Not Just Bikes / r/fuckcars / Urbanists / New Urbanism / Car-Free / Anti-Car - People and grifters who hate personal transport, freedom, cars, roads, suburbs, and are obsessed with city planning and urban design

Still think most suburbs are a decent place to live in the US depending on what city its a suburb of and if it was largely established post war.
I hate the idea of suburbs and would ideally live in some net 0 utopia like the concept artwork for Alderaan, but I can't blame anyone for leaving the city.

High crime rates, everything is decaying and gross, still have to drive everywhere anyway, whereas a nice suburb is quiet, well kept and with all the amenities relatively close. If I woke up a millionaire tomorrow first thing I would do is move to the nice exurb, everyone can kiss my consumerist ass.
 
Nobody's paying $1000 for car insurance unless they live in California and have a DUI on their record. Give it up bong, like your daughter gave it up to the paki at the chippy and his friend in the bobbies
Can people in Britain even afford cars? Every time I see British people on TV they're either on the dole or they got some dead end gig at a run down fish and chips shop. $1000 a month could be full coverage but it could be that the person in question has rich parents, a decent used car is barely twice that in my area, or at least was before Cash for Clunkers and all this gas price nonsense.

Which, I might add, does literally nothing but screw over poor people even more than they were already.

that's why I might still argue urban clusters are probably the best option if you can still find them.
For those who don't know what they are, the US Census Bureau used to have a specific category for urbanized areas called clusters (which btw I'm willing to bet none of these urbanists on reddit and twitter know about) that had to meet three requirements
  • Have a population between 2,500 and 50,000
  • Have a minimum density of at least 1000 people per square mile
  • Was more then 1.5 to 2.5 miles* of rural land between another urban area. (they specifically call it jump distance but no one knows what the fuck that means)
So you could have small towns of 3000 people be defined as an urban area so long as the city limits where less then 3 sq. miles However a lot of them are disappearing either because the rural land required are being filled with new developments for the larger ones, or people are moving out of the smaller ones and they fail to reach the population or density requirements.
You can still find some if you look hard enough but its becoming few and far between.
 
I just want to laugh at reddit bugmen poorfags that can't afford a car, lack any talents in life, spend their welfare on video games and still complaint that life is just too expensive. I don't give a flying fuck if banning cars is viable or not, or even about the figureheads of the movement. Urbanite brainrot redditors who love the city because of faggotry and 90s sitcoms are where I get my laughs from.
 
What could he be buying from Ikea that is that small?

Man literally can't walk 20 minutes, is scared of riding his bike on the street, won't take the clearly available bus, and won't bike on the sidewalk. I'm sensing this is more of a him issue than a suburb issue,
NJB had a similar issue, where he walked from a hotel near Willowbrook Mall in Houston to another store down the road and bitched about everything...the trees weren't big enough for shade, there was no sidewalk from the hotel (tucked behind other businesses) to the street, road signs were too big(?!), right turn on red was allowed, there was parking lots in front of businesses, and of course, the whole "muh stroad" bullshit, which is their way of saying "no, you CAN'T have main thoroughfares".
 
If anyone here has read mein kampf you would be surprised to learn that adolf hitler of all people recognized that there was a conflict of interests between the city and countryside. He pointed out that young people leave the rural areas in search of jobs and the cities grind down these young people mind, body, and spirit through their sheer degenerate and detached way of living cities force people to live. His solution was that cities and countryside should work together in harmony, one cannot exist without the other, they are like organs in a body of a wider nation and both have problems that need to be addressed. Rural areas for their lack of opportunities and cities for having such a wide disparity between rich and poor. More infrastructure is good when it actually benefits the people, trains and highways both have a place in society and we shouldn't take an absolutist stance on abolishing one or the other. The people telling you to live in the pod or live in the shack are fucking gay and need to touch grass or live by their principles and get off the internet.

First time I've ever seen a reasonable centrist position preceded by, "If anyone here has read Mein Kampf..."

What the fuck is it with dedicated cyclists and being massive twats? Not even just the spandex crowd. Wonder what would happen if one of these fuckers who insists in biking sub 20 mph with a bunch of cars behind had somebody pass them and roll coal?

probably cry on reddit and pray to St. Greta for deliverance/revenge
 
The problem with the American line of thinking is that they believe that cities themselves are inherently dirty and dangerous. In non-shitholes, this is far from the case. (Singapore, Japan, Korea) The leaders of these cities are just incompotent retards that voters in the suburbs seem so keen on keeping in there. Inner city voting can be excused due poor quality and funding, but the fact that suburbanites willfully keep voting in the retards that keep ruining cities makes them just as much to blame for their debauchery. If you just move away from the problem, it doesn't fix it.


Japan is cleaner and safer place than any zoo in the West. This is the ultimate cope.
It's interesting the examples you picked as non shitholes are extremely homogenous, ethnically and culturally, relative to american cities. Really gets the noggin joggin.

You saying just vote city leaders out really shows your lack of understanding of how American cities operate. Beyond that you think the suburban people are responsible for this crap while giving the actual city dwellers a pass because of "poor quality and funding". What does that even mean? You are really coping hard on this one. :story:

Remember that Stonetoss is still right.
 
Why is it so hard for cyclists to drive next to sidewalk? When I was younger I used to do some stupid shit while cycling, but I never had any problems of getting run over by a close car. If anything, I had closer calls almost hitting a car when they were still and I had to jump out of my bike and move it. And I live in a city where most people drive like animals.
 
I think it stands as a testament to what a bunch of faggots these people are that they make me reconsider my own stances on walkability. You need to be a PETA-level prick to make someone consider switching sides out of spite. I only ever watched the Houston sucks video and that guy fucking lost me before a third through, and think it is, I was already on the same page as this faggot about urban planning. Fuck dem bitches, because of people like them normal people don't take this shit seriously.
 
This thread is about urbanists. The only people who legitamently hate cars is the subreddit. It's why OP is a gigantic faggot when he decided to group them all together. Also, just because I didn't address your defamatory remarks about being a racist doesn't mean I admitted to it. Don't be dense.
It's not about urbanists in general, those wouldn't be funny. It's specifically about the more car-hating and lulzy urbanists.
