much better.

>>28478649
It isn't a win-win because driving in walkable cities is always fucking garbage

>>28478468 (OP)
They're using not owning things and gen a/zoomers are afraid of being outside

If you lower the amount of distance people can go to access goods and services, it's easier to control what those people have access to.

Their end goal is to have the people be as dependent on the government as possible and be completely incapable of providing for themselves.

>>28478656
Because nothing screams independence from government more than using a vehicle that requires the active import and government management of fuel on a daily basis. LAND OF THE FREE!

>>28478660

>>28478652
that's the point, the whole purpose is to discourage driving in that area, it is garbage because you aren't supposed to be doing that

Leftists babbling retarded propaganda. As usual.

You also have to remember that leftist beliefs are entirely based in spite and bitterness. They will present vaguely plausible arguments, but that's an irrelevant smokescreen. This is why their arguments constantly change and often contradict themselves. They aren't ever making a good faith argument. The actual purpose and motivation is to make things shittier because they're so upset about being ugly loser faggots who hate themselves. So instead of actually improving things they want to make everything shit for everyone and ruin anything good.

>>28478668
That's gay as fuck though. If I'm in a ciry, I want to be able to drive my car to where I'm going, have ample parking day or night, and be able to see my car while eating out
San Diego and Santa Barbara are as "walkable" as I want a city to be. Kansas City (MO) was pretty good too for that. Cities like Barcelona, London, and Rome are just fucking terrible to drive in

Now kids just hang out online and their "friends" are people they play video games with who might live in Japan or Egypt or Chile. They dont care about mobility, everything is brought to them electronically while they sit in the basement eating cheetos and slamming mountain dew.

Cars are shit in cities and there'sliterally no reason for a sane human being to visit a city, let them have their public transport stabtopia if they want it.

>>28478652
Idk man, I would say it's pretty good here even around cities. The only thing that is near impossible is the old town city center for non residents. But you can just park ur car outside and walk or ride the bus for that last 500 meters u fatass. Idk what you people always complain about.

>Make this generation poorer than any generation before in the last 60 years so they can only afford a 5k$ shitbox Honda or go into massive debt instead of a cheap sports car and wonder why they dont like driving
Kids simply adapted to the environment they got handed to them. Opening your phone and sitting on your couch gives you instant, easy and cheap access to dopamine. Being broke and driving with friends to somewhere for an experience is expensive. Not to mention that covid hand an incredible impact on interpersonal relationships for people and the breakdown of friendship /ability to make friends for a lot of people including kids.

what they don’t tell you, that you have to figure out for yourself, is that suburbia cannot coexist with walkable neighborhoods.
You can’t own a detached house, you can’t even own a semidetached townhouse. at absolute best you get a high rise condo, but more likely you’re renting an apartment for life.
I’d love to drive to a walkable neighborhood, park my car and walk from there, but I’d never want to live in one.

streetcars aren’t walkable either. Might as well call my neighborhood walkable because it’s only a quarter mile walk to the bus stop (followed by 30 minutes to get the 3 miles into town)

>>28479100
Not quite a hundred years but I see your point. The thing is, those old suburbs are worth real money now because they were and are nice places to live. The urban fabric is superior to what has been made post-war.
You can tell when an urbanist group is legitimately grassroots when they're wanting to bring back the streetcars.

social media is flooded with literal bots that push an anti-car narrative.
the elites want the poors and proles to not have personal transportation (apart from maybe a bicycle).

>>28479078
>what they don’t tell you, that you have to figure out for yourself, is that suburbia cannot coexist with walkable neighborhoods.
It can, because they can both exist in different locations. We're not living in a cloistered mega anthill city from a dystopian apocalypse, we have people that want to live in a nice city and people that want to live in a nice neighborhood and people that want to live in a nice countryside and wow look at that they are all, already, different places.

Yes they do. It's a popular leftist POV and the source of most opposition from everyone else. The real question is why have cities in the US been under leftist control for over half a century and yet they're not the walkable utopia leftists demand? Why haven't leftist leaders given leftist voters what they want? And why do leftist voters keep electing leftist city leaders who won't even keep something as simple as the sidewalk in good repair? In many cities, sidewalk don't even exist outside of business districts. For some reason city leftists blame rural conservatives for leftist city leaders not building leftist desired amenities in their leftist cities.

>>28479903
Move to a city. You chose to live in a suburban or rural area and then demanded a government chauffeur and millions spent on infrastructure so you could larp as an urbanite outside of an actual city.

>>28478483
Agreed.

t. I have eight cars between 60 years old and 20 years old, three registered, five projects. I also have multiple bikes and commute by bike on sunny days, and I also have a bus pass. It depends what mode of transport is the best for a given trip, or even multi-modal, e.g. park-and-ride.

Anyone who's discarding a mode of transport out of ideological reasons is a retard.

Yes, there weren't people raging about skin color online because that's their only sense of worth in the world. Black people probably see this shit on the internet and freak out and become afraid of the outside world, you would too. Unfortunately, scared male animals are much more violent than calm ones.

Literally r.eddit. If you want to feel that I was being racist, then go ahead, I permit it, as I'm sure it makes you feel righteous. My comment, however, is true - there were fewer cars at the time, and so streetcars were still viable. Its like how buses today are kind of forced on the population but only get used by those who are poor. People who can afford to own and operate cars, do so.

>picture shows light residential
That's a suburb. Most of San Diego is a suburb, it's pretty low density.

>>28481687
Residential areas were denser than suburbs today. It's essentially a few things that make any form of shared infrastructure not viable in most of the US:
- Urban sprawl has increased the distances between everything massively, and building infrastructure miles is expensive
- Zoning laws prohibit small businesses from opening up in residential areas, which could have helped reducing the distance to the nearest grocery shop

Technically, not even your residential suburban streets are viable, the low density makes municipal tax-dollar-income per mile of street too low to properly maintain them. In addition, you make your streets needlessly expensive by being like five or six cars wide - they're the same width as stretches of no-speed-limit German Autobahn.

>>28478483
People that take the bus or walk for a "protest" do more harm to the city than anyone driving a car.

>>28481958
>That's a suburb. Most of San Diego is a suburb, it's pretty low density.
Most murican cities are mostly suburbs. Mostly

But in the west, building bikepaths, walking paths, bus lanes etc always comes with restricting traffic to force people to use non car transport.

quite easy to understand

>>28478468 (OP)
Its one part of the global climate change propaganda where private cars, fuels(including the non-car related fuels) are bad thing etc. Same anti-car discussions has been in europoops countries many years before America.

our suburbs aren't that bad and don't deserve the hatred the transalt yimby urbanists people give them when the property taxes for them run $10-20k a year on average for a $500-700k single family home (and the area is pretty developed anyways with commuter rail/bus into the city). if i wanted to live in a rural area it would be a 2-3 hour commute one way.

Housing is expensive and suburbs are now either extremely overpriced or have been ghettoified.
Put all of this together and you should be able to understand why plenty of people are annoyed that a lot of city centers have been rebuilt to accomodate cars first which means that now the primary factor in road layouts exists to the benefits of a shrinking minority of people.
And let's be honest, (you) hate driving downtown too and don't pretend otherwise. No one, not a single soul on Earth aside from a taxi driver charging by the minute, likes to drive in congested city centers.

People want better quality of life.

The average car in the US is bigger and more expensive than it was 10-20 years ago to meet emission and safety standards. The average driver has gotten considerably worse so you have to be constantly vigilant to avoid getting hit by someone looking at their cellphone, a pothead, or some illegal
That being said. Walkable cities are nice on paper, but because of current demographics it's not appealing to a lot of people

>>28478468 (OP)
Because it's hip to be dependant on government and then complain when they don't do what's in your best interest. People are fucking idiots, there's nothing more to really say.

>wife lives in DC
>first thing I did was convince her to move out of DC and at least to NoVA

Holy shit I hate DC so much. It IS a walkable city and the Metro is decent, but FUCK busses. Niggers, Spics and the assorted drugged up trash littering the busses is awful. The biggest issue with any public transport are the deadzones that see a bus like once an hour and only until 8pm and have little to NO metro connection. It is as you say - walkable cities would be nice if everyone got their shit together and behaved like humans, but because of pot-smoking niggers, drunk spics and rapist Jeets, we can't have shit.

>>28484504
You do realize the people pushing for walkable cities are ALSO the same exact people that say owning cars is deadly for the planet, right? Is this supposed to be a coincidence?

>>28484536
Being relegated to a city center that I can only walk around in sounds like hell on Earth. You fuckin faggots are so unselfaware you don't even realize there are millions of people that hate YOU and want to be as far away as possible

>>28485347
it won't be that bad anon

>>28485360
That is unironically better than the OP especially if it comes with a backyard and garage. Especially if you have kids

>>28485360
These stupid overview photos about suburbs are misleading. Suburbs are much more beautiful on actual street view.

Anon, I get your point but that is also retarded. I hate the whole 15 minute city idea but it's still smart to be mindful of this stuff.
Don't add not locking your doors to your muscle memory. All it takes is one time your in a large town.

This. And people quickly abandoned streetcars once cars became affordable and attainable enough for most Americans. Streetcars were loud, slow, and rode like crap. People can say it was a conspiracy by automakers to dismantle streetcars which I’m sure has some element of truth to it, but in reality it was simply people’s preference for cars that ultimately did-in these systems. The US was victim of their own post WWII success and high standards of living in a way, as millions of people could buy cars which coincided with our biggest period of growth leading to car centric design which was seen as forward thinking *for its time*.
I don’t know what the solutions are. Even building new light rail lines can cost a city billions of dollars that they don’t have. For the US and Canada I can see more use of Bus Rapid Transit lanes over trains to split the difference. Might as well use the road infrastructure already in place to its fullest extent.

Been 3 times to US over the last year. (European)
Twice in Houston and once in NYC.
I liked people in Houston more but the city was pure utter nightmare to navigate. Literally no sidewalks, impossible to get to anywhere without driving.
I wanted to go some mall that was like 1 KM from me and it took me like 30 minutes.
For this reason I liked NYC far more as a City.

Getting around city should not require you to drive.

having +800 cars for 1000 people so that people can live in cookie clutter suburbs and commute 30 miles to work on taxpayer funded highways is wasteful

>>28478761
yeah so youre lazy and selfish

>>28487090
>wasteful
90%of humans are a waste of oxygen and global resources.
There is zero reason taxpayers need to provide food for starving children on another continent that will never amount to anything.
Israel receives more money every year than federal infrastructure projects.

Why Houston? It's such a shit hole (as you found out)

i used to be more interested in urbanism until faggots got involved and started spamming it. everyone who has an opinion in favor of it won't shut the fuck up about it. I want better bus systems and fewer parking lots downtown but that's about it.

>>28487212
it's a shame that they're such faggots. I agree with like 40% of what they talk about, and I own 3 cars in a walkable neighborhood.

You can't fix public transportation until you fix the junkie/"teen"/migrant problem. Anything you do to make public transportation more desirable to the public just makes it more and more desirable for the undesirables.

It is truly a junk op.

Easier to kill off massive populations in close proximity when everyone uses public transport/isn't in their own protective automotive bubble. When they create the next covid you'll see

What kind of retard has to drive to use a treadmill at a gym? An American.
Boomers are dying and people are realizing it makes no sense having to drive 15 minutes to get milk or drive 2h one way to sit in front of the computer and bow to your goldenstein overlords

>b-but it was always like this!
no it fucking wasn't this is recent and it all boils down to boomers being completely fucking retards

keep in mind its worth remembering that not everyone likes cars, or even driving. We in this board are a minority in society.
Plus having less people driving is good for people that likes driving
>b-but my road taxes! it's about to go up because of electric vehicles, bikes and bus riders
if you really like cars and driving around, this seems like not an issue at all then

It's the end of the yes-man generation and it's a good thing.

>>28485347

nobody is saying that
