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.
No, I said there should be more pedestrian infrastructure which would save lives then you got really defensive. Like a woman.
The opposite, actually. I presented a workable solution for your pedestrian infrastructure quandary. You, meanwhile, keep queefing "shouldas" and "muh saved lives" like a vagina. It's the same tiring rhetoric from all emotional leftoids.
But I understand you don't like it because it personally affects you. How about we remove two lanes off each road for a wider sidewalk? It'll make driving more miserable than it already is, but think of the walkability! We could even add bike lanes with all the extra space.
Another solution would be to imminent-domain part of your land for a sidewalk easement. It'll lower your property value and destroy your landscaping, on top of nonstop construction noise, but that's a small price to pay for walkability.
No, you didn't. You suggested I get rid of two of my cars, which does not in fact improve infrastructure. You truly are a "hallucinatory being" if you think your nonsense is a solution to anything.
You have the boomer "more lanes = better roads" mindset.
Aside from your histrionic (woman-like, even) dramatization of events, I would be fine giving up a few feet for a sidewalk being added in front of my house. Construction lasts a few weeks, I can deal with that.
I also said "one car per household", meaning everyone gets rid of their excess vehicles. But of course, like a woman, you only see the part that affects you.
As opposed to what, waiting hours at a traffic light on a two-lane road? I'm genuinely curious what your solution is, other than "ride public transport with dindus".
"Few feet"? Try three yards, minimum, for a truly walkable sidewalk, along with lamp posts and power lines/transformers dotted throughout to power them.
"Few weeks"? How naive. Try a few months, because the government is perpetually behind schedule. Spoken like a typical NIMBY that never actually had construction done in front of their house.
Oh, and you can't park on the street or on your driveway during construction, so you'll have to park a half-mile away during your street's phase of construction, along with the rest of your neighbors. Have fun!
Now everyone has one car. Whoops, infrastructure still sucks. Great solution though.
Ok, nine feet. Seems like splitting hairs to me.
Everyone has had construction in their neighborhood. I'm actually the opposite of a nimby because I do in fact want this in my neighborhood.
Where did the sidewalks touch you? Do you want to talk about it?
