If they’re going to make people ride bikes and scooters in traffic, then it should at LEAST be legal to do the Snow Crash thing where you use a hook-shot-style harpoon to catch free rides from cars.

    This anti-car shit is starting to become another brainless cult. The issue with North American urban planning was never with the cars themselves, but rather with our over reliance on them. Bike paths, public transport, better walkability, and mixed zoning are all great things but cars are still very useful tools. Banning them entirely will cause more problems then it will solve.

        Are you an idiot? I’m criticizing the mentality of the movement. The anti car movement is heading head first into extremism by removing nuance and only viewing things in black and white. Your comment actually demonstrates my point.

            I’m not talking about the post, I’m talking about the anti-car movement in general. There are a lot of people who really do boil down their worldview to “car bad, no car good” without any regard to nuance or context. The number of these people is increasing and they’re annoying
