A community for discussions of how cars have ruined many cities across the globe, as well as alternatives to them.
Cars are deeply tied to capitalism, and in resisting capitalism, it is worthwhile to reconsider personal automobiles place in transportation.
Rules: (wip: message me if I’m missing something)
Be nice to people: This is fuck cars, not fuck drivers. Yes some drivers are car-brained maniacs, no that doesn’t mean they’re evil (usually).
No hate or bigotry: No racism, homophobia, sexism, terfs, ableism, etc. Not the move generally. Cars have already destroyed enough marginalised communities, no need for us to help them.
No traffic violence: Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No misinformation: Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment: Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
It's also great when public transportation service goes until 01:00 at the absolute latest, but alcohol service goes until 02:00. And then a taxi costs something like $100/hour and it's not like a person lives in the area of where they've gone out for the night, so the ride home is long and expensive.
Pretty wild how many bars in rural/suburban areas have parking lots
Cities: you must have at least have 100 parking spots for every square centimetre of your bar!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡 Removes sidewalk Cancels buses
Also Cities: remember not to drink and drive ;)
But yeah it is crazy that bars like this exist as well:
Walkability also plays an important role in that (in addition to reliable public transit).
