    It’s awesome you didn’t provide a single example about why you prefer unwalkable cities

      I didn’t find it easier. I didn’t like summer commutes and being hot. I didn’t like dealing with other people on public transportation. I prefer my 10 minute drive to my local store in AC with my music in my quite car.

        In other words, you’re antisocial and quite possibly narcisistic. Yeah, I don’t think you’re the kind of person cities should cater to.

          Nope. I have a loving family, am married, have a kid who is in soccer, dance, etc. we have some other parent friends. Just had a nice DnD night and hit up the recent local adventures league.

          I’ve also spent nearly 90k converting my roof to solar, buying a PHEV, installing a heat pump and fully offloading my net usage. I ripped up my grass put in clover, planted wildflower, and spend hundreds of hours and dollars beekeeping. You can fuck right off with your little narrow judgments. I’ve likely done more than you’ll ever do to reduce my consumption. Outside of giving up a car.

          You have invented an entire persona and story because I have stated how a large population feels about vehicles and living more rural. You have invented some evil character on a paragraph. It’s insane and counterproductive.

            If you enjoy rurality so much, simply fuck off to nowhere - emptyville. Why are you even taking part in a discussion about cities?

              More suburban light, but yeah I did.

              As for why I’m here, 🤷‍♂️ I thought this place was about conversation. I stated a common preference and prefer a small city and driving. You all lost your mind at the audacity of me expressing that option. Being .ml a ban is probably next 🤷‍♂️.

              It’s insane you are attacking me, someone who uses less resources than most of the people in US or EU, and you are screaming at me to fuck off because I have a preference for a vehicle. It’s this insane all of nothing attitude that is 100% incompatible with democratic systems. Jesus Christ my man, you are screaming at a guy you 75% agree with.

              If you order food Uber eats, take an Uber to get items. Also request fixing of your dwelling and access to get your groceries. You’re still just as depended. Work as an engineer for city electric company. 90% of thee comments about being car free. Yet people still use them to get them services.

              Blah blah blah, I’ll ignore this guy using less resources than me and pretend I’m not some ass arguing on the Internet.

          Nice response and showing your maturity. How about folks who grew up small town or rural and that’s what they know? How about people who grew up in small towns with not much access to updated structure? You’re being selfish and comparing someone who only stated they preferred smaller areas. You respond back claiming narcissism and anti-social. Stop being a raging dick about losing your ass on a conversation. Every response is you taking it personal like you’re “God” himself.
