Living in Houston has made me envious of those who live in walkable cities.

a lot of this website would love if that were the case

It's also the equivalent to "you will waste a tenth of your life in traffic, live in a soulless urban sprawl of copypasted houses, pollute the world and put everybody at risk and you will enjoy it"

Gives you more money for a house/apt too so who owns nothing in the end cause you can't hold onto a car forever like you can with property

especially in DC

Taking public transit in Toronto is a safety hazard honestly. Just bare f***ery all around.

unless you're super rich you're probably not owning in a major metropolitan area anyway

i support it but i don’t know if i trust certain people to have common decency these days

As a result of being built around cars… it’s not impossible to begin actually building up the urban centers of these cities regardless

The material base influences the cultural superstructure more than the opposite

Creating more social environments creates a socially inclined population

Creating an alienating environment created an alienated people

this is very true we have isolated ourselves heavily and gotten used to it in america

Precisely, and sometimes I wonder if this was a conscious decision made by people who profit off alienation

(Well developed)Public transport is faster anyways

People in the south prefer being spaced out. Not everybody wants to be bunched up into small ass living spaces.
People saying new york is well designed but paying 2500 a month for 400 sq feet

40 min drive to/from work with traffic turned into a 2 min drive to the train station and 25 min train ride to work. 6 min walk

I save so much on gas its beautiful

The same problems that prevent people from efficiently living in urban centers is the same problem that problem that prevents people from being afford to live in such spaces

And you’re generalizing the south, people love their community and want to partake in it no matter the place you live

I’d rather walk mane

Have fun driving 2h in traffic to go to work

Powerful

How is it oppressive

dumb as s***

Watchu know about this?

Whom
What

Yeah it's still f*** public transportation
