This poster makes a good point (in a sea of lunacy) that "muh climate change" fags are always the ones taking private jets everywhere and flying more than the average person does. But then I'm willing to bet this person would never bring up how much holy high priest Jason Slaughter flies.Rishi, a man who commited to banning gas cars for "muh climate", is apparently a "climate change denier":
I do credit Culdesac for revealing exactly why developments like these aren't the answer.
I also give them credit for actually building their dream community instead of running away and bitching (e.g. Jason) or trying to change other people's nice communities into their personal utopias without the consent of the people who live there (e.g. LTNs).
Nah, if the food and service are good it'll do fine.
I wish apartment communities could build to who they want to build. Until the laws changed in 1988, you could have adults-only apartment complexes (though 55+ communities can still be built).
I bolded the important part. Not only is Phoenix hot, but like every major city, it has crime. The locks on my car with AIR CONDITIONING aren't fool proof, but they'll buy me time to walk out of the apartment with my revolver and load him up with 120 or 158 grains of 38 special hollow point.
Much as they try, they can't balance all the woke priorities of intersectionalism, class warfare sensitivity, or hell sometimes even climate sperging. Their top priority is hating on cars first and foremost.
What's that people say about a forum of people ironically being something? That eventually the only people in that forum are actually that thing?
Small towns
I might be way off the mark, but maybe what you're describing is like a version of Poe's law? It's kind of like atheists who worship satan ironically as a way to be edgy but later find themselves in the company of other people who unironically believe in occultism and the supernatural.
it's usually waved around against people who say they're only "ironically racist" or some shit, but there's some truth to it
they're missing out, you get plastered drunk in the big city and you might end up dead or worse, but in a small town with one bar you can have all SORTS of batshit drunk experiences without hardly dying at all
When an urbanist complains about housing in walkable areas being expensive as proof that there aren't enough of them, they're only ever thinking about a handful of rich places like the Chicago Loop, San Francisco, and Manhattan. It's the equivalent of claiming that houses in single family neighborhoods all cost millions of dollars and citing Beverly Hills, Jupiter Island, and the Hamptons as examples.
They don't seem to realise it's always a balance between convenience (plentiful amenities), cost and transport. I have yet to visit somewhere with all three. More than half a dozen coffee shops, good transport options making car ownership redundant, walkable and also safe and cheap?
Notch lives in the car-dependent hellhole called Los Angeles and is therefore a cart-brain:
Japan, Ok, maybe not cheap. But you know what they don't have... neighbors.
Minecraft worlds are an elytra-centric hellscape. Think of how expensive it is to even get an elytra in the first place. They're not even renewable! Then you have to constantly repair your elytra. Then you constantly have to use up firework rockets to even fly them. Both of those things require a lot of resources or grinding, which only rich players can afford, making the elytra inaccessible to poor working-class players. Then they're pretty dangerous to fly! One wrong move and you might end up hitting a wall, or worse, falling in lava. That's why every elytra-brain has to wear max-enchanted Netherite armor. Elytra-dependent infrastructure has been the largest social engineering disaster of the 1.9 update. Many players feel like they have to get an elytra to get around everywhere, when the truth is that anti-minecart policies and excuses like "I'm lazy" result in the unwalkable sprawl that plague many worlds today. We need to build things closer together and make things walkable again. Some worlds like 2b2t are too far gone, but join my server today and we can kickstart the urbanist revolution in Minecraft!
Japan has the advantage of being on a island and hating the idea of immigration. Things just work there. In a way it reminds me of Utah; a shared common culture, terrain that limits how many people that can move in, etc. It's easier to keep the peace when everyone agrees niggery equals a jail cell.
