No its because those areas are overpopulated and ran out of space to build affordable housing

I live in London. Its cheaper for me to drive, I like cars too.

People wanting to leave there is a big part of why it's overpopulated, no?

There are different ways to conquer an enemy. The problem aren’t the vehicles. The problem is a lack of space, traffic directions, parking etc.

That’s your cities fault for planting multiple 4x12 concrete blocks of dirt rather opening up the road for traffic.

A ton of people are moving to Houston yet the cost of living has not skyrocketed in the same way. You can still buy a home in Houston for relatively cheap and find apartments for less than 1000

There are alotta cities, especially here in the US that are forcibly making the city life cramped by turning 2 lane roads into 1 lane roads.

We don't need new roads for traffic.

The neighborhoods like the one I posted have big and small stores, restaurants, gyms, banks, schools, etc. People just walk.

It's lit!

US city planning prioritizing cars over walking is one of the causes for high obesity I'd reckon

I agree

This city was built with minor vehicles in mind. My city however is downsizing to emulate this. As much as I value city development, the politics, lies and racketeering that gets to this point is evil. The whole sustainability doctrine is a fad. Trust me I love this stuff and admire it but the bad outweighs the good.

Transitioning away from car centric infrastructure isn’t the same as outright banning cars man

Rt tbh. Add in lime scooters and bikes too.

Cars are a lot of work n $

This is assuming ur in and wanna stay in the city though

U broke

This is just a waste of space

All the color you see is car parking

Imagine it being developed into apartments, mixed use, cultural centers, schools, the whole lot

That moment when wasting money is cool 😎😎😎😎 really owned us

We don't need to imagine, we just need to look in the past

Detroit before car-centric culture and racial urban planning. Most of what was demolished consisted of the majority of Detroit's black community

Facts and not facts simultaneously. Very context dependent.

I live in a super small city. Traffic is very rarely rough. You can get through majority of the city in under 10-15 minutes driving. Public transit takes significantly longer to get places. If I rode the bus from where I currently live to the mall it would take me about 30-40 mins. There is a trail I can walk that would get me there in 20. Moped would be about 3 mins, car would be about 10 because of traffic.

With that being said. Long public transit rides to just vibe >>> as a kid it was fun to do it local, as an adult I would only do it out of town.

So because the city was built primarily around motor traffic, it’s more efficient to drive around right?

What if it was built to accommodate foot traffic before motor traffic?

I have no problem walking places tbh. I would probably prefer that.safety is the main factor in that regard and as of right now streets ain’t safe round here lol

If somewhere you want food from is even 3 miles away you aren’t walking 6 miles total for a single meal

agreed, more opportunities to get these fits off.

Even for travelling outside of cities, public transport is still better
High speed rail is so good in countries that have incorporated it in large quantities(Western Europe for example)that it actually bankrupt the national airlines in Italy
