People Hate the Idea of Car-Free Cities—Until They Live in One
Removing cars from urban areas means lower carbon emissions, less air pollution, and fewer road traffic accidents. So why are residents so resistant?
You're viewing part of a thread.
Yes, you are. Also a liar.
privacy
How is that important in a commute?
AC
Busses and trains also have AC. If you're walking or cycling, the wind will be more than enough to keep you cool.
I get to go shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day
You can do the same in walkable neighborhoods, only the sane thing to do is to buy less more often. As a bonus, you'll be healthier and your food will be fresher.
I use trains and carry a loaded gun with me everywhere. Public transports I carry a 44 magnum concealed.

Okay? I guess I'm a liar? What are you referencing if I might ask? I'm not sure where I'm lying here.

I didn't have to hear you. I don't have to touch you. I can blast tswift quite loudly and sing with my daughter as much as I want. I can also enjoy the quietness.

🙄👌👍 I love it when the zealots start telling me how much I sweat. It's giving insane deranged shit lol.

You most certainly do not walk with a family sized trip. I fill a literal full size us grocery cart. Not a chance you are doing that walking without some insane system.
You need to use ">" to quote someone.

I suffer from severe hyperhidrosis, meaning I literally can't stop sweating and sweat way more than the average person at any given temperature. Public transportation does just fine for me.

I literally do. Maybe all that sitting around in a car has caused your muscles to atrophy.
23 minute 5k. Try again bae 😘
So you are a liar :)
👌👍🤣
are you realising how petty and mean you've become in this comment section? is this the person you want to be? is this the person your daughter would be proud of calling her parent? exercise is proven to be good for mental health, maybe you should take a trip to that park you've mentioned and leave the internet be for the day.
Can I attack your kids in this forum claiming how salty you’re getting with losing an argument you don’t agree with? You’re disagreeing and taking it personal. Grow up and likely you don’t have any kids.
Have you seen the comments directed at me? Can you tell me who started calling names? Seems like 6 or 7 of the are the instigators 🤷♂️. I voiced my opinion and was attacked.
Happy to start calling names to Internet warriors. Not calling you that, but please go ahead and check the thread. I called those folks assholes after the fact.
You could have walked away and not replied to me, shut off your phone or computer and spent your time with more productive or enjoyable activities than arguing with strangers on the internet. You're not 5 years old, it doesn't matter who "started it" (I don't care), you've come into this comment section and posted an unpopular opinion and let yourself be consumed by anger.
I feel obliged to point out (for the people that might be quietly reading this, you can ignore this) that living in a dense neighborhood and being forced to interact with real human beings on a regular basis is good for my mental health. Reminds me that most people are actually okay and not like "keyboard warriors" on the internet.
👌👍
Food is fresher….so you like making unnecessary trips all the time regardless of how you get there. I do grocery trips once every three weeks. I also go on tons of camping and back packing trips and walk tons of miles. In short your argument is you rely on being in a neighborhood. How about folks who who grew up in smaller areas and want to be near family whom live there? Want them to pack up and leave and live in a tiny apartment?
