Sociology
Welcome to c/sociology!
Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life. In simple words sociology is the scientific study of society. It uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change. While some sociologists conduct research that may be applied directly to social policy and welfare, others focus primarily on refining the theoretical understanding of social processes and phenomenological method. Subject matter can range from micro-level analyses of society (i.e. of individual interaction and agency) to macro-level analyses (i.e. of social systems and social structure). Read more...

Explain your reasoning, please.
This is a common vibe from urbanists (spoiler alert: I'm an urbanist, myself). The heart of the message is this: in the US, our streets and cities have been designed to prioritize the car above all else, at the expense of all else. In most of the US, if you try to go anywhere by any other means, bicycle, walking, bus, you name it, it's downright hostile. In fact, it wasn't always this way, and we only arrived here after decades of consistent lobbying, political fuck fuck games, and influence campaigns by car makers. So, this is, in part, an effort to reframe people's thinking about streets from something that cars go on to something that cars share with others.
Oh, so you're one of those.
Roads are made for cars, and people shouldn't be walking on them at night with dark clothes on.
They're by definition a road hazard, no matter your personal beef with cars.
In the UK most roads were made well before cars existed you moron
And? They're currently made for cars.
Moron
I know you are, but what am I?
You see, that's how you sound. Only children resort to insults when they have no legitimate argument back.
