    Cars ruin cities. There’s more we can do to make cities better but that’s the big one

      I mean, do you think cars aren’t a thing in rural areas or something? You think us country bumpkins are riding our horses around?

        Rural areas don’t have the same density of cars that a lot of urban areas do, so a lot of the problem of high density traffic just don’t apply.
        It’s like saying that rural areas also have people, so it’s not like urban areas have any unique people based problems.

        My grocery store is on the intersection of two five lane roads that are busy all day every day. The crosswalks are about a 20 minute walk apart.

        There’s enough space out there it’s not an issue. Cars are a rural technology we bulldozed half the city to makebroom for and then complained about not enough parking and too much traffic

      A lot of things that people cite as benefits of small old towns are just benefits of not requiring massive amounts of parking and huge roads.
