Suburbanites say how they need car to get groceries, bro having to get your groceries in giant trips and plan long ahead sucks dick. I’d much prefer a store on my walk home from work where i can quickly stop to pick up the things you need for a day or two.
Yes, Cars need space, yes, Cars are totally useless in cities and yes, even in suburbs you don't need a car.
But whats really frustrating to me is the condescending view of people with perfect infrastructure in people with Cars in general.
I live in a village and you know why? Because I'm raised in a Village, thats how I'm used to live and it's not an Option to me to move 20-30 miles away in a town where I know nobody. The other reason is that there are just not enough apartments so even if I would wan't it's either crazy expensive or just not available.
I say this because I read far too often that people should just move into the city and leave just all behind because the authors are just life long urbans.
I fully argee that people with good existing infrastructure should leave cars behind because both is stupid. But if we all can also accept slightly different life plan with their own pros and cons that would be great.
Idk how other people feel, but I just want options. I want the option to take the train if I want, or drive if I want. I shouldn't feel like a car is necessary.
