  • america used to develop for density. Go read the book “Strong towns” to understand how. Technological development alone doesn’t explain the car-centric development. There was active lobbying and dismantling of alternative methods of construction and zoning just to support automobiles.

    Americans have been brainwashed into accepting there is no solution to a problem that was introduced by car makers in the 1960s. American cities were dense and had lots of alternate modes of transit before all of it was ripped out under the guise of technological “development” and “freedom”


  • oh this tired argument again!

    You don’t drive across the country daily do you? How long does it take to drive across the country? that’s irrelevant.

    the whole of zoning and design of US is bad.

    You can’t bring this up when the argument is how far is your local grocery store is to your house. Unless you drive cross country for your groceries!

    “Not everyone lives in dense urban areas or suburbs”

    Your argument is “that’s how it has always been and we have to solve around it” when the solution is to not to have it that way.

    the US is hopelessly into spread out development. There’s no solving your way out of having to drive 10 minutes to get groceries without substantial changes to mindset and zoning policies. It’s so absurd!

    if you can’t understand why it is important to have NASA of all people mention you by name, you’re naive, ignorant or just a child who thinks it’s cool to diss people for wanting recognition.

    Please stop being an edgelord for a moment and think about the humans in the situation.

    your holier than thou attitude only reeks of loneliness and ineptitude to put yourself in the shoes of others.
