No, that's not the way it works, and I'm tired of seeing posts made on Scored in favor of walkable cities, because if you accept them, you accept the rest of the WEF's rotten dogma. And I know I'm right, because I angered one tiny hat fellow trying to push it so much on my 3 year old account that every single thing I post gets -15 regardless of which board I post it on or when, often jumping back from a +20 or higher score. Either one no-life faggot with alts, or a Trooncord/IDF squadron leader. But I've abandoned that account (just as I'll abandon this one) because I know I've made them squirm.

All of it, every last piece of their doctrine, was highlighted in their Planned-Opolis video, which includes an early form of walkable cities. I have spent 10 years trying to alert people to this video and many continue to ignore it. This is from 2009/2010, and probably was being drawn up well before then.

Over the past few years, the WEF figured that walkable cities are the most sore point dividing the online right over bearing arms or eating meat, so are trying to bruteforce their way in and then forcefeed you the rest of their doctrine from there as a soft-sell. It's the same reason as to why a lot of social media accounts shill the "white room with a mattress and TV" minimalism lifestyle, to condition people into thinking living in small blank rooms with nothing in them is normal.

Anyway, the argument at hand.

Yes, some people have stopped using public transit because of the fact more and more "rowdy rebels" are riding it. But that's not even half of the picture.

Private transport took off at the end of WW2 due to a booming economy, convenience, and above all else, feelings of self-sufficiency.

Getting to work on a bus? Sure. Get up at 6:30 for the bus at 7, or oversleep and be forced to get the one at 8. (And that's if the bus doesn't break down or the service just gets flat-out cancelled, which is increasingly common these days).

After 10 stops, get to your destination at 8:50, then walk for 15 minutes so you clock in at 9:05. Do your business, then spend the last hour subconsciously planning your exit get on the bus home at 17:20 or whenever. Work hold you back? Too bad buddy. Diarrhea cause you to miss that bus? Oof, best carry some Pepto-Bismol around next time. Someone invite you to a party or other gathering? Best start learning the local bus routes or throw in the towel and call a taxi at the end of the night.

Or wake up at 7:30 with zero stress, have something to eat, get dressed and freshened up, start your car at 8:15, drive quietly for 30 minutes to reach work for 8:45, clock in at 9, have a productive day, go home at 17:00 on the bell, and have a few extra hours of leisure and exercise once you get home.
