War on Drivers

Dogshit title.

Its a war on the automotive industry and their planet killing infrastructure that's forced millions of Americans to own cars they can't even afford to get to jobs late that don't even adequately compensate them.

Dogshit title.

The NY Post is a dogshit tabloid.

Oh yes, that planet-killing infrastructure that allows your groceries to be delivered to your store.

Let me guess, your ideal future for humanity is ultra-densified condo towers with thousands of identical 250 sqft cubicles so we can all huddle together and bike to service jobs that don't even let you see a lawn for the rest of your life?

Would it also include 10+ billion people by 2050 Mr Planet Killer?

You've guessed wrong. I'm living in a (by US standards) high-density small European city right now. 95% of the time, everything I need is within walking or cycling distance. Public transport works well for the remainder. I'm living in a 1500-square-foot house, as are most of my neighbors. There's grass and trees outside, and a river. Neighbor kids are playing outside. I don't work in a service job. So go ahead and have your shit hemorrhage if you want, but if you ever become interested in facts, come and see how real people are living right now.

That's an unrelated problem. Only a fool assumes that there's only a single workable solution. And only a worse fool assumes that the existing arrangement is the only possible one.

Is it that controversial to want sidewalks?

Non car transportation exists, trains will get your goods to the store but vastly more efficiently. But you’re probably baiting anyway you car brained hyper individualist dweeb

It's really got nothing to do with individualism.

And meanwhile, some European cities are implementing zero-emission zones for logistics (trucking and deliveries). It's not all rail.
