If public transportation is beneficial to a city, you've already missed the ideal mark by a long shot. The ideal city has no need for movement of people over distances where mechanical movement is the only practical option.
- Turskarama 2y agoThat's not really realistic though, you shouldn't need to use "mechanical movement" _every day_ but that's a far cry from never needing it at all. At the very least if you ever want to go somewhere else you're going to need a way to get to an airport (or I guess in this ideal utopia a train station).
- randomdata 2y agoWhy is it not realistic? If you feel the need to leave, is it really the ideal city? It seems that you're hung up on imagining the shitty cities of today, except without cars, not anything resembling an ideal city.
- Turskarama 2y agoSorry but this take is just ridiculous. A city is not "ideal" if you never want to leave? What about visiting friends, or traveling, or seeing family?
- randomdata 2y agoWhy wouldn't your friends and family also live in the ideal city? What is the ideal city lacking that sees you need to travel for other reasons? Don't get hung up imagining the shitty cities of today, except without cars, actually think about an ideal city.
- Turskarama 2y agoWhat if I want to go climb a mountain? Or go skiing? What if my family can't afford to move, or have good reasons not to move to the ideal city? There are plenty of reasons you might want to leave somewhere even if it is quite literally perfect.
