No.. the entire civilized world

Nah, I've lived in two places now where walking or cycling to get your groceries (or, gasp, just having them delivered) is way nicer. Because it sucks to drive and the store is just around the corner.

Y'all just don't have a clue what you're missing.

You do realize people live outside of dense cities right?

Talk about not having a clue lol

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This isn't about rural areas. Obviously no one's expecting people on farms to go walk to a nearby store. But most people aren't on farms.

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m not talking about farms, I’m talking about suburbs where most people do live.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then I go back to my previous statement because you've clearly never seen a nice little dutch suburb :)

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’ve seen plenty of them. You’ve clearly never seen and/or can’t comprehend how spread out many countries are.

You do know that much of the US was built on the rail network and plenty of cities had transit systems that were the envy of the world until they decided against those in favor of the car and bulldozed city centers for parking? You're making it seem like this is impossible when it used to be the standard.

[–] Redrum714@lemm.ee -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And cars are still exponentially more convenient than back then. So yea the chances of people willfully going back to that is practically impossible.

... In the US.

(And it's not because it wouldn't work ;))

If you think that’s just the US you are completely oblivious to the world around you.

[–] reev@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not just the US. But if think the rest of the world is as disinterested in making a change as you are, you'd (thankfully) also be very wrong.

Most people live in cities.
