I mean, I honestly don’t understand why anyone made an entire community with the focus of hating cars. I made one comment about why trains cannot replace cars and oh man the response I get from angry car haters is just so… bewildering.
Edit: I don’t mean to offend anyone. I respect your right to hold those beliefs.
It’s more of a “fuck car dependent infrastructure” thing. In America it’s basically impossible to live without a car in most places. We don’t need to live this way and we should have the option to walk, bike, bus, train, etc as well as drive.
Try walking to the grocery store in a suburb and you’ll quickly get sick of walking through big empty parking lots and along roads without sidewalks as cars whip past. I wouldn’t even try biking since drivers will run you off the road. If there even is a bus it’ll run every 2 hours and be 15 minutes late. And there is no train because we tore up the rail system that built this country to make auto company owners even richer
I’m living in Dublin and even here folks from mainland Europe complain about the lack of non-car related infrastructure, but friends of ours from Indiana absolutely loved being able to get around for the most part without a car. They repeatedly mentioned things like sidewalks just not existing in many places, which seems crazy to me, everywhere I’ve lived has at least been pedestrian friendly enough.
