[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only reason why urbanists have become influential is because their message supports monied interests. There is no other reason. It is certainly not because it is popular nor is it about "racial justice"

Vast majority of Americans prefer not only the exurban to the urban lifestyle, including vast majority of Blacks. Even more hilarious, half of all people that live in urban areas prefer to leave for the exurbs.

These people and their agenda are very and deeply unpopular and thank god that the pandemic is likely to bury them.

Then the republicans who prefer drivable communities should pay the full costs to live there rather than depend on the subsidies from the urban dwellers.[/quote]
They do and then some. You don’t seem to know how subdivisions are built. [/quote]

I don't think you understand the externalities - pollution, middle east military intervention, environmental degradation of arable land and factoring those costs into the equation.[/quote]
I don’t think you understand where govt revenue is generated to pay for transit subsidies. SFHs in subdivisions are the cash cow that pays for everything. Who do you think pays for your subsidized services? You never wondered where capital budgets come from and why they are separated from operating budgets? Which budget gets cut first? Who is subsidizing who exactly?[/quote]
