Asking there to be fewer people while: 1. Fearmongering about crime in cities, which is not a a real issue. 2. Overhyping the costs of not driving in general.

Asking there to be fewer people while: 1. Fearmongering about crime in cities, which is not a a real issue. 2. Overhyping the costs of not driving in general. (No one sent you can't use a car x times a month to do your rural hobby.) 3. Most fundamentally at all, neglecting that American norms of crazy amounts of driving are out of line with other developed countries too. Is morally bankrupt. "Technology breakthroughs" is a complete red-herring when we already have the technology to be vastly more sustainable per capita if only you weren't wedded to an insane suburban lifestyle. If I were some developing country person with 10 kids living in poverty, why would I give a flying fuck about some SUV driver's crocodile tears? The mast politics are only possible if you are willing to give something up in return for what you are asking for.
