Happened to my buddy Fulano Metal once. He told everyone his past traumas and people called it "A villain backstory".

How would ground trail-less trains look like? I have never seen anything like that.

Trains are way better than cars, the automobile industry has just convinced people that being able to walk to everything you need is bad for your health or something.

Trains are buses but worse. I don't want a noisy train to be built under or around my house just for some people to travel.
I mean, with a car you could learn to drive and drive anywhere you want or get driven anywhere you want. With trains you have to sit next to lots of crack addicts. No one wants that.

You could say the same thing about a road. People were often literally forced to move so highways could be put in.

That's massive cope. Cars are the reason cities are reduced to unwalkable garbage. Trains can reasonably get you anywhere. And mass crack addiction is a separate problem that can reasonably be solved.

Nowadays not much. Even then trains are significantly louder than cars. You don't hear many cars in the middle of the night but you'll definitely hear a loud train nearby.

Can a train get me from one edge of the united states to another? They do not. They have a pre installed path that they do not deviate from. Cars offer a significant improvement in mobility. There is a reason why people use cars or trains to move between states or countries.
Solving drug addicts doing druggie things in public transport isn't as easy as you make it sound. Even then, driving your own car is better for that.

What will you do if you're not punctual and you miss your train? Wait half an hour for another one. In the time you wait, I would have arrived on a personal car.

Cars >>> Trains no diff

I hear them all the time. I know a guy who lives in a town with a train, and he only hears it like once or twice a week, during the day.

Yes. that is literally the whole point. You don't even need to stop for gas half as often.

Cars are literally just ass, the planet is dying because of that bullshit.

Or you could walk, if car industries hadn't lobbied to ruin every city.

That seems to be more of a personal problem. I've lived near trains, and they're always louder than any cars. I'll hear a load train travelling by in the late night but never a car.

Yes. that is literally the whole point. You don't even need to stop for gas half as often.

Interstate trains don't tend to be connected to all states. They might not even be connected to your state right now, or they might be far. What if I live far from a railroad, then what? I'll drive there. Trains are redundant most of the time.

Cars are literally just ass, the planet is dying because of that bullshit.

I don't care about that hippie bullshit, I am not giving up the convenience of having a personal car that can drive me anywhere over concerns of climate change. Especially when there are more dangerous factors that harm the environment more than a middle class citizen with a car.

Or you could walk, if car industries hadn't lobbied to ruin every city.

You say that as if we could magically reverse cities built around driving in cars. The only thing we can do is remove the laws that force cities to be built solely around cars and avoid building cities that revolve around cars in the future. I don't trust the government to control and remake already built cities to make them more "Walkable", they will use it to remove shops, buildings, businesses, etc. The government should not be trusted with that much power. They should not dictate which types of businesses occur in their cities.

For me to travel to the nearest railroad it would take me an hour by foot, very inconvenient. Even if I wanted a train to go to the nearest store and my job, I wouldn't want it to be built near my house. I don't want to hear the damn train just because the government wanted to increase public transport methods.

Either way, what if I don't want to walk? Even if my closest store and job are half an hour away from my home walking, I'd still prefer the convenience of driving there rather than walking or having a railroad built nearby.

I sure do hope there isn't any walkable spaces propaganda in my out-of-context screenshots thread!

It's literally a whole ass industry, there are like a billion cars. They made cities unwalkable, and they're inefficient. Car-based cities are only convenient for lazy-ass people who can't walk 5 minutes. All that, plus the amount of car deaths, plus the bullshit costs of the car, plus the clouds of smoke emitted into the air by the metric fuckton of vehicles driving around spewing shit, and it proves the world would have been better if they were never made.

5 minutes is an exaggeratation. At least in most places I've lived in it takes 20 to half an hour to reach stores or a job. Sometimes more.
Cities being built around cars is actually a benefit most of the times. Think about it, even if you call people who don't want to do 5 minute walks you have to consider that without cars, they would be walking for a long time while carrying heavy bags. Especially if they're elderly or disabled. Have you thought about them? Without cars your granny would have to walk five minutes to the store and back while carrying heavy bags. Something that would be leagues easier if she had a car.
That and that's assuming she lives remotely close to a supermarket. In some places they're 30 minutes away or more.

You also have to take in mind that walking is inherently less safe than driving. Especially if you're living in a bad neighborhood. A so called "walkable city" would be useless in a high crime neighborhood. You're likelier to get robbed by feet or in a public transport than to be robbed while you're in your personal vehicle.

You speak a lot about walkable cities but you don't mention the implications or a walkable city. Tell me, exactly how do you plan to make a city more walkable? Mention the logistics, mention the methods. Start offering a better solution than what we have now and then I'll start hearing you.

Because he's the one who made the response to the CGP Grey video

Also like I agree with walkable spaces partially as I think being able to walk to wherever I want to go without much issue is useful but also forcing people to go by either cars, walking or trains is omega cringe and you should let people do what is the best for their situation.

We literally just need a city without roads everywhere, with residential areas near the places where you can actually get shit, that doesn't take a century to cross.

Ok, but people are literally forced to use cars right now. You can't afford to live if you don't waste money on a car.

What about the old cities? What will you do with them? Will you let them stay as "Unwalkable cities"? You talk a lot about what you want but you don't describe the details of how you'll achieve it.

You still have the freedom to buy and use any vehicle you want. Your ideals seem to be more restrictive on which transportation methods people use.

Interestingly, I have made no policy propositions, I was speaking in terms of future city designs. I never said anything about redesigning old cities, I just said they were ass.

In what world is "you can't drive a car into the place people walk," more restrictive than "you literally cannot reach most places of work in a reasonable amount of time without a permanent expense."
