minus-squarefutatorius@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·12 days agoCities can be wonderful. And the fewer cars there, the better.

minus-squaretamman2000@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·12 days agoNothing in the built environment is, city or country… That’s the nature is being an outlier
minus-squareBoomer Humor Doomergod@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·12 days agoYeah but in the countryside there’s far fewer things that are designed for humans at all, which makes me fit better there. And scale is just one reason I’m not a city guy.

Just like how despite liking cars I want more mass transit because that means fewer people on the roads, making driving better for me.
