We're fighting the war on car dependence.
Cars are fine but car dependance isn't, our cities shouldn't be built in a way that requires a car for everyday like.
Requiring that your citizens own a $10000 - $35000+ depreciating asset just to live life is a tragedy that lessens economic mobility and punishes your most vulnerable.
However, if you follow that train of thought, you'll often get to the point where you'd need to get rid of cars as we know them today.
If people weren't depending on them, fewer would have one. And if only few people have one (they are expensive, after all), why build roads just for them? Why all this costly infrastructure that would only benefit 5% of the population? Why use everyone's tax to fund them?
The fact that cars are built like today - basically comfort cages - is only because all this infrastructure exists. They're not used outside of that environment. So of people don't depend on it, they'd probably vanish in a couple of decades, at least outside of their respective niches.
We still need roads for buses and trucks. Basically nothing is produced locally any more
Recently saw something posted about how kids are actually cycling to school again in some parts of London where LTNs have been implemented. Reducing the number of cars makes it better for people.
Look up how the town Houten in the Netherlands is designed. A town designed for pedestrians and cyclists. Still accessible for cars and plenty of parking spaces and roads for them. And more than 5% of inhabitants have one. You don’t need to get rid of cars to make a city walkable and cyclable and not everyone wants to live in a dense almost car-free city like Tokyo.
Cars still suck even without the dependence. I live somewhere that very much isn't car dependant but there's still too many of them and they still make places miserable.
They are everywhere, and often park on the pavement which must be really difficult if you are trying to move about in a wheelchair and there are cars blocking everything. Public transport isn't much better as almost no where has level boarding here either so someone needs to come over with a fucking ramp - except they probably won't so you need to change at the next stop when someone wakes up and lets you off and then go back to the previous stop to get off where you actually wanted to.
InCARceration.
I work in hospice, traveling to patients homes. I'd be more than happy to work from home, but the logistics of getting dying bed ridden people to travel to me has been tricky.
Imagine how smooth your travels would be, if the 70% that could work from home or use public transport would do so.
You mean like during the COVID lockdown? It was amazing. I wish people learned more lessons from that time.
I did, now I resent management that tries to push us backwards and actively encourage my coworkers to push back.
We were ordered to go into the office today, some of us were (myself included) actively bringing it up in conversation and encouraged others not to turn up. None of us turned up.
You worked remotely with dying humans?
No. Theyre saying when everyone else was in lockdown, traveling was easier because no one else was on the road. Im also someone who cant work remote and i long for the days where a sprinkle of rain doesnt mean my 25 minute commute turns into an hour
...brainwashed by electromagnetic radiation? Do you really believe that statement?
I think you might have missed what community this is..
I almost did too, as this reads like the most sane /fuckcars post
Yeah I was getting ready to post some similar comments because it's just too close to the weird shit they post
I think they were talking about talk radio
It's another way to say "radio waves", so when people actually listened to the radio it was a true statement.
Now it's podcasts.
Which are still radiated at you through the ether ;)
Podcasts are just on demand talk radio.
Propaganda on the radio, radio uses electromagnetic radiation.
I live in Taipei. It is one of the most dense cities in the world.
We have an amazing subway system, but I still own a car. I also own a bicycle and a stand-up electric scooter.
I take whatever transportation is the most convenient. Sometimes it's the bus. Sometimes, it's the subway. Sometimes it's by car. My point is it's a city infrastructure, not the mode of transportation. If you vote for a government that cares about infrastructure, you will live in the city you want.
Why did I read this in Schwarzenegger’s voice?
Not if you don't live in the center of a very large city 🤷♂️.
This. I HATE cities. Crammed up against everyone else, smells, noises 🤮. I'm over 10 miles to the nearest grocery store and all these fuckcars weirdos will do some fucking mental gymnastics to explain a RURAL life without cars. I don't think a single one of them has been anywhere where there is actual forest between cities/towns. They live in a city with great public transit so that must be how it is everywhere, right?
