Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea

    I mean, it is? Like every transportation, it is good, but depend on situation and need, the issue is people who think car is the only solution. Actual urbanist do agree on that, and people who actually do ground work know there is a fine balance you need to have in order to move the direction toward better city, simply hating on car will get you nowhere, or worst, get bigger pushback from carbrain.

    There’s this huge issue about c/fuckcars, people tend to treat the name literally. Like, look at the side bar, the description even say what this community is about.

      Agreed. FuckCars is 95% correct. The last 5% tends to be people who don’t know anything about cars arguing about cars.
