    Car culture turns children into prisoners in their own homes.

      I am so happy I didn’t grow up in the US… Lots of biking and walking, a bus to go to town, school friends that tag along in the evening

        It does not matter how windy or straight burb roads are.

        What matters is that they aren’t culs-de-sac for pedestrians/cyclists, allow mixed use zoning(!!), and are dense enough to support a diversified economy.

        See: streetcar suburbs.

        I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. That was hilarious and perfect content for a shitpost community.

          I’m dead serious. You assholes chased me around and downvoted everything I posted for two weeks straight. So I made a new account.

          Nothing but bad things from lemmy.ml, you’re a cancer on the fediverse.

            I’m sorry to hear there were folks who did that. I just chose this server because I wanted a general purpose one that seemed to have a decent chance of sticking around for the long term. I have no interest in harassing people or getting into server wars.

              It’s not server wars, it’s a server designed to spread authoritarian propaganda behind a veneer of communism. But maybe you’re not part of that… if so good luck.
