That’s the problem with you guys. You never think about tomorrow.
Tell me, what happened during Jim Crow when they disarmed black people? In Germany when they disarmed the Jews? And now lefties still want to disarm the people. What happened to the Native Americans when millions of Europeans came in? And y’all still want to bring in millions of immigrants. I can go on, but those are the easiest examples I have.
I lived in Montreal for a decade, living near all the amenities I needed at a walking distance and I managed to do everything without owning a car. When I wanted to get out of town I rented one for the week-end.
Most people, even here on fuckcars, don’t actually hate cars. We just hate that society is built around them and to a large degree requires everyone to own one.
The whole point of the fuckcars movement is that we want public transit to be good enough that cars are not necessary. Yes, right now, in North America (with a few exceptions) you need a car, even if your city has public transit. And that’s awful.
Have you been to the country? No bus is going to take you to BFE. And even if they did, they would have to travel to multiple BFE all in diffrent directions.
There’s waaaay too much green out here for public transit to be a thing. Our schools had buses, and most of them weren’t full. But there were kids who had to get on the bus 2 hours before school because they were that far out there. And that wasn’t even the worst of em.
Edit: every friend I’ve had come over from Europe has been flabbergasted at how much free land we have. They genuinely don’t comprehend just how much land we have just being land.

What does any of that have to do with 15 minute cities?
Also, I guess I should ask before this gets too far… What do you think a 15 minute city is?
What do you think a ghetto is? A real ghetto?

I never felt locked in.
So, don’t fuck cars because they gave you the independence go where you wanted on yhe weekends?
Fuck cars being used as the prioritized mean of transportation above all else.

The amount of times I’ve been downvoted for saying how even with public transit you need a car to do anything out in the country makes me doubt you
