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.
By design, cash for clunkers got rid of a ton of usable used cars off the market. Cars do not need to be 40-50k+. They are only this way because of the Government and activists who want you to be reliable on a centralized service. They do this by pricing you out and forcing you onto their shitty socialized transit services.
I love my car, always have, always will. I drive a 08 that runs like new because I take care of it and the thing has taken me all over the country. I don't care about cities at all they can go fuck themselves. They suck anyways, I don't know why anyone with a brain would want to live in one. Especially in 2024.
Cities are bullies.
Just look at trucks. They have become status symbols because they are expensive, and they are big and expensive because of government mandated safety and economy. Meanwhile the Toyota Hilux Champ is a 3/4 ton pickup that will get 20+ MPG and costs less than a worn out Tabroma.
