    You’re being ableist as well as having zero idea about how modern society works. Maybe if you lived somewhere that your entire commute wasn’t down the street to fetch a pail of water and/or had mobility issues where riding a bike or getting on some pain in the ass public transit system is difficult, you might understand why cars have a place in our society.

      I’m not being ableist. Car centric cities are not more accessible. If most people used public transportation, this means less cars in the street, less need for huge parking lots, more space for accessible parking spaces, more funding for better and more accessible bus lines, etc. I don’t work down the street, but my commute is both confortable and 100% accessible if I needed it, all the way to my office desk. You’re so deep in your shit hole city mentality that you can’t even fathom that people have already solved these problems over and over again.

        You have no idea what “ableist” means, do you?

        Imagine getting where you need to go without the ability to comfortably walk, ride, get on a bus/train, etc.

        You’ve been so brainwashed by this pseudo-utopian “fuck cars” mentality that you can’t even fathom that your “solved problems” create problems for so many people and you just don’t fucking care. Let me ask you this: if you went somewhere without a car path and you needed to bring home something big and heavy or a lot of small things, how in the world are you going to do that without a car? Oh… wait. You can’t.

        Stop blocking people out of your mind with common sense, logical opinions. You’re locked in your pseudo-correct mentality, just like vegans, or religious people. Wake up and realize the world is so much more complex than your oversimplified view of it.

          Did you even read my comment? I literally pointed out that if most people’s used public transit, this would free up space to those that need cars. Just because some people need cars it doesn’t make sense to say fuck buses.
