[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is full American idiocy on display. And not only that, but doubling down on it too.

American car culture sucks ass, and so does American urban planning.  [/quote]

Traditional American urban planning absolutely does not suck it is thw best part of America. The end result of Urbanist lunacy promoted by YIMBYs and biker bros is everyone living tiny expensive Soviet style apartments towers. Don’t ruin the suburbs you don’t even live in with mixed used 24 hour bars (in residential neighborhoods) and high density apartments. [/quote]

Roflmao.

Clealry you haven't traveled much.  You know who has great urban planning? A country like Japan, for example. Driving is minimized. Almost every town and city has access to a train station where you can get on affordable trains to go virtually anywhere.  You have local markets in almost every town where you can shop by biking to it.

US car centric culture sucks so much ass. Americans now shell out $40, 50, 60, 70k every 5-10 years for a new car. They pay $1-3k per year to insure it. Then they have to pay all of the money to maintain them and for gas.  And Americans wonder why they retire poor and broke.  The US' shiiit poor urban planning is a big reason. Americans are forced to drive everywhere in cars they can't really afford. People are now dumping $200, 300, and 500k+ into worthless cars that go to $0 over the course of a lifetime of ownership.  US urban planning BLOWS.[/quote]
