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.

From my experience of both:
The people in the top rarely leave their houses except for work because there's nothing to do that isn't a 20 minute drive away.
Meanwhile in the bottom there's a park and 20 restaurants, cafes, and shops within walking distance, with a million other things a bus ride away.
Rent in the former is 2000 for a 3 bedroom. Rent in the latter is 2000 for a studio.
2000 a week, right?
Lol in some places probably. Around Chicago you can get studios for 1-2k depending on the neighborhood. Cheaper to rent a room though
Those brownstones are like ten times more expensive, though
Yes because they didn’t build enough townhomes
I don't know the area specifically, but in my experience near me, they're usually more expensive per square foot, but about the same price for a "home". However, if you're looking for a place to hold two kids, usually there isn't a lot of options, or they are really expensive.
True, but it is ten times more beautiful and eye pleasing, right?
