Hard mode, don’t mention cars.
Im from bumfuck west virginia, we had to drink untreated ground water, we burned our trash, I was homeschooled for a significant portion of my childhood. Stop romanticising rural living, raising a kid in those conditions is child abuse, that’s why I don’t think where you live should be a choice. Where I was I couldn’t just take a train or a bus or a taxi, you had to own a car or a horse. And the horse thing has to do with the Amish who I hate with a passion and are no different from the Russian kulaks. Confiscate all their land, relocate the hill people to the city.
it sounds like you had a personal terrible experience growing up in poverty in a rural area and that’s massively affecting how you think about the whole issue. I have to say though you get some pretty bad situations in urban areas too the issue is the poverty
And wouldn’t it be easier to solve all those urban problems if EVERYONE had to live in an urban area? I’m not saying f urban living is cheap or close to nature or the apartments are very big but it’s for the benefit of the collective why I support it. Because the only way human society can change is if we live in the same material conditions and that can only happen by destroying rural and suburban areas.
gonna grow food on the sidewalks chief? have you heard of “carrying capacity”?
someone has to grow the food, maintain the railways and other infrastructure that passes between the cities, etc… we can’t all live in cities. like dense housing is good and I prefer city life but I also get why some people prefer the peace in the valleys and in the mountains.
