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

You’d think pubic transport on Hawaii would be impeccable but I’ve no idea if it is.

It’s a total disaster, and not for a lack of investment.

They started planning that single 20 mile long rail line in 2006 and they now expect it to be finished in 2031. The original budget was $2.5 billion and it is now over $12 billion. They’ve also made stupid mistakes like ordering trains that are too heavy for the tracks and have wheels that are the wrong size:

In December 2020, HART discovered early wear on the track crossings, or "frogs". It was later determined that the trains' wheel flanges were approximately one-half inch (13 mm) narrower at the frogs, thus affecting the driverless trains' ability to safely navigate certain track crossings at the speeds needed to operate on schedule. During investigation, subpar welding and sandblasting-inducted cracks were also discovered.

On a funny note, they also spent $200k on a terrible video game (archive) to promote it:

I'm willing to move far and beyond if there's literally anywhere that is better. For me, it involves gathering a lot of money, moving to a new country, learning a new language and culture, finding new friends and family, finding a new job and giving up everything I have here where I've born and raised. I can't do that on a whim.

Nothing but excuses. I dropped everything and moved to Asia after getting a job offer shortly after I graduated college. My employer payed for my ticket and set me up in the school dorms. All I had on me was literally a suitcase of clothes, my laptop, and $700 usd. There are expat communities so if you don't want to learn a new language and culture you can just hang out with them. If you do want to learn the local language and culture there are language exchanges to make local friends. I was able to save a lot working abroad and if I miss home I can always move back when my contract ends.

The fundamental issue these neo urban planning types hit is population density. Contrary to what they think most people don't want to live in commie block pods so they are willing to put up with cars if it means being able to live in a house or a less crowded apartment. Basically any one of their solutions would just be making everyone live in 2-4 mile bubbles centered on a large set of commie block pod houses with businesses around and then maybe train transport between theses centers which would quickly become crowded and miserable.

They don't understand people in general.

Everyone wants to live better. That's why they move to other countries, other states, want to earn more money, etc.

The problem is we don't have unlimited money and have to make trade-offs to achieve what we value. If times get tough, we have to make cutbacks, whether adjusting the thermostat or cutting back on going out to eat, etc.

For other things, it's whether we want to spend more or less time commuting as to what our day-to-day life is. Some people like having a yard. Others view as a needless hassle. There are people who probably like the idea of living in a commie block, or an apartment tower. There's a residential tower downtown that was completed a few years ago (quite ugly, really) that's 60 stories tall. To me, that sounds like a living nightmare, even if I had that sort of money.

Finally, we spend our money different ways and pursue different luxuries. For most of us, it might be something like deciding between whether to invest in better food and cooking, a collection of imported anime figurines, or a cooler entertainment setup. More avenues are opened up to you if you were richer (and there your main limitation is time), but you're still putting money toward what you want (such as, say, if you had a pilots license and a small airplane, while your car was a bit more modest).

Reading all this, it just makes me realize that all these fuck cars people are terminal college students. College was the best days of their life of walking around and living in a place full of people they wanted to interact with and not have to worry about shit. So they try to cling on to those halcyon days and convert the rest of their lives back to it. Just look at them, they are all laptop class parasites who do nothing and are nothing living dull lives without any meaning, so they think they can recreate the spark of life they had instead of growing up and moving on. Also they are total fagots and should get Canadian Healthcare.

This is proof of what we already knew: They just want to vandalize cars even if it hasn't done anything illegal like parking in a bike lane.

I think you've 100% hit it on the head; the perfect life is college life for these perpetual babies (which means college life is fucked up in many ways but that's another post)

Would I LIKE to be so rich everything I want to do is right within walking distance of where I am? Sure, but that would be Musk-levels of money because what I want to do is incompatible with anyone else being nearby, except for the things where I want others to be around.

Not me, I would want to live away from other people, at the very least have a large yard. That would be my main base of operations, at least--we'll save the "private multi-room suite on top level of swanky hotel, which I also own" for the vacation home.

I think that "I wish was in college again" line of thinking, though, is why they also seem to lack empathy. Obviously, the true "goyim should eat bugs and be happy about it" believers are there but the academic bubble tends to block out the masses from your view.

That doesn't mean you have to like them or cater their views or even be particularly good with people, but they do lack awareness of the wider way humanity works and works to achieve their goals.

I never want to hear urbanists complain about car subsidies or free parking again after Jason uncritically endorses the Netherlands letting people use transit for free.


source (a)

Remember, subsidies are only bad if it's for cars. Traffic deaths are only bad if they come from cars. Etc. Rules for thee and all that. Mind you, not even several hours later he then complained about "cheap and plentiful" street parking.

Jason doesn't talk about AI much, but when he does he makes sure to tell you they're racist.


source (a)

I don't know what he means by "I have worked with artificial intelligence tech", that could be anything from babby's first Tensorflow Python program to working at a company like OpenAI. This is likely Jason claiming credentials or experience he doesn't have yet again.

---

Jason complains about Youtube comments yet again.



source (a)

He doesn't want to moderate his comments.



And wants to disable his comments.


source (a)

But he won't because people will get mad at him?


source (a)

It's funny how Jason is always this "I don't care what you think" persona but when it comes to turning comments off suddenly he cares how people will react.

Of course, there's a real reason he isn't disabling comments, a fediposter already beat me to it:

---

Jason wants to move to Berlin if it implements a large car-free area.


source (a)

Too bad Jason doesn't do any research whatsoever (or this Brent Toderian think tank hack for that matter), because the article is from January of this year. It's about a petition that would either be accepted or rejected by the Berlin Senate early this year if they got enough signatures (50,000). They got their 50,000 signatures but unfortunately, it was rejected (by dang dirty rotten carbrains no doubt):


source (a)

So if it's rejected then the petition needs 175,000 signatures and then at that point it will go directly on to the ballot in 2023. I couldn't find how many signatures the petition has now, most of the articles are from before it was rejected by the Senate.

I don't think with his "owning huge swaths of public space at a discount" comment he understands how public infrastructure works.

And even if he was remotely right, if you want to talk about huge swaths of public space you can't use, he should complain about K-12 schools.

 

[Argrabius]

I wish they would just do what the old school cults always did and make a commune in the middle of nowhere, unfortunately urbanists are a mixture of slacktivists/children and won’t do it. Not that Jason would approve of it since if you are not shoving your ideological moral superiority down everyone’s throat then what is the point.

I guess he doesn't realize what his 75% tax rate actually goes towards. I imagine he just assumes it's all for Ukraine and migrants. Watch for this type of gaslighting as Europe's social safety nets continue to fail in response to demographic pressures. They'll brazenly take them away from you, then when you ask 'what gives?' they'll roll their eyes at you and call you entitled and asking for a handout. It's little coincidence they're sourcing your replacements from countries that consider plumbing and electricity to be magic from the gods.

Also based youtube. Forcing creators to suffer the slings and arrows of its 85 IQ commenters else you lose favor with the Divine Algorithm. It would be unfathomably based if they did it on purpose.

Heard a great argument on German cyclist twitter today: Cyclists not following the rules of the road is just because we lack cycling infrastructure and too few cyclists out there to put peer pressure on each other so they all ride like dicks.
Yeah, he was serious.
I hate these people.

I've heard that too, and it's such a terrible argument because it implies that both that terrorism is okay if you use to achieve your goals and that they'll never stop being dicks, because when has cycling infrastructure ever been "enough"? There's always some excuse:

- It doesn't take me where I want to go.
- There are pedestrians on it.
- I have to stop for cars sometimes.
- Grade-separated infrastructure benefits cars, reeee.

Blocking comments probably negatively affects the algorithm, but he also complains about how he can't be bothered to prune comments himself. Seems like "hiring" a janny off /r/fuckcars to moderate for free would be a pretty easy task.

cull de sac; e.g. cut off the balls. But nice, that's exactly what I want to see, and hell, good luck to them, I want it to succeed, then people who want it can go live there, and I'll continue to commute to work in a HEMTT M977

actually it is Ass of the Bag, but them being Farinelli works too.

Oh but they do use them. They're basically a supermarket for perverts.

yeah tolkien hated english borrowing frogwords for things we had perfectly working anglo-saxon so he named his hero "baggins" of "bag end" which is just anglo-sexy for "cul de sac".

Anyway I found a mostly-car free utopia for these fags: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rikers_Island (searching world's largest prison kept bringing up Australia lol)

The number of ballsuckers who would do it for free has to be off the fucking charts, but I'm sure this fag knows that he'd end up with weirdos and trannies doing it and it would explode all over his face (which he might enjoy in private, but this is income).

 

[WelperHelper99]

I've been reading this thread well before I came to the farms; people like Not Just Bikes are actually autistic. I am talking stacking lego blocks and dragged in front of a psychologist for a comprehensive test autistic. Literally "Choo Choo Train good, cars bad", despite cars being the Chad mode of transport and conquering every part of the planet, including the arctic. The man left the states to live in a country that now hates farming, a nessisity to life. These people are something else.

I will give him that he's correct about self-driving cars and actually gives a good reason, but we all know from the response to CGP Grey's video that urbanists hate self-driving cars for being cars first and foremost.
