As usual, he’s rigbt. Cars hate being in cities. City driving is the worst for them. They’re too big and they’re barely faster than walking.
Cars don’t belong in cities just like I don’t belong in cities.
Cities can be wonderful. And the fewer cars there, the better.
Cities are not really designed for people more than two standard deviations from the mean in height
Nothing in the built environment is, city or country... That's the nature is being an outlier
Yeah 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.
Ok, then you're not a city guy. I don't get why self-proclaimed non-city people come on topics that mostly matter for people in cities.
Because if we make cities better less countryside will be plowed under for something we both hate: Suburbs.
Just like how despite liking cars I want more mass transit because that means fewer people on the roads, making driving better for me.
Ah, sorry, I think I clocked you as one of those anti-urbanism shitheads that comes in here sometimes and says stupid shit. Never mind, we're in agreement here, carry on.👍
