Overall solid meme content, but when when I lived in a rural area cars where what let us connect with the community because we were so spread out. When living in the city I was less connected to the community because I disliked my neighbors...
The lobbying of the car industry is the only reason you need a car to get to your community. Trains could do it better.
The rural community consisted of farms spread out miles apart in various directions across hilly terrain.
I mean, was this the situation before cars? I fail to imagine a person living miles from the next human being without a car.
Cars made rural communities dependant on them. It's not a fatality.
Yes lmao. My grandparents didn't get a road until like 2010. And that "road" is a dirt road the county grades once a year and is about 1 mile from their house.
Rural America is incredibly rural. I just checked, their county (an unincorporated county at that) has a density of 14 people per square mile.
Guess I'll just spend all the time raising horses then.
Yeah people couldn't live outside dense urban cores before cars. Farming was invented by edsel ford.
