Fuck cars is nothing but city dwellers that think their lifestyle is scalable to suburbs or the sticks.

What if I told you.... owning a cell in a tower, is STILL owning property. Property is physical assets. Landtarian would at least make a bit more sense from a derogatory attempt to slander, but I wouldn't expect someone arguing to force everyone into communal prison cells to understand that.

I definitely want a more expansive public transportation system out here in the foot hills. A high-speed rail network to connect us to other parts of the state would be awesome. But it isn't feasible to get rid of all cars completely. A single parent out here can't be expected to make multiple bike trips for the equivalent of one grocery store run, up and down hills to feed multiple children and work a full time job. Some people out here live on roads where cars can barely drive on let alone a bus. edit: typo

You've identified the problem. Now for solutions!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

The solution is individual vehicles for transportation. Congestion is not an issue in the sticks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

The solution is people not living in rural areas? Are you aware of what people living in rural areas do?

god forbid you tell them you own an XUV or a Truck and use the bed for actual work...as much as i dislike the lifted trucks in florida. they don't get flooded when the rain comes, they can tow half the state because most of us live in trailers, 5th wheels or other 'recreational' housing, i love my Hyundai Accent for the commute and all, but one bad rainstorm and its Good night sweet south korean prince.
