I'm not sure why they think "car culture" is a uniquely American thing. Anyone who can afford it in "enlightened" countries will buy one if they can afford it, from the Japanese and European down to the third-worlders.
I'm pretty sure every country has "their car".

For example Australia: Holden Commadore/UTEs, UK: Vauxhall Astra, Brazil: VW Gol, etc.

It's almost a universal thing.

Even in the most backwoods of villages people want their own car, there was that one video of that kid in Africa who built a technically functional vehicle with salvaged parts; it's not much (basically a wooden frame with a moped engine) but in the third world, it's faster and better than what anyone else has.

In Hong Kong, they upgraded to cars from bicycles, and by that same token, wanted dangerous shitholes like KWC gone. (Not that modern Hong Kong has it right, but they were on the right track).

If you want an excellent example of this look at the Bush Mechanics videos and the wacky shit that Abbos will do to get a car.

Sounds like the leftist is coping more than the rightist is.

I would say you can prevent this by actually keeping criminals in jail but this retard seems to think doing that is somehow a bad thing. I wonder if he would apply the same standard to gun ownership whenever the next convenient tragedy happens for politicians to crow about.
 
Urbanist in Salt Lake City (judging by the street name) is mad that locals have caught onto them brigading polls to show fake support for road diets and bike lanes:

Just use trains to evacuate! Why would you want to save your priceless heirlooms or carry supplies or leave anytime?

FYI, road diets have already killed people who were unable to evacuate from a wildfire due to the artificial congestion (archive).

WTF are they talking about?

How far do you think the fatasses of /r/fuckcars can bike in an emergency? We already know that four blocks is too long for them to walk:

The big problem with trains is that you have to send them back continuously to pick up people. I guess if the trains too late and the fire/hurricane is already there, then screw them for being late?
 
Zohran Mamdani, the urbanist mayor of New York City, decided to fly from NYC to DC to meet President Trump instead of taking Amtrak.

Urbanists, like Alan Fisher, are not happy:

Zohran's fans are defending him for his hypocrisy:

Please don't criticize him, at least he's not flying a private jet:

So much for "HSR is faster than flying because the stations are in the city center":

A journo asked him at the White House about his transport choices, but before he could give an answer that would anger his base, Trump interrupted and saved him:

Sorry guys, but only the little people have to ride the train. Important people get to fly and drive.

I don't see the problem. Isn't flying the statistically safest mode of transport? I hear urbanists crow on about statistics every time they talk about safety so I'm just going with what they're saying. :smug:

It's also going to be far easier for his security team to secure a plane which already has security than a train where they usually have no security and they'd likely have had to take over a full car to get nearly the same level of security.
 
It goes to show you can never be progressive enough for these people. He probably only flew coach so he could "Be like the working man" but his base wants him to larp and take a fucking train. We are going to get to the point anything other than walking is seen as Nazism
 
There's so many things you could criticize Mamdani for, but his method of travel, seriously?
The guy constantly promotes public transit like busses and trains and talks about being eco friendly. It was a low hanging gotcha for more right leaning journos. In fact he almost fucked himself over when he just recited his fast and affordable busses talking point because the lady was about to ask him why didn't he take the bus when Trump stepped in.

there is NOT many things you can criticize him for
He made a lot of dumb promises and just got elected, let the man cook. He will be a frequent character in this thread in a few months.

It wasn't a progressive asking questions, they they don't ask gotchas to their own and they would have stopped at his urbanist talking point instead of trying to trip him up with a follow up.

MTG took the train from Georga to DC, it isn't impossible and I doubt security would be that much trickier than flying.
