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

[LaxerBRO]

I really don’t get where car dependency factors into this. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen “Wehhh, suburbs make the kids depressed!” Whenever I see that, I just think about the horrible upbringings my parents both had in a major city and how they moved to the suburbs to give my brother and I a better life.

I have seen this alleged many times but I don't see very much evidence.

The first US suburbs is Levittown in the early 1950's. They would need to provide evidence that kids specific US regions have less social interaction (definition is important here) based on the community.

They would need to disprove or account for alternative hypothesis such as being online, preference for digital devices, concerns about crime, charges in parenting style, etc.

It's very difficult to prove cars have a significant relationship to a lack of socialization so it's never really done just alleged in nearly all urbanist videos.

Yeah, it's a film but it's relatable to many Americans. What do you know, no public transit!

Also in many areas, 12th graders are now driving; the ability to socialize on your own in the USA goes NUTS after you get your license (hell, whole movies are written about this).

And what have we here, the inflection point on that graph isn't the proliferation of vehicles available for young drivers, it's the beginning of the Bugman Century in 2000! Ha!

An audit was done on Hawaii's Skyline confirmed many issues with it, i.e. the usefulness of the route, poor marketing, lacking in payment options, and disability access. / Archive

That audit is just a small fraction of how hard Hawaii shit the bed with this rail project. And yet the urbanists and the pro-bikes/FuckCars community will still find a way to defend Skyline as it is.

The other side of this is "I am a socially inept dullard BUT if I lived in the city I would have a better social life" which just isn't true. You'll be just as lonely in the cities, probably lonelier, if you don't have more friends as is. This is reflected as "Yes, I live in [the city] but it's still bad because it's too car-oriented!"

That and I think its that they have so few talking points in their favor that they have to keep reiterating the same ones repeatedly. (Besides the confirmed ones who are self admitted alcoholics like American Fister). The three that keep getting brought up are:

• You don't have to drive yourself
• You can play video games/eat
• You can ride while drunk

The last one seems to be repeated the most because they think its the one normies will find the most appealing. To some level I think they're hedging their bets on this last one because not everyone cares about playing video games every waking moment of the day.

Really says something about their lifestyle and the fallout from it that they assume everyone in the world is just watching for a clock to hit noon so they can start drinking......

Maybe I'm just autistic, but being lost in a sea of people seems quite isolating.

Having a smaller circle of friends in the suburbs or even a rural community sounds less so.

Or maybe it's the exact polar opposite mindset, something like, "I am a socially inept dullard BUT if I lived in the countryside I would have a better social life."

Thoughts?

That's nothing. Ted K didn't ever go outside either.

Other than being an open degenerate (which may as well be true as I haven't looked into the post history) he encapsulates the perfect /r/fuckcars user—delusional, rude, probably a trust fund kid, and blames cars for being a shut-in with no social life.

Also, this dude probably is at least 300 pounds (136 kg) and yet still believes that "gym of life" shit.

Are all his food deliveries by bus, train or bicycle?

They are called externalities because you don't have to account for them.

r/truefuckcars (a) appears to be this retard's subreddit where he dunks on r/fuckcars for being hypocrites, or something. He's literally the only one in there besides two other users and it's completely dead.

When even r/fuckcars downvotes you for having a retarded opinion like this, maybe you should reconsider.

This seems like bait, he's too on the nose for a fuckcars user, and he mods a dead sub. I doubt his position is real, and the constant self reports make him seem way more trollish.

It's complaining about the Amazon cargo bikes in the bike lanes. The mealy-mouthed soy creature making the video tries to paint them as "not bicycles" just because they're larger and "take up the entire bike lane"

In addition to not realizing that congestion pricing is the reason why these are out in full force, it's basically being hypocrisy at the highest order, not just pointing out the Amazon cargo bikes running red lights.

One of the "solutions" the soy creature points out is a "wider bike lane", LITERALLY becoming the whole "just one more lane bro" stereotype.

Complaining about highways is silly. Not only is their budget pennies compared to the millions transit sucks down, if the local DOTs ignored highways for a week, then things would go mostly as normal. If trains shut down for a week, then anyone who uses the train for commute better catch a bus.

Also, while privatizing Amtrak is likely unsustainable that was the original goal as to why it was even created in the first place, if congresscritters of the 1970s KNEW that Amtrak would just be an albatross forever, it never would've been created.

Now that, THAT would have been a good idea. Make a high speed toll road, maybe align it closer to I-5.

In it, he doxes himself as a barista working at Seek Coffee Ditmars in Astoria, Queens, NY.
