I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

Cars rule but are energy intensive. The solution is obvious - no one should be allowed to have one except me.

Thanks for reading my post!

It's a strange symptom of the American disease that living in a car is such a commonplace experience. We have Walmart parking lots instead of favelas. Invisible slums that leak oil full of people that can be conveniently ignored. Our acceptance of this misery is an indictment and the sentence is yet to be served.

What's the story with Walmart? I'm a New Zealander, but I was also homeless in Canada for a short while where I made use of this. My understanding is, it's in their company policy to allow people to sleep in their cars on their property?

cars are good. i dont want to make multiple grocery trips a week or carry everything in the heat/public transit, and all the good restaurants are several cities over where i live. yes high speed rail could help that but it'd still be a schlep, my friend in dc had to walk an hour to the bus to go to the train station every day

i'd like it if dead mall parking lots were dug up for green space though

bikes suck and being sweaty wherever you go is gross

drat look at this sad sack of poo poo who lives several cities from a good restaurant. Dead mall parking lots and dead cities and dead people who were taken in the prime of life by a moment of distraction are all a direct result of car culture and car culture is a direct result of Americans and their "I want to never be inconvenienced and gently caress the long term impacts and all other people."

Don't say you'd like more green spaces. You got what you want. gently caress you.

Best car is a Porsche Boxster/Cayman 981. It's safe, small, practical, and efficient. A real people's car for those without a (decadent) family.

I think they are starting to change it but in LA rail lines has no priority at street lights, so you literally have lumbering 3-4 car trains starting and stopping every few blocks.

Also, Boxsters as with all sports cars need to be automatic. There is no other way to drive them.

there was a cool article a few years ago in vice specifically about the electric humvee but also about the growing size of cars in general, the impact of it and the marketing behind it. they talked to some weird frnehc marketing guy going on about how people buy them because theyre scared of the world, of criminals, of people literally thinking theyre small dicked losers. i dont see it ever changingm, outside of some kind of world shattering singularity. im paste a bunch of it

also in the twin cities like a previous poster, on the minneapolis / st paul border, but my parents are in a suburb that borders st paul

10 minutes by car

80 MINUTES and THREE BUSES by public transit. also you have to walk 1.5 miles in between

this is the light rail map, green and blue is current, rest is planned by 2030. I'm right by the center prospect park station on the green line, and they are in Roseville. If you need to go to the suburbs (god help you) you are hosed without a car. and they are in the closest one.

Also I have a 70 pound dog I need to transport

I drive so little I got one of those pay by the mile insurance plans. like 2000 miles/year.
