@TheGattoniCelli@the_transit_guy He’s not hating on America, he’s hating on car dependency, outdated urban planning, and unhealthy lifestyles. Those things are common in a lot of places—including America—and all responsible policymakers should be doing something to change that.
@Slowtravler@Boenau “Stealing a lane,” as if our public roads roads belong to cars. 🤦🏻♂️ Pedestrians come first, then bikes, then public transportation, then cars. Traffic bothers you? Get on a bike or a bus!
@YIMBYLAND I like the simple, modernist houses and can appreciate their historic value. What makes the street dreary and ugly is the city infrastructure (small grey sidewalk, cracked blacktop, no landscaping), not the houses.
@elijah_thane@abandoncomfortx What? Ok, now you’ve lost me. Basically every good esthetic decision made since the beginning of time had gays involved. Gays are the arbiters of innovation and harbingers of good taste. Leave it up to straight people and our cities would all be a line of COSTO warehouses. 😂
@the_jefferymead@MikeNellis Oh come on. If this were Nancy Pelosi or Hillary Clinton pocketing that government money, you’d be losing your mind. “They’re just doing it to be helpful.” Don’t play dumb.
@texasrunnerDFW@FoxNews Procreation and poorly behaved children are separate issues, stop conflating them. For decades (centuries?) the polite etiquette was for children to “be seen and not heard.” Sounds like people crave a return to that tradition—which probably existed for good reason.
@burby_geek @bankertobuilder Well, once upon a time, there was this thing called “civic life” and it happened in city centers. People would spontaneously meet others, interact among social classes, and generally enjoy themselves. I know it’s hard to picture now, but just imagine it.
