you're forgetting that most boomers are irritable fucks that absolutely hate young people in the suburbs so most kids rightfully just ignore them and especially nowadays just hang indoors or stick with close friend groups.
If that was in Chicago or NY you'd probably be having to fight off a grown crackhead who wants to steal it.
It's sort of hilarious how they keep trying to argue how trains are supposedly the pinnacle of comfort compared to cars but never acknowledge the fact you are able to do even less on a bicycle and are even less comfortable.
How are they that ignorant of history, he's literally describing the situation pre-car, there was city, and countryside, 'suburbs' didn't really exist because horses are expensive af as a transportation option.
First Japan, now Italy! Where will car-centrism strike next?Speaking of which:
RETVRN TO HORSEWhy has Europe not been frozen in time for the past 1000 years?:
If we really did return to horses after a solar flare or something passes the Earth it would be hilarious as the fuckcars people (fuckhorses? That just sounds even more wrong) would complain even more about how economically inaccessible it is. Can a poor person buy a 2003 Ford Focus? Sure probably. Can the same person afford to feed and maintain a horse while being jobless and on benefits? Neigh.
Even in Singapore, everyone wants to drive and anyone who can afford to does.
Sorry, I can't hear their complaints over the
The "boat" Venice loses population every single year. Wait until they see the actual Venice where people live, work, and shop.
A common issue for cyclists.
And piss. And they don't particularly like paved or cobbled roads. And dead horses (and they died a LOT back then) are hard to move so they lay in the street rotting for a week or two before they've lost enough weight to be easily removed.
Neo-urbanists don't want to achieve equality by lifting lower classes up, but by dragging everyone else down to the lowest common denominator. When the baseline is terminally online Munchies with self-diagnosed anxiety disorders, the common denominator is quite low indeed. For all their rhetoric about car drivers being selfish, it seems hypocritical to demand that transit be rebuilt from the ground up for a tiny, unproductive minority.
To them, Henry Ford's greatest sin was he enabled the idea that everyone could have a car.
Very true, they despise the average working class person. They're against the idea of people having personal autonomy to be able to own things. That's why they constantly have to lie about the suburbs being subsidized otherwise they can't come up with a reason why people living outside of cities that they never cross paths with bother them.
