That’s not what we’re saying though, all we’re saying is let’s get serious about alternatives to driving, the rest will follow. And yeah the die hards who will never give up their car, fine, but they better be prepared to pay the price for the externalities they generate, which isn’t the case currently. I also think it’s funny you think it’s us who are trying to force people to retreat from society. The single family house zoning and sprawl, everyone traveling everywhere alone in their automobile and lack of density, third places and opportunity for spontaneous social life that is the norm in the US has been proven to be devastating for society and individuals and bears no small part of the blame for the loneliness epidemic. You’re the ones who are actually forcing people to retreat from society.
- bequanna 3y agoDude, if you think pretty much everyone else in the US is wrong except you and your fringe group, I’d reevaluate your position.
- bedobi 3y agoWell, in this case, everyone else is wrong. The environment and society cannot bear the level of automobile dependency North America has. If we want to leave a livable planet and society for the future, it has to end. But you’re right, we cannot and should not do anything about it, because that would infringe on motorists right to drive. After all, what’s more important, not inconveniencing motorists or the planet?
