Get a job. You'll be able to afford a beater -like mine heh- pretty quickly with some hard work. Do you have to buy fuel and repairs? Sure. But it costs way less than constantly getting groceries that's prices can change on a dime when you miss the sale. Or just getting your bike stolen. Which happens a lot to you retards

An awful way to live holed up in an apartment building. The next step is they want people to stop having children and convert your already small 3 bedroom apartment into a studio since in their minds, your current home can house 5 more people or something like that.

In their ideal world, everyone lives in studio apartments. And then after that, maybe an efficiency.

Believe it or not, I don't want a apartment my entire life, I want a place that is mine without silly rules like you can't nail up a picture. I'd also like to do things with the other rooms, like a home theater, welding shit in the garage, etc.

Living in an apartment isn't that bad, it's what I've done most of my life. As long as you're in a nice area, have a terrace/balcony and a garage, and your building has a nice garden, it's actually very comfy. You do still want a car, since buying groceries is an annoying chore and you can drive to a good store to get actual produce instead of picking through spoiled factory tomatoes at the corner store, but a good apartment is comfortable, minimal maintenance, and makes it very easy to have a night life.

My apartment has three bedrooms, so I use one as the actual bedroom (one wall has a huge window, lovely view over the park from the bed), the tiny one as an office, and the medium one as a home theatre. I knocked down the wall between the kitchen and the common room and put up a bar instead, and then had the common room as a dining room with bookshelves and a chaise. Terrace has some patio furniture and an inflatable spa bath. It's a lovely apartment. Next to the garage is a workshop type area, you absolutely could weld in there if you wanted to. The basement storage is right next to it, it wouldn't be a lot of work to carry your welding gas and whatever over there. Yeah I love living in the countryside now, but city life isn't necessarily bad, it's just that these people insist on living it in an awful manner. You absolutely can hang up a picture if you want to, I've even hired contractors to knock down a wall. It's your apartment, you can do with it as you like.

I've always lived in good neighbourhoods, but even so you can't leave your bicycle outside and not expect it to be gone. I've never owned (and actively used) a bicycle for longer than a week. The only way it stays yours is if you bring it indoors, which is also why your smelly bicyclist coworkers always use carbon fibre competition bikes; it's because they're light enough to carry into the office. Not that they'd ever admit that. I've commuted with an escooter, it's actually alright. It's just nice to have a car for when it's raining, or snowing, or windy, or you just don't feel like risking your life crossing the tram tracks today.

The second most important reason for the housing crisis, behind immigration, is the lack of families. A country where everyone is married needs half the housing units of one where everyone is single. This also means that a single family neighborhood full of families can have equal or greater density than a multifamily neighborhood filled with single bugmen.
 
What kind of apartment let's you knock down a wall?
Why wouldn’t they? It probably raised the value quite a bit, and I had professionals doing it, so it was all proper. “How dare you use your own money to increase the value of our property!” said no one ever. I’ll probably not get the deposit back when I eventually move out, but so what? That’s basically just a moving in fee to keep out the poor, and they’ll just invent reasons to keep it anyway.

In the US, no large landlord allows modifications of any type to their property. The most you'll ever be allowed to do is hang a picture on the wall. Some small landlords might allow substantial changes, but that would be on a case by case basis and no tenant wants to invest in someone else's property when they could instead be saving up to buy their own.

Condominiums are owner-occupied "apartments" where building and common area maintenance is handled by an Home Owners Association/Condo Board that is elected by the residents and collects yearly dues from the residents. In condos, you're allowed to make nearly any interior modification, though exterior modifications are almost always disallowed. Unlike in rented apartments, people actually do renovate their condos because they're an asset, not a liability.

Nah, this is a rented apartment. We have the other type too, but most of the good apartments are for rent. Certainly there was no expectation of me to renovate, the company does that every couple years, but I really wanted to open the kitchen up and I wasn’t planning to move out any time soon, so doing it myself was worth it. I could probably have asked them to open the kitchen up next time they overhaul it, but that would have been a decade or so, they’d changed out the counters and appliances just before I moved in, and they would definitely have raised the rent so I’d still be paying for it. Instead I got it done perfectly and just as I wanted it.

Apparently all the carbrains died of covid because they refused to wear masks or get vaccinated:

Imagine believing those extremely fake deathbed confession stories. The terrible hospital protocol set for the wuhan coronavirus is what really killed many people in hospitals.
Also the mask and vaccines did nothing to stop the spread or lessen the impact, but what do you expect from a bunch of room temp IQ niggercattle on fuckcars.

He's got it exactly backwards, having people being dependent on the state is a way to control people. Case in point you can be denied certain services like taking the train in China because your social credit score is too low. How long until the train becomes a service you can get blacklisted from saying the wrong opinion and denied service.

With a car you can at least do majority of the maintenance yourself (while you still can or your car is old enough) and during the convoy protest other people had the ability to purchase fuel on the behalf of someone else. Provided we hope the situation never becomes that dire, but at least with a car it gives you more independence than the alternative.

To repeat what he said rephrased: "Authoritarians love state mandated public transport, because they can control who gets to ride the train/bus. It's also a great threat. The more you make people dependent on you in order to survive, the greater the threat. You can't take the train, you're fucked. You can't even work."

Calling buses "Mega SUVs" will make the carbrains love them:

Someone points out that no one is that stupid and they won't be tricked into riding terrible buses:

The last comment says the quiet part outloud:
This is why, as well as making transit a two star service, we also make driving a 0 or 1 star service.

OP thinks that Washington D.C., a city with an extensive subway system that was designed by a Frenchman who was inspired by the cities of his home country, is too car-centric for him:

The sad thing is that he's not wrong that Washington DC sucks and that's why he feels the way he does. Is he too dumb and/or emotionally immature to realize that having roads has nothing to do with feeling depressed, or is he actively suppressing it?

I have chosen to rename this "the bus". It is a "bus" that I don't have to wait out in the rain for and has no homeless fentanyl addicts on it. I am now riding "the bus".

Wow this renaming thing is fun!

This guy isn't going to do shit when push comes to shove. In his mind he thinks that saying "hey man" to some guy hopped up on fentanyl is going to stop him right in his tracks. Now normally I'm wouldn't shit on someone for attempting to do something noble, but this dumbass is offering suicidal advice to other dumbasses. He's telling other redditors to get into conflicts they're massively under equipped to deal with.

More likely what's going to happen is once he says "hey man" and starts his head shake the now pissed off assailant is going to vent his frustrations on the redditor and who is going to end up on the title of a Daily Mail article. To borrow a quote, "everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the face shived with a rusty screwdriver in the jugular".

It's funny that all the suggestions he gave weren't even relevant to keeping women safe, besides the one where he sacrifices himself as a human meat shield. But as he said it's to "feel" safe without actually making it safer. Actually you know what, no I take it back, while the angry dude is wailing on this redditor to a pulp it provides an excellent opportunity for the woman to escape. It's an excellent idea!
 
>women-only train cars will save us guys!

I foresee a few heckin' valid problems with that idea.

Suffer, you dumb fucking cityniggers. Now go demand the release of more violent felons and wonder why your streets aren't safe anymore.
I find it fascinating that they cannot get rid of their social dogmas. I am sure more people would use mass transit in a high trust society where you are not having to deal with hobos, diversity attacking and robbing you etc.
