I think it helps to have a nuanced opinion and make sure we don't spiral into an echo chamber. For my example, I've found that lefties are able to identify a lot of the right problems, it's just that they think gay space communism is the solution to it.
For instance, I completely agree that North American cities are really stupidly designed. The car-centric nature of them means you're stranded if your vehicle breaks down. The fact that you have to go into debt to buy this big stupid box to navigate your own city is ridiculous in the first place.
But when it comes to their solutions for this they can't separate their stupid idpol nonsense from it. My local city government keeps talking about "equitable solutions" to traffic and pedestrian fatalities. Typical "world ending, women most affected" type stuff.
Plus they keep droning on about high density housing which absolutely no one wants to live in. in their utopia we'd all live in depressing Soviet-style block apartments.
Only people who live in cities, and have no reason to go anywhere but other cities, are against price car ownership. Those people seem to lack the ability to understand just how far apart rural America is from each other. To them, a bus, train or (ironically) someone else's privately owned Uber can get them anywhere at pretty much any time. They don't seem to understand that even 30 miles would become insurmountable in rural America without your own vehicle.
Although, they probably do understand and just hate us.
There is a massive disconnect between city dwellers and us more rural folk. They refuse to understand our way of life. They just assume you can uber to the nearest place. When in reality the nearest grocery store is 40 miles from me. How the fuck am I supposed to get to it with government funded socialized transit in bum fuck nowhere?
I don't think anyone but the most extreme lefties want to outlaw private vehicle ownership. What I'm getting at with the walkability stuff is that it would be nice to be able to walk around my own neighborhood without being put in mortal danger from mongoloids in Dodge Chargers.
I understand your concern and worries. I'm just worried about city dwellers dictating policy for the entire State or Country. California for example passes emission laws. My State did not, but car manufactures build their cars to suit California laws because they are bigger than us. Then they use the adoption as a wedge in to passing laws mandating California laws at the Federal level.
Therefore my stance is any pro city policy in the largest cities in the State will inevitably be used to bully the smaller areas of population within the State to fall in line. There are other examples, not car related, that have played out in our history. I will admit I have a huge bias against cities.
I don't believe humans were meant to live in the conditions of the city. I think it breeds moral decay. It can work to degrees under different circumstances but it is not ideal. All it does is create more problems in the end, especially given the changing makeup of the population, like worrying about mongoloids in dodge chargers running you down.
speaking of emission laws, ever wonder why pickups all of a sudden got so big and boxy a decade or two ago?
emission laws
Funny enough this is a wonderful example of the kind of thing that the Interstate Commerce Clause is supposed to prevent.
If it were ever enforced honestly CA would have to abolish hundreds of state laws.
Perfect example...look at the voting habits of Illinois. One city dictates the direction for the entire state. Anything outside Chicago and the collar counties are blue, the rest of the state is red.
Cities have pros and cons like anything else. I do plan to divest myself from city life, but the time frame is probably 10 years. The things it offers are starting to get worse while the problems are amplified.
It would be easier to leave if I didn't own property or have a family. In the meantime I do think there are ways to improve but I don't trust city government to implement anything correctly.
I think that issue is more of a mongoloid problem than a Dodge Charger problem, though.
Dodge Chargers are like pitbulls. Only the worst demographics go for them.
That has more to do with crime than car ownership now doesn't it?
It has to do with there being zero pedestrian infrastructure.
They want to outlaw it by strangling it to death with ridiculous burdensome regulation.
What you're getting at is you're a hyperbolic twatwaffle.
What a productive and intelligent thing to say.
Urban faggots don't lack the ability to understand, they actively despise anyone in "flyover states".
