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

Nobody wants to watch a video where I complain about all the things wrong with a place they've never been to.
How is it possible for this retard to have so little self-awareness? He condemned Houston despite staying once at a hotel miles out of town, and was only part of technically Houston by the little tendrils of the city that annexed the mall and the commercial areas around it, to the point where if he walked behind the Wal-Mart he would've been out of the city limits.

And despite using the famous picture like every other urbanist retard, he sure as shit hasn't been to Breezewood, Pennsylvania.

Free public transportation, land transportation... between countries. I'm just saying, if a country doesn't make you pay a toll for that service, that is fucking retarded from a bridge maintenance perspective, because presumably this bridge is getting used a fuck ton.
I don't even think it's even worth debating. It's a fictional city occupied by invertebrates. Then again, maybe they'll be at home—bugmen don't have a spine either.
 
This kind of thing exists (most road crossings into the USA are "free") and in the Schengenengeghengengnegne or whatever the fuck they call Nazi Germany now (why the fuck does it sound like Shenzhen) you even have public transit between countries. They have joint agreements to manage it (usually with a bridge, like even interstate bridges in the USA, one state maintains it and the other pays them for "their half).

All this stuff works if it's "roughly equal" - when it becomes unequal for some reason because it's used by one side only or something, then there are complains and fights.
And see, that makes sense. Trying to make it communist and "free" just doesn't work, because it's going to fall apart otherwise
 
As to public transit, my cousin visited my sister in Los Angeles. They decided to have a girls day and visit the Wes Anderson exhibition in Santa Monica.

Now traffic around that area an absolute nightmare so they decided to take the metro.

Their experiences?

On the way there, there was this awful Negro that rode the metro for two stops but started smoking pot halfway through their journey.

The way back was even worse. As it was getting dark, their were more homeless people on the train as they usually ride the rails until they close. So what happens?

This fucking bum reaches into his ass crack and withdraws his hand. The tips of his fingers are covered in shit and he proceeds to smear it on the wall of the tram. With it being summer, the AC is barely keeping the tram in the mid 70s, so as the ride continues everyone is treated to whiffs of hobo shit.

This was not the only issue as another awful Negro was standing in the rear of the train playing some mumble rap but probably got tired of the smell of shit blowing back on him so they moved forward to here my sister and cousin were.

A Hispanic gentleman asked the Nigger to turn off his music but the Nigger just as got in the Hispanic guys face and ask him what he was going to do?

Nothing.

The Hispanic guy didn't do anything even after him and another female tried to plead common courtesy to the Nigger. So everyone just sat on the tram and accepted it.

After all, what could they do?

Fight the nigger and be branded a racist? Be arrested and spend the night in jail?

Finally, you get a group of you Hispanic teens boarding in East LA while eating. While that might not be a problem, they left all their containers and cups on the seat. The same Hispanic gentleman tried to say something but the only response was a middle finger as group left the train. Near the end my cousin had to get up and give her seat to some Abuela that got on.
This is why we need to institute either A. insane asylums B. public hangings, or C. Saudi Arabia style Sharia law.

People would be absolutely astonished about the amount of work and shit goes into "free stuff" even at a city/county/state level. To us it looks like "oh wow funding made new bridge" but it turns out that careful studies determined how much "benefit" each community on either side would get, and the 50% that wasn't covered by state and federal highway funds was allocated to the communities based on miles-adjusted population or something. It gets quite complex.

If you're bored, go look for the city/county minutes or some recent project they did, and read through it. Also, if you start doing this stuff, you'll realize that you can have an outsize influence on major projects for small amounts of funds - that's where those "support the walking/bike path" groups can be big - they can produce $10k in donations which means with matching funds and a bit of help, the city can unlock millions ....

And roads and bike paths are simple compared to public transit, because if they fuck up on a road build it's just a road with minor ongoing costs; if they fuck up a public transit there's employees, drivers, maintenance, all sorts of shit they can't just stop paying.

Yeah. A lot of the bar districts have cleanup crews that work between when the crowds leave and Sunday mornings to clean up the vomit, trash, etc. that is done on the taxpayer expense.
 
I came across this image on social media, where high speed rail would actually make sense in the US.

Oddly, it's pretty much exactly where you'd expect.

Well there is always the extreme option D. of mass emptying the cities, Khmer Rouge style. It would achieve the ultimate walkable city for them, too bad they would be deemed as "New People" and be targets of mass genocide (as would most of us).

Climate Change makes people like cars:
Climate change is like maybe what, one degree average in a hundred years? Isn't that the actual science, not "oy vey, it's a hot one today. Must be climate change"

Conspiracy theorist is mad that someone called him a conspiracy theorist:
I love how the retard misses the point about GM being convicted on conspiracy. They weren't indicted on "replacing the streetcars" it was the business collusion of buying a certain brand of tires/buses/etc. and that was against anti-trust laws.

"Build more bike infrastructure! No, not like that!":
I thought the idea for bike trails was that it was cheaper. "yeah but this trail isn't a $4.3B megaproject" is a terrible argument if you want more bike infrastructure.

Mass shootings are caused by cars:
I'm surprised "he drove a car to [the school/the restaurant/the movie theater/etc.], therefore cars are culpable" isn't an argument with that sort of retardation.

Dumbass cyclist cuts off a semi and starts a fight with the driver and gets airhorned:
Amazing how he's the hero of the story and still comes off as an asshole.
