    Yeah you’re right, who likes no pollution, no noise, strong communities and third places to bond with people, kids having public spaces to play in their neighborhoods, green, sustainability, healthy, active people that don’t sit in front of a wheel all day long… Who likes all that seriously?

      I get privacy, AC, and I get to go shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day, and I still live in a small neighborhood with a lovely park within walking distance.

      I’m fucking crazy right!!!

        There’s AC in public transport.

        Your privacy is of no concern to us, like you could claim you want more privacy, which you can achieve by commuting with a jet(people can stare at you through the car window) - that doesn’t mean the world has to cater to your unreasonable demands.

        The fact that there is a park in your neighborhood doesn’t mean anything, since the public spaces are simply not enough. We don’t have more green instead of this sea of tar, because some people like you don’t care about either the environment or the alienation of the communities or the health implications of car centric cities.

        The opposite of one trip every two weeks isn’t everyday, it’s once a week on a bike, I’m sure you can make this sacrifice since…yk I specifically explained how our world and lives are ruined from car centric cities. And if you are not willing to make this insurmountable sacrifice, you are just a lost cause and an enemy to green walkable vibrant cities and therefore to us.

        You are not fucking crazy, you are fucking toxic to comment in this place to begin with.

        Yes, you are. Also a liar.

        privacy

        How is that important in a commute?

        AC

        Busses and trains also have AC. If you’re walking or cycling, the wind will be more than enough to keep you cool.

        You can do the same in walkable neighborhoods, only the sane thing to do is to buy less more often. As a bonus, you’ll be healthier and your food will be fresher.

          I use trains and carry a loaded gun with me everywhere. Public transports I carry a 44 magnum concealed.

          Okay? I guess I’m a liar? What are you referencing if I might ask? I’m not sure where I’m lying here.

          privacy

          I didn’t have to hear you. I don’t have to touch you. I can blast tswift quite loudly and sing with my daughter as much as I want. I can also enjoy the quietness.

          Busses and trains also have AC. If you’re walking or cycling, the wind will be more than enough to keep you cool.

          🙄👌👍 I love it when the zealots start telling me how much I sweat. It’s giving insane deranged shit lol.

          You most certainly do not walk with a family sized trip. I fill a literal full size us grocery cart. Not a chance you are doing that walking without some insane system.

            You need to use ">" to quote someone.

            🙄👌👍 I love it when the zealots start telling me how much I sweat. It’s giving insane deranged shit lol.

            I suffer from severe hyperhidrosis, meaning I literally can’t stop sweating and sweat way more than the average person at any given temperature. Public transportation does just fine for me.

            I literally do. Maybe all that sitting around in a car has caused your muscles to atrophy.

            Food is fresher….so you like making unnecessary trips all the time regardless of how you get there. I do grocery trips once every three weeks. I also go on tons of camping and back packing trips and walk tons of miles. In short your argument is you rely on being in a neighborhood. How about folks who who grew up in smaller areas and want to be near family whom live there? Want them to pack up and leave and live in a tiny apartment?
