big surprise, his stance on meat is as awful as his stance on cars. Beyond Meat is the most unsettling, disgusting thing I have ever eaten (tried it at a company BBQ). It has the most horrible slimy dog shit texture, the taste is unsettling and the smell is gross. Regular veggie burgers are fine, just not like meat, but Beyond Meat truly does taste like some sort of lab grown abomination.

A good chunk of Tokyo and urban areas in japan are heavily affected by this. So bad in fact that some places have to provide free water and even an water mister as a means of preventing heatstrokes.

Its true. I live in Minnesota in the cities but travel up north a couple times a year to the Iron Range near the canadian border, its always significantly cooler up there in the summer compared to the cities. There are other effects at play here as well (great lake effects from Lake Superior), but the argument is the same in other northern areas where there is no lake effect. Cities create heat domes.
Being anticar is also being pro-urbanism and thus also anti-environment. If you support getting rid of cars, you also support destroying nature and the surrounding environment to build overly dense megacities. It is an inherently hypocritical stance to take.

Have these urbanists ever argue against mass urbanisation, where large numbers of people move to cities because that's where all the high paying (and comfortable) jobs are located. I find them their views disingenuous if they don't address this point.

Late I know but seatbelts were a LONG LONG process. The government mandated that all new vehicles had to have seatbelts starting in 1968, but when I was a kid, if you were an adult riding in a car you didn't have to legally use a seatbelt, even if you were riding shotgun. (The law changed before I turned 18). About 13 states won't pull you over for the sole reason of not wearing a seatbelt (it's against the law but you have to be doing something else like speeding), and even today New Hampshire does not require seatbelts for adults.

Not just the Japanese who enjoy some fun car mods. The Central American community and car guys in PR also really like their mini trucks. They'll modify their Geo Trackers and Suzuki Jimmys to the moon and back.

I'm not sure I buy this. Suburban sprawl consumes more land than dense cities do.

You just have to phrase it like "induced demand will fill the cities up and make it impossible to live in." But they would say that induced demand is Good, Actually for cities the same way it's good for bike lanes and trains.

People prefer to eat meat and do so when they're lifted out of poverty... so we should make sure to plunge them back into it to save Mother Gaia, says the whiny gaynigger who wastes untold thousands of gallons of jet fuel every year just so he can fly his useless ass to some other country and make a boring video about it.

That is canonically an ethnostate that committed genocide against its neighbors, which makes this funnier.

Ah, I see this anon is desperately trying to defend his decision to live in London despite it being a complete and utter shithole.

I imagine London is the equivalent of New York City—history, culture, and some iconic landmarks but full of non-whites and insufferable bugmen in a hideously overpriced, crime-filled shithole with insane politicians who will kiss the feet of the criminals and immigrants while treating citizens like dirt. There's also a subway, which is held up as some sort of paragon of mass transit but is also a dirty, dangerous money sink with most moneys going toward pensions than improving it.

Fun fact, the urban heat island effect is not accounted for in NOAA temperature monitoring stations. Stations that were once rural are now in an urban environment showing the historical temperature trends to go up where there might not actually be any real temperature increase.

Another fun fact, many weather reporting stations are at airports. Airports have a lot of asphalt so those readings were already garbage, and worse as the airport expands.
