Car dependent transit systems have you niggers spending $13,000 a year on transit. If we had walkable/train-based transit your maximum expense would be $1200 a year ($100 unlimited transit pass a month) for a platinum grade membership. meanwhile my actual cost of transit is like $400 a year for occasional bus fare or lyfts because I just walk everywhere.
Cars are objectively shite and make you poor. Imagine putting that $12,600 a year in savings into index funds instead of pissing it down the toilet on a cage.

The era of SELF-OWNED cars is over, cars themselves will stay you just won't be the one who owns them.
All this infrastructure won't be magically erased, the difference will be that absolute Uber-ization of everything is upon us. Public transport, semi-public transport and even more efficient Uber system where 4-5 people sit in one car at once to go to work etc. More automation, less human control.

I miss it so much bros. It used to be so easy to stay fit just from walking to and from work, carrying groceries home and going to the park on occasion.

Imagine actively wanting to be dependent on a bus or a train, having to wait for it, having to share it with niggers, the risk of crime, the noise from classless shitbags that ride in it. Only a fucking bug would want to get lumped in with all the other bugs daily. Walkable cities are nice for vacations or putzing around on the weekends otherwise it is a miserable way to live day to day. You would have a car and stop being poor if you weren’t so spiteful.

Even though I walk whenever I can, I don't believe that public spaces in America are as safe as they could or should be. But just writing public spaces off altogether would be a terrible solution; If we have to keep ourselves trapped between our cars, our homes, and a selection of "safe" areas, then we're no better than caged animals.

If cities and states actually bothered investing in public spaces/transit, then I think they wouldn't be such stinking shitholes that only the dregs of society use.
