Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I mean, when you're not being hyperbolic it's absolutely possible. You can easily have a walkable/transit oriented city with lots of green space

Edit: it also doesn't even need to be that dense. Like most of my city's downtown is a lot of old houses rather than endless big apartment towers. The difference between my neighbourhood and American style suburbs is that I have multiple nice high streets within a ten minute walk and can get by without a car, while still living in a three bedroom house

Just look at any college campus and try to imagine if those tried to function without walking and transit. If anything, cities without walkable spaces aren't practical. And things like places to sit and tree coverage are essential parts of walkability, especially further south.

Exactly. It's crazy and sad that some people are so used to car centric suburbs that they can't even picture anything else

Alternatively, they live in or near poorly designed urban areas. There are definitely some in my local urban city center.
