Singapore has a non homogenous population, but is high trust, I know that racism is fetch here, but the real issues is a non-homogenous culture, and lack of enforcement that creates low trust enviroments. Also lol euros high trust, ask them about gypsies, or pickpockets in any tourist area (they've been there forever).

If you read even slightly beyond the literal words he chose...that's what he's saying. White people going to Japan are causing the same issues.

The problem (this one specifically) isn't because of a flood of people of different skin colors, it's because the West is scared to enforce (even suggest) ANY type of integration. You can come to any western country from literally any shithole (that you're fleeing from and complain about) and then continue to do THE EXACT same shithole behavior here. They group together (because why wouldn't you?) and instead of being one awkward arab guy getting shamed for harassing teenager girls, you have hundreds of them giving high fives encouraging each other.

Even the countries that pretend integration is a thing (eg. Canada) with the "melting pot" are run by complete pussies who are afraid of being called racists if they imply "hey, raping random people on the street ISN'T ok here...).. Hence they have different Indian factions fistfighting in the street over some shithold non-existent separatist state they want back in India. Then there's all the turban marching across the US right now.


This also affects these bike faggots. Visit any westcoast city and ask people where they leave their bike when they go anywhere and they'll laugh in your face (or cry, because their bike is gone) about what a retarded idea that is because of the uncontrollable junkie/thief population. Ironically Japan has one of (or the?) best bike security systems with their cool underground storage tunnel system, even though it's completely unnecessary

Exactly, common culture is the operative word. A group of suburban neighbors doing a neighborhood barbecue is a microcosm of a high-trust society because they all have similar lifestyles, speak the same language, and so on, doesn't matter if Mr. Johnson is black and Mr. Garpez is Hispanic. The problem comes in cities where they're willing to let immigrants refuse to integrate and violent apes (of all races) get away with their actions.

Parking in the middle of a travel lane to "traffic calm":

I assume he thinks cars are slowing down because he parked his bike there and not because of the funny shaped red sign that he doesn't understand.

Plus, it's a parking lot.

That being said, there aren't too many metro areas in the U.S. where Kroger exists and is urban enough to be surrounded by bughives like that. This would suggest something like Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, or someplace in the Carolinas. I can't find an exact match in Dallas despite some similar urban scenery.

It's Carmel, Indiana. Exact spot on Street View.

Note that the store has bike parking literally steps away from where he illegally parked his bike:

Remember, these are the same people who rage at delivery trucks pulling over in bike lanes.

Even more cope:

Man, this is a nice trip. Too bad not everyone could come. It's too bad he only had a bike to haul his kayak around. I know he is fit but it's a 30 mile trip from his place to the head of the river, no way he could bike that far, kayak for a few hours, then bike back home.

---

On a serious note, it's not financing $60,000 to haul a kayak. Unless the guy bikes everywhere, even a pickup is being used for basic transportation.

Such, the cost should be the difference of the cheapest car that would suit the majority of the drivers needs vs the pickup.

"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it":

I knew this was coming eventually. It follows with my assertion that the end goal was always just "you will own nothing". Pretty soon they'll start arguing about why you don't need to own a bike when you can "just rent one". It all comes down to the erasure of the concept of personal property in favor of communal property and collecting pittances from people for using services they could once do themselves. Under this paradigm a handful of people control the world.

Suffer urbanist bike faggots suffer. You dug your grave now lie in it.

Sorry for the double post, but it's honestly such a cope the way they keep insisting that the only truck you can get is always financed at $80k. That's like me saying it's impossible to get into biking because this bike costs $12,000.


There are teenagers who get their first trucks that are usually older ones they can afford while working part time jobs. You can get an older truck at a decent price without financing it. However urbanists want you to think that every truck is out your price range to discourage the idea of even owning one. They can't fathom that there's someone who has a job and regular income where the truck doesn't make up a significant financial burden to them because they manage their money responsibly and earn more than minimum wage.

Then again when it comes to correctly estimating prices of owning a vehicle they've never been genuine about it.

I generally despise the idea of communal property or "you will own nothing and be happy".

If you have lived with roommates, especially in college, you will understand it's problems. I have lived with roommates that left pots in the sink so long their was rust damage to them. Some fuckers will use a fork to make scrambled eggs thereby scratching the Teflon coated pan. The dish liquid is watered down as they don't want to replace it. Food in the fridge goes fucking moldy.

Now, there are a few times "communal" things are nice but that requires gate keeping through higher fees to keep the riff raff out and provide a large enough staff to mitigate damage / repair things.

/r/fuckcars describes what their ideal street looks like:


Make sure to look at the picture, it's absolutely insane.

In case you think it's a troll, it isn't:




Yards should be removed and be replaced with convenience stores. Kids can play on the sidewalks in front of them:

Cars are the reason why pedos are able to kidnap kids:

Maybe not, but there's a multi-story just down the road and a whole bunch more nearby.

I was about to say... I am VERY familiar with small businesses/cultural centers that due to limited real estate? Have no parking RIGHT OUT FRONT THE FRONT DOOR. But, I've never seen a mid-sized town or small-sized city without parking lots/garages in the same neighborhood.

The idea that a car user just shrivels up into a black lump if they have to walk more than 100 feet from where they parked is ridiculous.

 

[Irish Turtle]

Do any of you guys have stories of actual people you met irl that talked about how much they hated cars and loved public transport.

 

[gagabobo1997]

can someone explain the whole third place thing to me? from what I understand it means a place that isn't home or work, i.e. those are the first two places so a third place is somewhere that isn't that.
my confusion comes from the fact that literally every town in america i've been in has restaurants, parks, usually libraries, swimming pools, whatever. if those aren't third places then what do they want?

Their hive cities have a lack of free “third places”. Restaurants, bars, and coffee shops all require you to buy something. Libraries and parks are defacto homeless shelters. Basement dwellers are afraid of physical activity, which rules out swimming pools and gyms.

Of course, none of this is an issue in the suburbs.

Yeah. All of the stuff in the pic is just a gayer, shittier version of a park.

Growing up, we lived out in the sticks but we were taken to parks regularly and I can even say that there was one that was the most common with the fondest memories. I can't vouch the quality of and safety of that park anymore (let's just say that the basketball courts get a lot of usage) but in the late 1990s and early 2000s it was still okay.

Anyone that wasn't a teenager? I remember being a lot more pro-trains when I was in high school until I realized that they kind of suck. Partly this was just growing up and realizing cities weren't the be-all end-all I thought they were, partly because mass transit depends on who your fellow riders are.

When I was in Dallas for Spring Break ten years ago and riding back to the suburbs with mostly-white children and their parents, I remember being annoyed because the train was crowded (not particularly noisy as the kids were tired), but in the grand scheme of mass transit that's high-quality ridership. Houston was more "interesting" and in one case, there was a urban gentleman with a heavy coat (this was springtime, temperatures too warm to be wearing something anywhere close to that), who began loudly cursing on the train, and a scuffle followed in which the straphangers actually pushed him out before the train left the station.

Both these were 8-10 years ago, post-COVID ridership on both probably look very different.

The people I'm talking about are in their late twenties/early thirties. So unfortunately, yes.
