Some tard on Nextdoor "noticed a lot of farmland going unused" on his bike ride alongside XYZ highway, and, uh, why don't we just build more housing there? For the unhoused?

Well, the farmland is not unused, it BEING FARMED for all that hipster arugula salad you eat you fuck. If you're local, you know the arable land in the area is precious. This guy has got to be one of the college kids that comes here to shit up the place. Anyway after some pushback he mentioned rooftop gardens. And something about how much food goes to waste in America.

Anyway, there is no insult goofier than "carbrain" and I can't believe that's the best they got.

Reminds me of this Tweet I saw from some bugman from England. He is flying over farmland and saying how it's impossible that Britain has a housing crisis when there is all this land ready for any developments. Literally looking down from above either to or from some bugman trip and thinking he was super smart. These people have no actual concepts of agriculture or what actually feeds them. I know the "We get food from a grocery store" meme is said a lot but there has to be truth to it.

The commieblocks were built because World War II decimated most cities in the eastern bloc and they needed housing fast for millions of homeless people. So many of those commieblocks were put together in just a few weeks.

Also most small shops are shit. Many of them have character but I care less about that than the ability to get a variety of goods. The concept of having to buy from a greengrocer and then walk a block away to a butcher and then another to a baker is a shit idea. In the 15 minute city concept, add in a bunch of shitskins looking to sell you pirated movies, knockoff watches or looking to pick your pocket. In fact the whole concept of a fifteen minute city is just another way to inflict niggers on law abiding whites. The planners of this shit are going to be able to get around this and the r/fuckcars retards are just the useful idiots and commissars looking to inflict this on the rest of us.

I've said it many times before, but the modern big box store is a severely underrated modern marvel. There's points to be made about how they move into a town and run the small business out, but most of the ire is little more than Yurocucks and angsty American teens seething at everything American because the media told them to. If you'd told someone 100 years ago that there was a store where they could buy socks, screwdrivers, furniture, and a massive assortment of groceries all under the same roof, their heads would spin. It absolutely amazes me that Europeans thumb their nose at that concept in favor of a Paki-run bodega that charges them 3x for a bunch of moldy black bananas.

Such treasures from an exotic land that your tiny redneck brain could not even conceive. Such treasures as Clear Eyes and Dayquil are so beyond your comprehension, you silly little country bumpkin. Bet you wish you were paying $3000 a month to live in a shoebox just to enjoy such a bounty. Checkmate, carbrains!

We're hitting levels of cope that shouldn't even be possible.

Urbanists are dumb, but so is mindlessly bashing commieblocks just because the cold war propaganda you were raised with said they’re bad. They genuinely weren’t.

Quick quiz: which do you think is more efficient?
-On every 300 acre plot of land, you build a commie block, a supermarket, a hospital, a barcade, a dilation station, 5 different restaurants, and whatever else bugmen want in their 15 minute cities
OR
-Put a single family home on it, put all that crap in the nearby town, and have any extra employees commute

Just gonna post Edgar Friendly's speech:

Not even 100 years ago. The 1890s were the golden age of Department Stores and catalogues. Sure you couldn't get your groceries at these from what I understand, but everything else? If the department store had it you could buy it. It was literally one of the greatest innovations in the economic world for the average joe. Catalogues would be mailed out hundreds of miles away too. If you recieved one and marked down what you wanted to buy, sent the payment and list back in the mail, you'd get it as soon as possible via trains and mail runs.

The modern system of malls (May they rest in peace), big chain stores like Walmart or whatever, and online shopping are just an evolution of this system that was understood for a while. Obviously a lot has changed and a lot for the worse, but the concept is still the same. I do seriously recommend going to any of the surviving department store buildings that are still open if you ever get the chance, they're absolutely beuatiful buildings.

I know the "We get food from a grocery store" meme is said a lot but there has to be truth to it.

I've never seen an urbanist make a video on how farmers and food supply chain logistics are supposed to fit into their vision of a walkable utopia. Just proves that they don't think about them one bit.

I tried to do a little math using soybeans.
1lb of soybeans is about 2000 Calories, so let's go with 1lb/person/day.
A bushel is 60lbs. So 1 person needs 6 bushels/year.
Average yield is 50 bushels/acre. So 8.3 people per acre. Let's use 8.
1 acre is 43560 square feet, so 5445 square feet per person.
You're not going to 'urban farm' that much. And that's super efficient factory farming. Subsistence farming appears to be 0.5-10 acres per person.

I'm sure the next argument will be "what do you need 2000 calories a day bro? you work in an office, just accept a perpetual caloric deficit bro, you'll lose so much weight! Think of the poor pee-oh-sees in developing countries that don't even get that much!"

And that one guy trying to claim that a Hilux would just be sooo much better has no idea what he's talking about. That evul truck shown in the OP appears to be an F150. So let's do a little comparison of curb weight and dimensions

Specs for a 13th generation F150(produced 2014-2020):



Specs for an 8th Generation Toyota Hilux(produced 2015-present):


Note: You should probably use the crew cab dimensions as comparison here, since the 13th generation F150 appears to only come in a crew cab.

>just get a truck that's barely smaller and lighter than the truck you demonize every hour of every day, that'll fix everything bro

That was Kyle Kulinski and he is an obnoxious New Yorker wealthy suburb dweller.

They see them as Kulaks who will be stripped of their land and forced to farm collectively to support their useless asses in the cities.

Best case is they see them as vacation destinations in the form of “Dude Ranches”

Reminds me of WW1 or the Balkan War, it was one of those, where the Ottoman Military was so bad with rationing for a time they fed soldiers on purely olives to make up for the calories.

It's bizarre these people want us all to eat the same gruel every day while at the same time being the same people who unironically think white people have no food culture and thaat their food is all bland and tasteless.

Everyone should watch Clarksons Farm. These are the type of people who keep putting road blocks on the farmers to save the badgers and limit improvements to keep the place quiet. All the while the farmers suffer due to red tape from retards who've never worked a hard job.

Which goes for pretty much every problem a lot of them claim to care about. Housing crisis? Sure there's a lot of people and a lot of redtape is needed to make sure people aren't living in shitboxes, but the all the zoning laws and other legal bullshit are serious roadblocks to creating more housing. Of course these bugmen will point and say it is the wrong housing and that we need to cram everyone into apartments that are on par with prisons.

Mom and pop shops, your local butcher, small time farms that ethically treat their animals? Fucked over by government laws and regulations. I watched this documentary once on a guy who sold chicken and beef and shit where he let the animals live in open air pens, able to freely move, everything. Even slaughtered and did cuts himself by hand.

Problem? This wasn't sanitary according to government regulation and he basically had to jump through these weird hoops and technicalities that resulted in him doing a ton of stupid shit just to actually sell perfectly sanitary and treated meat.

 

[The Hardest R]

A lot of times regulation is intended to raise the bar for entry just high enough to be out of the reach of small business. Big business lobbies politicians because they want to be the only game in town and local businesses don’t play hardball like big businesses for various reasons. So regulation that is designed to be complex and/or expensive gets passed. I’ll also say that isn’t perfect and sometimes local mom n’ pop shops will pull shady shit. It’s not perfect but rarely are regulations done with good or altruistic intent.

Abso-fucking-lutely. Same shit with inheritance taxes too. Rich fucks skirt the laws because they make them and the rest of us suffer because that generational wealth or taxes and fees and all sorts of bullshit are things we can't avoid.

But you will never hear this people talking about these issues because they fucking love heavyhanded government doing everything under the sun to 'help' the public.

I hate the prevailing yet unspoken idea that housing people is the best use for any land.

What do those people actually do? I've said before—an acre of corn is a lot more productive and does a lot more good than an acre of subsidized apartment buildings, the people there are a net loss on society. Even if you have a few worthy people that contribute more than they take, they're totally washed out by the freeloaders and criminal scum in that same section.

Your local tard is trying to scream to everyone that he is proudly ignorant of what's actually involved in growing food, without actually saying he's proudly ignorant of what's actually involved in growing food.

But, let's pretend for a second that the fields he saw weren't being used to grow a crop, and instead were lying fallow. Even then, those fields are still being used for farming. Letting fields lay fallow to allow the soil to replenish is farming practice that's been in use for what, thousands of years? I remember reading about it back in elementary school, and this college kid doesn't know about fallowing?

I think you should encourage your local tard to attempt a rooftop garden. Trying to grow a plant and get food out of it will set him on a crash course with reality. Whether he succeeds or fails, him getting smacked around by reality should hopefully be entertaining for you.

Depending on where you live, having a sloped room means less chance your roof will collapse during a snow storm.

That and less chance of a leak.

I lol'd. Still I wonder if urbantards will ever realise their demands for safety will just increase safety tests for cars and increase their size and weight rather than the opposite. If they weren't so focused on pure fearmongering as their one and only solution to road fatalities maybe they could take a step back and refine their messaging but I doubt it.
