Your comment is just very angrily agreeing with me.
Please note the main point of my comment, the US is _stuck_, they dug themselves into a pit where the only option is to dig deeper. That's the whole point!
> The buses aren't driving faster than private vehicles. Worse yet, they have no privileges and actually obey traffic laws compared to normal traffic.
That's because you build public transit that way, it doesn't have to.
> Boy, isn't everyone just dying to not only finally own a house, but then own one where you can't drive anywhere and you're subject to the only grocery story in your area.
You don't need a car, that doesn't mean it's illegal to own a car and drive to the next neighborhood. But since everyone around you doesn't need to get in the road for every little thing there's much less traffic.
> What a wet dream for lack of competition.
Lack of competition... because not having 50 parking spots per grocery store is _obviously_ anti-capitalist...
> Hey, and while we're all at it, why don't all of us just own nothing, rely on public transportation, and rent forever.
I don't know how you turned my comment into an argument against private property.
> Worse yet, these people don't even give examples of where their supposed utopia already exists where there isn't an order of magnitude fewer housing units that you can actually own, businesses, or anything else meaningful you want to go to or have in your area.
Again, I don't know how this is related to home ownership at all. You can still buy properties... And there are examples all around Europe.
> The supposed answer is always denser housing, renting, and you not owning your own vehicle. Wow what a great standard of living! Sign me up!
Again with the property ownership thing... Just buy your car, you can still drive to the corner store if you really want to, they'll just make fun of you.
