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

[Yamamura]

Average urbanist or even just big truck hater could win actually win a surprising amount of average joe or working class hearts and minds if more smaller options with a sizeable bed or work happy trucks like muh Keis (atleast, for lower speed or risk worksites) were something they advocated for

They'll still never give as they'll still see anything short of eliminating all personal transportation to be a loss. They come for the Keis soon enough just give it time.

One day you won't even be able to own a bike, they'll make sure you can only rent one because "You're not using the bike 100% of the time why not let someone else use it". Since they're that autistic about things being utilized every waking moment of the day.

This.

The motivation driving the urbanists? The bike bros? The mass-transit advocates? The 15 minute cities and "congestion" fee future?

Is an all-consuming, seething, white-hot hatred of personal autonomy as an obstacle to their idea of a perfect socialist utopia.

Utilitarianism for everyone but the ultra rich. The true urbanist utopia.

My big problem with that series it relies too much on memes and the occasional "muh JOOS" to really get the point across. Plus, the "I too dislike being stuck in the suburbs" weakens the argument.

Yeah thats fair I tend to skim the JQ parts, as for the suburbs bit I think that's one of the stronger arguments and why I associate 'urbanist' with 'retard' .
Claiming all suburbs are bad because developers got away with that shit is stupid, and we know this because older pre-war WWII and early post-war suburbs(depending on country) that haven't been raped by apartment buildings are way better and more desirable than the newer style in the article(assuming the urbanist bugman type hasn't discovered and shat it up yet)

If they were about improving shit instead of trying to make it zero sum they would be less entertaining, but things can be better, being able to drive to visit friends and/or take decent PT so you can get hammered and still get home safe should be an easy sell, yet they just can't do it they have to demonise cars and people in detached housing.

They really are the new 'religious right'.

Urbanists and transit nerds are so fucking insufferable.

Public transit has abysmal numbers after dark. That's literally why they have taxis and Uber.

Like we're not niggers, right? Everyone knows these exist in the USA today, right? They're called ATVs or golf-carts, and are street-legal for non-highway use in many jurisdictions, and even if not, many more have them not explicitly banned, and you can just ask the cops and get permission for "incidental" movement across highways.

Any rural area has designated "ATV" roads where you can drive things like this: https://www.cococoupe.com/product-p...-4-seater-lsv-low-speed-vehicle-60v-truck-red or https://www.polaris.com/en-us/off-road/ranger/

Golf carts and ATVs are in that category of rarely used and the people that use them tend to not to be a nuisance. If they were more heavily used in urban areas there would more legislation and debate.

"No rules until the problems start" is really the case for ATVs and golf carts.

"Oh but muh induced demand, if they build it people will come" uh no.

Goes to show you how shit that argument is. Freeways are used because there's demand for it. The "If you build it they will come" (which is attributed to Field of Dreams, by the way) has been proven consistently wrong in business. Restaurants, stores, products, and big developments have all consistently flopped when there's no demand for it or very little demand, and it's something that you can't really create out of thin air.

Even with the iPhone (the first one, in 2007), it started to become a success because the market needed some sort of all-in-one personal assistant/cellphone that wasn't clunky as shit. The iPhone of course was what really started the modern Apple cult following...even Apple stores had only been around for six years at that point but they really weren't what they were like today, mostly it was a way for Apple to better show off its products than what was found in traditional brick-and-mortar stores, where salespeople weren't really educated on Macs or tried to steer people toward PCs (a lot of business was done through mail order).

Urbanists and transit nerds are so fucking insufferable.

It's a little hard to tell what's going on without context, but either way that's one reason why my parents, when they moved to the house they did, didn't want to be on the edge of the subdivision because it was a gamble of what could be built there instead.

Jacinta Allan is the current premier of Victoria in Australia. (I have no idea what she is banging on about.)

The person replying seems to be upset about losing privacy in their backyard and trees being cut to build shoebox townhouses, with some urbanist furry replying that they are a "NIMBY" and should move to the desert.

They should be more concerned with who the new neighbours are that will be living in those townhouses,

Slaps the side of the fence (it falls over) you can fit 15 to 20 Pajeets in this property.

LSVs are a subset of things like golf carts and side by sides, in that they have all the accessories to be road legal vehicles. It's like how ebikes pretend to be bicycles but in reality are just mopeds. Modern society is all about using apps and word games to skirt decades old regulations that exist to keep things from happening (again).

Golf carts and ATVs are in that category of rarely used and the people that use them tend to not to be a nuisance. If they were more heavily used in urban areas there would more legislation and debate.

"No rules until the problems start" is really the case for ATVs and golf carts.

Someone has never had to deal with suburban affluent communities or places like beach communities. Golf carts can be as much as a menace as bikes en mass. Since they are quasilegal at best and pretend to be offroad/pedestrian traffic. So they think traffic rules don't apply to them and cause more problems than road vehicles.

Redditors are retarded more news at 11.

I can not wait for all the articles and videos when the first actual bike lanes start getting removed.

They mad:

He has no power to do this to us:




Provincial overreach is bad, unless it's for something we want:


If there were lots of cyclists regularly using them, they wouldn't be removing them:



Have you tried building more roads?



This guy plans to lay in front of construction equipment to stop them from tearing out the bike lane:

He's against bike lanes because he's pro-crime:


And this is supposed to convince him to keep the bike lanes?

That bicycle is full of woman's clothing (note the pastels and prints) but it's difficult to tell if the rider is a troon or a woman (leaning woman because the typical AGP usually has a distinct, bad fashion sense). Besides, if you were on tap with the trendy, urban lifestyle, you'd have clothes picked up and delivered clean, not stuffing than in a kitchen garbage bag like a hobo.

They mad:

I went to Street View for Bloor Street and bicycle lanes were installed in 2020. Rolling back a street to its pre-2020 configuration is hardly the shoah these ingrates think it is.

If there were lots of cyclists regularly using them, they wouldn't be removing them:

There's a reason why Critical Mass events are only bicycles, they would happily mow down "pensioners with canes" or at the very least call them names for being "in the way".

My first apartment where I lived had hookups but I ended up doing my laundry at my parents' house, who lived in the same town. The apartment itself was run-down but large, and probably still one of my favorite places I've lived despite its problems.

My guess is that they treated the laundry room area like a spare bedroom/closet and need all the space they can get. Also, New York City has all sorts of arcane laws that make it difficult/enormously expensive to add washers and dryers to buildings (Source / Archive).
