“It’s not like the government is forcing you to buy a car!”

If you live in a city with parking minimums, yes they fucking are.

    Urban fabric is when everything’s a building, meaning you can’t go anywhere unless they’ve got the door open for you.

      “Dark urban alleyways are the scariest parts of a city”, I say as I dart across twelve lanes of traffic on foot.

      Are you proposing a society where we never leave our cars and every business is a drive thru? Even if you drive to a wal mart today, they still have to have the door open for you to shop there.

      And our current urban fabric is everything is a road, you can’t go anywhere unless you drive a car. Can’t afford a car? Too young to drive? Have a health condition that prevents you from driving? Want to choose a car free life? Too bad.
