Let’s be honest, “rural America” actually means bedroom communities where people commute an hour or more to their job.

People lived just fine in rural areas for thousands of years without cars.

What people miss is that rural communities used to have meaningful town centers that people lived and worked in. They were just rural because they were small and far from a larger city. Cars are what enabled everyone to go live down nowhere roads and commute an hour to work.

Reduced automobile use will hurt the "I picked up my city life and moved it two hours into the hills and import everything I need" crowd. Those people have only existed en masse since the 1930s.

I don't know why it's so difficult for people to say something like this instead of smugly posting about how this is the city slicker thread.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:People lived just fine in rural areas for thousands of years without cars. Yeah but we're not in the 800s anymore. A highway is being constructed to give access to some of the most remote Bolivian villages. This will give people in some of the most remote parts of Bolivia access to things like a big hospital. Is this a project that should not be undertaken?

I don't think it's common for Bolivian villagers to commute four hours round trip to their job in La Paz every day. Americans believe that doing this is their god-given right and that the government should subsidize that right no matter the cost.

I don't think anyone's mad about hospitals being built in remote Bolivia, I think they're mad about car culture killing people and destroying the planet. You're making a guy up to argue at him.

Despite the fact that the American system of remote country estates for white people has only been a thing for seventy years or so, people are absolutely going to bankrupt themselves trying to keep that lifestyle going and I think that's insanely funny.

Lmao "a highway is being constructed to give access to some of the most remote Bolivian villages" "Whom this access benefits and the ultimate direction of the flow of ROI on this project will not be discussed, but you are still bad for questioning it."

There are people on the news every day for months here now crying about how it costs so much to fill their trucks that they can't buy potato chips anymore. It's awesome, I love it, it makes me happy to see these people suffer and I have zero moral compunctions about laughing at them.

Should cars be banned in other countries as well? Do you think they should be banned before these countries get the ability to industrialize?
