New ‘toss just dropped
>>1825378america was like the bottom pic for the last 100 yearshowever, that grandpa defo had a big ol' barge at 16, and "playing outside" to him includes wrenching on the ol' rust bucketbut the kid at 16 never turned a screw on a bicycle, nevermind a car
>>1825378Lol it would be more accurate if they showed rows of suburban hell houses with big front and back yards and kids playing in cul de sacs
Why don’t you go outside anymore?Outside they built:
>>1825400That's China.
>>1825400but that's the coolest outside ever.i could just walk forever in that outside, and when i get tired i can hop onto subway and get home
>>1825401Tokyo. rent free
>>1825381>that grandpa defo had a big ol' barge at 16I honestly thought that was just in the films- uhh sorry "movies".
>>1825378>Hugh Jassalso i found the amogus
>>1825378Should have made a caption that should have had Europe on top with one person saying "Oh hey my bike does not work, i am going to take the Train instead" and on the bottom the American goes "oh my car will not start, i guess i will just walk 4 hours to my job"
>>1825413nah. america is a car country. there are boys who have girl hands and can't wrench, these buy toyotas and volkswagens that never fail (except they do and it's a job for their dad to fix them), but every man who doesn't have a car before they can marry is a raging homosexual. and even then, many of those folks get cars too, to sneak away and mingle with their kind, i don't agree with them but i respect their dedication.it's the new generation that prefers to chat with their (possibly homosexual) friends through their phones. it's so easy! you don't have to go anywhere! all this car nirvana, this freedom we've built, and they just use radiowaves. frickin' radiowaves!and don't even try to be all smug about your "public transport" and "walkable cities" garbage, these assholes with mouths don't want to walk either, just eat, shit and smear bits of that food and shit over a bit of glass in their hand.
>>1825479>don't even try to be all smug about your "public transport" and "walkable cities" garbage, these assholes with mouths don't want to walk either.Not that anon but unless you have experienced it you do not even know how great it is.
>>1825491might be the greatest thing god has conjured, they still ain't using any of that shit.
>>1825399>suburban hell houses with big front and back yards and kids playing in cul de sacsGod it sounds terrible! are there fire pits and decks and pellet smokers and late model convertibles being waxed by bald men?
>>1825505Source: Dude Trust Me.
lol, you guys sound like a bunch of fat kids making excuses why you can't grab a camelback, some spf100 and go out in the 100 degree heat. buncha pussies.I can go FullGas @95 degrees, 60% humidity for 90 minutes without food or water before I start getting squirrley. Get better, /n/
>>1825381Gramps had a community and 50 people he knew in the neighborhood, today the kid is driven 20 minutes to school and is the last white family on the block
>>1825378I don't understand why the boomer is asking that question, the kid's using the very device that's keeping him from going outside.
>>1825515>>1825528
>>1825378yea maybe you should fix that by not raising your kids in urbanised hellholes
>>1825378Ironically, urban upbringing makes you more likely to become addicted to the internet-https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/18/9890/htm>Urban living was reported to be one of the determinants of CIU [2,6,7]. This association has been shown in various countries and cultures including Greece, China and Japan, based on various questionnaires such as the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS). Several possible mechanisms have been proposed to explain the association between urban living and CIU. First, common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety [8], and non-clinical psychological distress [9], are more prevalent in urban areas. These conditions have been associated with CIU [10,11]. Thus, other mental health conditions may mediate the association between urban living and CIU. Second, CIU has been reported to be associated with lower social support [12]. Social support tends to be lower in urban areas [13]. Lack of social support may be another factor underlying the association between urban living and CIU. However, some studies still report an excess prevalence of CIU in urban settings after adjusting for these covariates [2]. Further studies are needed to investigate the reason why CIU is more prevalent in urban settings.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25780842/>The adolescents living in urban areas showed a significantly greater intensity of Internet and computer addiction symptoms measured by the KBUI Questionnaire, compared to those living in rural areas.Sure explains some of the posters on here!
>>1825600The divide there is urban vs. rural. Suburban areas are considered urban for that purpose. Rural areas are less likely to have high speed internet access.
>>1825642Plus who is more isolated than me in a 4000sf house I dont know a single neighbor and I get 1tb down. Suburbs can be more isolated than the city. Only rich people have big enough apartments to never go down in the street in Splendid Isolation.
>>1825378I feel like the lefty-sphere discovered a thing to be mad about in like the past few years and just moved on from posting about Bernie and the DNC all day and now they're posting doomer NUMTOT memes about "this is what they took from you". Like, I don't know if it's NJB's fault or something else but after his StrongTowns videos dropped, all of a sudden millennials and zoomers seemed to inexplicably care about urban planning.
>>1825381I'm a Millennilol, played outside when I was a kid, played video games inside, turned a wrench on my first rust bucket at 16 too. People complained about kids not going outside back then as well, things don't change, just old people being old, complaining about the sky falling or something
>>1825381Fpbp.
>>1825652Interesting, but the science would seem to disagree with you- > The team found that people’s self-reported loneliness increased by 2.8 per cent for every additional 1000 housing units within 1 kilometre of their home, while their self-reported social isolation increased by 11.4 per cent.
>>1825814>Increased overcrowding and population density were associated with higher levels of loneliness
>>1825763It’s not just ex-left wing posters, it’s actually a lot of ex-right wing guys too. Really the whole urbanism thing is just a way for people whose brains were broken by the 2016-2020 propaganda assault to satiate their addiction to getting into political arguments online while allowing them to pretend they’re still too cool for electoral politics and like so above that now that it’s more mainstream. But I guarantee like 99% of these people have extensive political post history on twitter or similar
>>1825819Absolutely trueImo the basis for effective urban planning has roots in civil engineering, something most of the urbanist parrots don't even have a cursory understanding of
>>1825819literally me
>>1825515>CamelbackHow often do you run 20 miles?
No fucking way.This hack ripped off a year old tweet and is passing it off as an original concept.
>>1825876>boomer: why don't you kids spend time in the cul-de-sacs and yards of the urban sprawls like we did>zoomiezoom: YOU MAKE LE CAR PARKS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CITYWhat the fuck does this even mean? Is this implying that zoomers live in car parks? Are zoomers too stupid to afford a home in urban sprawl?
>>1825882>Are zoomers too stupid to afford a home in urban sprawl?Zoomers can't even afford a house to begin with.

>>1825763This is why religion is so important in society: these retards don't really care what they're bitching about they just crave the endorphin spike that belonging to a group working for a supposedly higher cause brings. So, since they're going to bitch and whine and scream no matter what, you might as well give them something innocuous to play with: people demanding you attend church and swearing on their mother's grave they saw Jesus on their toast might be annoying as shit but they're nowhere near as dangerous as people demanding you eat the bugs and swearing on their mother's grave they saw racism on their toast.
>>1825378the age of cars is over. boomers will seethe and dilate as we put them in care-corrals and lay light rail and greenbelts overtop their godforsake intracity megahighways. strip malls? new apartment buildings. stroads? tram and greenbelt. they say we can't have light rail because "there is nowhere to put it" and ooh what is this? boomers already paved over a perfect strip for our light rail to go on. we just need to move the fucking cars off it.
>>1826402You guys are obsessed with boomers
>>1825378This is retarded zoomer copeStreets haven't changed in layout since the 1950sBoomer "outside" is the same thing as now

>>1825763>And out of nowhere, for no reason, a bunch of people started caring about urban planning in the last few yearsI wonder if anything happened these last few years.Like some kind of big thing.Maybe something that stuck tons of Americans inside, perhaps followed up by rent, gas, and groceries skyrocketing.It's not a hard formula to grasp. When economic times get tough, people demand for something to change. Historically it's always worked like that.
>>1826785>communism>anyone to whom it may concern is starvingYou don't say.
>>1825528>>1825378It’s not directly to do with what “outside” looks like, but that’s part of it. Really it’s just social inertia — it’s harder to bike 20 - 30 minutes each way than it is to just stay home on the Internet. But back in the day, your only option was to go outside, even if it was just to the library so you could nerd out. It also depends on the local culture. Until I was five, my family lived in suburban PA. Real spread out, practically rural. But we knew and hung out with all the neighbor kids. Then we moved to California, and despite the houses being much closer together, I almost never talked to the neighborhood kids. Even that could vary; my friends lived closer to school, so their neighborhood was a little more lively. This was just before the rise of social media.It would have been nice to have a functional bus system to take me to my friends, but that wasn’t the root cause.

>>1825506You have kids playing? Do you base your perception of the world on ed edd n eddy?
>>1825506Kids don’t play outside in the suburbs anymore. What if a car comes by and takes the kids with no one noticing? Or what if they wander into the road and get hit by a car not paying attention? It’s better to keep the kids inside, then yell at the kids for always being on the computer and being lazy all the time, but don’t allow them to go outside or take them anywhere.

>>1825381>america was like the bottom pic for the last 100 yearsno. 60-70 at worst.
>>1825400that's a pretty nice outside, retard. there's endless amounts of shit to get up to in a fairly small area.
A lot of it is just excuses. Young people these days are lazy, and the parents are terrible parents. It's easy to blame the outside, and maybe it has some truth to it, but kids are fat and lazy in Europe too where the outside is good.
>>1827981Europe copied America quite a bit with the newly flattened planes after WWII and several nationalistic socialist projects prior to the wars. You see how Germany raves about the efficiency of the Autobahn, the UK talks about traffic on one highway, and all of these car projects across the continent. You can even look at the rates of single passenger car commuters, and see they’ve been increasing just like the US.Most of Europe is like the US, but only a couple decades behind. Your kids aren’t as fat or as lazy as those in the US, yet.
>>1825506kids haven't played outside for like 30 years
>>1827981>in Europe [...] the outside is goodThat's a rather simplistic and naive view.

Fucking wow!An opposite mindset to it would leave a basement to flood every spring instead of fixing bad drainage. People wanting to fix dysfunctional things is normal, despite the fact that their solutions and approaches might vary.
>>1827386The planet has a caloric surplus, a significant one. For instance, 40% of food goes to waste in the United States alone. But it's rather thrown away and poisoned with bleach than handed out to the hungry. There are technologies for production and distribution that could solve these problems, but implementing these on a global scale wouldn't be profitable (enough), or would at least require a huge investment which corporations are unwilling to risk. So people go unfed.Water issues could be solved, the technologies exist. But as above, big costs and low to no profits do not incentivize solving them. So people die of dehydration or unsanitary water sources.And millions die of treatable illnesses each year, because there isn't a profit to be made in curing them.Hell, it's more profitable to treat their symptoms, to keep them sick, than actually cure them. Similarly, hunger or thirst won't be solved, because it's more profitable to extort a price with the threat of scarcity, than it is to actually ensure everyone is fed. To keep societies sick with hunger and thirst, in a sense.So yes, an economic system does set the incentives and boundaries by which decisions are made. As such, that system bears some responsibility for the consequences its incentives have created.

>>1825381>america was like the bottom pic for the last 100 yearswrong
>>1827917>>1827927I know you guys had overprotective parents who didn't let them play but yeah we have a few Ed Edd and Eddys crews/bottle kids on our street who play outside because its summer and their parents are sick of their shit.There's a couple black families in our big neighborhood and the kids had a big black vs white tackle football game out there. It predictably ended a few plays in after someone superman laid out the black qb and he got knocked unconscious.I ride my bike around the neighborhood daily so I get all the gossip from Karens, Mildreds and Bottle Kids
>>1831701>Companies get to use roads to transport goods while the damages their massive vehicles cause to them are completely paid by you, the people.This is completely false. The majority of road $$$ comes from the federal and state gas taxes which tax cars and trucks based on their use of gasoline-at the pumps itself. A dump truck gets 5mpg while my Toyota gets 40mpg. They pay more at the pump than I do for the same road. What they will have to do as more people move to electric is institute a yearly tax on e-cars so that it covers the 25 cents per gallon the government gets now.
>>1831691>implying they are
>>1831701>>1832233Commercial vehicles pay a highway tax based on miles driven that's independent from gas tax.Also, regardless of who pays more for gas, it seems extremely unreliable to trust the fuel tax to pay for roads, even with trucks.
>>1831173>you WILL buy a car>and you'll be HAPPY
>>1832238>Also, regardless of who pays more for gas, it seems extremely unreliable to trust the fuel tax to pay for roads, even with trucks.if you think about it- not that bad of an idea. It makes you pay more per mile driven. The other option is a sales tax on trucks and that wouldn't truly capture the $$ of someone who rides a dump truck 50k miles a year vs a local dump truck that does maybe 12k a year.The government is a fucking idiot in a lot of things but Gas Tax to pay for use of roads seems like a brilliant idea.
>>1832245The gas tax is good in theory but the switch to electric and high efficiency vehicles gimps it. How do you tax power without disadvantaging people who aren't driving? People can always charge at home instead of a "pump".Maybe some sort of digital log of how much you've traveled that's paid similar to commercial highway taxes, but nobody's going to want that.
>>1832247Oh yeah and electric cars are subsidized heavily so you're getting even less theoretical money to pay for road wear caused by heavier cars.
>>1832236are you retarded?roads and car manufacturing are heavily subsidized it's not even a secret it's something everyone knows For an individualist you sure loves AMERICAN SUBSIDIZED HIGHWAY THAT GENERATE ABSOLUTELY NO REVENUES. Like seriously I can’t imagine these free market loving shit head can talk about how free market is awesome and greed is good but then try to justify billion of dollars in government subsidized highway infrastructure that generate no revenues as opposed to transits that generate revenues everyday. Or all those parking lots that are built and left unused that could have turned into corner stores that people can walk to and shop.
>>1832334>Highway infrastructure is required for transportation including goodsSame with every other method of transportation? Like trains, planes, and boats?I can't really believe that a cross-country road trip is going to be faster or more efficient than rail.
>>1832334>Also don't ignore how heavily subsidized public transportationso little it's irrelevanti know you're one of those retards afraid of the war on car in the US of all places lmaoabsolutely retarded you don't even know how much public money goes into roads
>>1831173> he doesn't know that US interstate system was a federal project
>>1825378Literally only a cityfag problem, and it's been like that since the 40s. Whoever made this comic is a fucking retard.
>>1831607>shipping COSTS>shitty condition to be a farmer, which could be improved, at A COSTYeah, that's what I said. If it was a matter of actually resolving those issues, they could be. The tools and resources exist, but a non-resource issue saps any will to do so. Because it would lead to "a loss"
>>1832494And what of the hungry farmer paradox? Environmental concerns from all that extra shipping and infrastructure? What about the power that could be obtained from essentially having an impoverished nation in your debt, and that nations may refuse to receive aid precisely for that reason?
>>1832391no way you're not trollingeveryone that pays taxes pays for road infrastructures, you can't pay selective taxesare these the people you argue with on the daily /n/?

>>1825528Maybe if he moved from the country into the city, otherwise community sizes and accessability have remained largely static.

>>1841255You do know that sunscreen exists, right?
>>1841399>Restricting access to personal movement isn't dystopianIt's a lot easierA large part of my issue with the anti-car crowd is that their argument generally starts out as "lets make the inner cities more friendly to foot traffic if not carfree" and they keep expanding that into suburbs and as the rural transport thread illustrates even rural areas where it makes zero sense. In a world where the government can say "nah you aren't getting on a plane" because they think you might be a threat to the government I can't say I'm excited at the idea of all long distance transit being mass transit that can be easily restricted by those in power.
>>1841465People want to expand your access to personal movement by allowing for other forms of transport.Right now it's "Buy a car or die on the street because you can't work. Better hope gas prices don't go up or our country collapses."Frankly it's a national security issue on top of everything else.
>>1841476>People want to expand your access to personal movement by allowing for other forms of transport.Except for the number of people opposed to cars in all cases and seeking to restrict access or ability to store a car even outside of urban areas.>Right now it's "Buy a car or die on the street because you can't work."Buses are a thing in pretty much every city in the US and many suburbs. They aren't good but it's less because lack of investment and more because all American social programs and infrastructure in all cases are ass. Besides cars are better than public transit because you can more easily live in your car without being accosted by police than a bus or subway. I should know I've slept in my honda civic in many Walmart parking lots and the monthly payments on a Honda civic are a fraction of the rent in even the shittiest apartments in a suburban or urban area outside of perhaps Detroit or another depopulated city where you could just sleep in an abandoned house for free.>Better hope gas prices don't go up or our country collapsesAnd you are basing this concern on what?
>>1841482>Buses are a thing... They aren't goodgee, if only there were someone advocating for improved transit>And you are basing this concern on what?By the national freakout every time gas prices go up even a little.
>>1841492>gee, if only there were someone advocating for improved transitYou won't improve the organization of American mass transit because it is AMERICAN mass transit. By all means make more railroads and bike lanes but if you expect that America will ever have any transit system as efficient as those of Europe or Japan your downright delusional. Most pro car people don't give much of a shit about public transit they give a shit when people go out of their way to make their main form of transportation as inconvenient or downright impossible to use as possible and then force it on other communities. You know what I would do if my town decided to build a subway system? Nothing. You know what I would do if my town decided to make downtown a car-free area? Stop going downtown. You know what I would do if my town narrowed several major roads to add greenspace? Protest and if that failed to stop the measure, move. I'm not gonna actively oppose greenspace or public transit but fuck the people who try to actively restrict the lifestyles of others while pretending they have a moral high ground.>By the national freakout every time gas prices go up even a little.There's a national freakout every time house prices decrease, might as well try to end private ownership of property because it might collapse the country.

>>1825378As a kid raised in a suburb it went something like this:5-10 you play outside in the suburbs with local kids, you play with balls and toys, and bike around the suburb looking for things to do10-16 you stay indoors and play videogames because playing with a ball is boring now, and you can't go anywhere16+ you can drive and start going out with your friends to do stuffThat 10-16 period is very formative for kids. That's middle school and most of highschool.
>>184449810-16 was when I picked up skating and hung out with other people and girls more than ever, a lot of it literally in parking lots, I think you’re just a loser.
>>1844498I played outside with kids until I was 13, then it started to shift over to online games but I still went outside since not all of my friends played video games.That being said this was 20 years ago, who knows what kids today do.
>>1825400Comfy and all your buddies' homes are a short walk away.
>>1844550If you were within walking/skating range of these other people then you were just lucky.My friends were all too far away for anything but a car.
>>1834416looks comfy
Almost every kid I see around where I live has their own ebike. Elementary to middle schoolers, not around high schoolers so I'm not sure if it's the same deal with them. One time I talked to some parents who bought their kid an ebike and the kid gets to school on his own, goes wherever he wants on his own, and has no desire to get a car or drivers license. Everything he wants to go to is within biking distance. It's pretty based.
>>1830941>>1832494Omg you're so right! Y'know, if you feel so strongly about it there's nothing to stop you from doing it for free.

>>1825378From my experience (as a zoomer), if you want to play outside:Leftist Parents>Nooo don't play outside its dangerous>What if you get a cold stay home>Don't play with this guy, he has a bad influence on you>You can play but ONLY in the garden where I can see you>Don't dare you get dirty!Conservative parents >Yeah sure thing, but please don't take animal bones back home this timeI don't want to argue the whole left vs right debate, but it's ironic that Leftist who live in cities, which are mostly governed by Leftist complain about kids not being able to play outside while conservatives who live in rural areas without leftist influce let their children play outside all the time.

>>1847720The craziest thing is car niggers really do think they pay their fair share for the road and that cyclists should pay taxes. When in reality road infrastructure worldwide is subsidized by everyone because car+gas tax doesn't cover the costs.The same car niggers who then say trains/trams/subways/buses are not "profitable", as if a public service should be run for profit and not AS A FUCKING SERVICE.But then again, if they were capable of reflection past "me vroom vroom where I want so good" they could understand such basic concepts.So where is my check in reparations from car niggers?>>1848031Anecdata gonna anecdata, my experience was the opposite.Conservative parents who wouldn't let me play outside because it was dangerous (too many cars, danger of kidnapping, have no oversight).At least until I was 13 years old when they let me roam free. To get to my best friend's house on the other suburb in town I had to cross a four lane road with no sidewalks, crosswalks or street lights. With the only option being a long ass detour and overpass bridge going around a mountain. Back then there were no bike lanes at all and no traffic calming measures. I almost got run over a couple times because I was a retarded fucking kid.What could have been a 15 minute walk was a 1 hour walk if I didn't want to risk getting run over just to hang out with my best friend from the neighboring suburb.The same kind of car dependence that brainwashed my parents into driving the car to downtown and parking there to go for a walk, instead of walking there, which was faster because of traffic and having to find a parking space.

Academia has been on this topic for over a decade now. Keep up with the literature guys:Per Malone (2007): >Children in middle class Australia, and many western countries around the world experiencerestricted opportunities to engage in free play in their neighbourhood streets and parks. The impact of this has been a drastic decrease in children’s independent mobility and environmental play.>Recent research has focused on the physical environment of neighbourhoods’ in an attempt to understand how they might be designed to encourage children’s play and increase their environmental learning. This paper explores these same issues but from a different perspective. That is, to explain some of the changes in childhood environmental behaviours I explore children and parentrelationships, in particular, the phenomena of ‘bubble-wrapping’ children to appease the anxieties of some middle class parents. I acknowledge when making these claims that parenting is a complex and highly individual enterprise with many variables, therefore this paper is only seeking to draw attention to a broad pattern of behaviour of a select group within society. >I will conclude with an overview of some of the key attributes and ompetencies that are being lost when children lack independent mobility in their neighbourhoods and will subsequently argue why opening the front gates of our middle class suburbs is important to enhance children’s environmental learning.

I much prefer a coffee shop or bakery that is centuries old and feels like it is part of the urban landscape, than a soulless, faceless, corpo-shit franchise like Starbucks.I oppose jewish internationalist propaganda of car dependency and debt slavery. I love my people and I love my land, that's why I want to preserve a local economy and character, a walkable, bikeable, public transit centric hometown.

>>1857919Fascism has nothing to do with cars, and I'm not going to vote for any political party that purports itself to be fascist or """right wing""" when they really mean they're corpo-kike puppets and Israel shills.I only vote in local council/town elections to get mayors/council members who are pushing for better public transportation and bike infrastructure.

I'll never understand why people even debate about whether or not it's bad that more and more cities are built around cars rather than people. How doesn't that piss everyone off? I know there are people who will say, "well I'd rather drive than walk/cycle/take public transit and the roads make it easier". I get that. Driving sure can be convenient, of course. But they're also making it so traffic is worse and infuriating. Nobody likes traffic. Then they make us pay more for the roads and all that car infrastructure. They jack up the gas prices. Apart from the fact that it's ugly and makes it harder to get around without a car, it's all a fucking scam even if you DO drive.

I think the biggest one was the parking lots. When I started measuring out our local grocery store, which I don't think of as being that big, I was blown away by how much more space was parking lot rather than actual store. That was kind of a problem, because we were originally just going to model real cities, but we quickly realized there were way too many parking lots in the real world and that our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots.>Manaugh: You would be making SimParkingLot, rather than SimCity.>Librande: [laughs] Exactly....

I read an article a couple months ago about those faggots in Buckhead or whatever place it's called, bitching about how their tax dollars are going to much to poor neighborhoods or some shit.

He's right on about this though but for all the wrong reasons.>>1876740The only reason we can't have nice public transit is because we don't have a society of just white people. Public transit worked wonderfully before the white population started plummeting in the United States and still works pretty well in the parts of Europe that are majority white. Gay Communists are either too retarded to see why these systems don't work in America or actively ignore the race problem due to their brainwashing instead hyper focusing on the local politics or economics of the few communities in America with (failing) public transportation.
>>1826317Just stop being an utter retard, anon
>>1876763Plus, WFH has exploded, making commute less of an issue altogether. Why live in crowded, overpriced apartments when you can just find something cheaper and more spacious?The other thing is statistics indicate that zoomers really aren't interested in cities as they make it out to be.
>>1873421>car infra is a game nobody wants to play but irl we're still forced toJust because one person has a design choice it doesn't mean much in reality. And it's not like SimCity (et. al.) aren't abstracted to hell and back.
>>1873149hes a disingenuous commie
>>1825378This comic is retard because all of the "car centric" mass construction happened before the boomer was even bornBasically, his outside was the exact same thing.
>>1830933how is living in a tiny bathroom sized apartment better
>>1880206That's only half true. It was really the 1960s-70s when car centric planning really took off. Before that there were suburbs, but most of American cities were still dense.
>>1881200Gramps either lived in the woods/on the farm, in which case there wouldn't be a valid comparison, or Gramps lived in the city, which would be dense with mass construction.
>>1826431>capitalism kills 100 million every 5 yearsI've seen the methodology they used to obtain this number. They included things like cancer, natural disasters, and road accidents, which we all know are nonexistent in communist countries.
>>1870194The reason it's so expensive is because everyone wants to live there, retard.
>>1882004No. Blackrock wants to "live" there
>>1881184Outside of my apartment there is everything I could ever want and much more. There is so much to do and see, people to hang out with and Stacies to bang that I only use my studio apartment as a hotel room.I don't need a big house because life is so much more than being a basement dwelling incel.
>>1825378>house is literally on a highway
>realitydespite complaining about zoning they still haven't figured out houses aren't allowed to be built in commercial zones.
>>1870174>>Zoomies learn that they could have lived in a world where they don't have to drive for 1hr every day, just to get to workaverage commute is 20 minutes, In Japan where it is heavily train centric its 1 hour since every single person must must work in Tokyo.
