    Self driving cars we’re talking like a decade, the kind of societal changes you’re describing take a generation.

    The kind of changes I’m talking about are happening, even in the US, right now. It’s you who’s lobbying against them by saying “can’t be done”, “not fast enough” completely ignoring what’s happening in actual cities all over the place. How about “hey why are the Mormons of all people more progressive than our city”, instead?

    Also for an purported supporter of public transport you ripped into /r/fuckcars quite a lot. WTH are you even doing over on the snoo site.

    You literally have to wait for every suburban stick in the mud to be willing to move out of their home or die before you can achieve your car-free dream.

    No. Railcar suburbs once existed and existing car-dependent single-home suburbs can be turned into them by, as I already explained, densifying around the stations. Which has been done, and is being done, and would come soon also to your city if you bothered to argue for it.

    As to me personally: I never owned a car. Never needed one.

      You can support something and also think that others who support that thing are childish and naiive.

      WTH are you even doing over on the snoo site.

      I didn’t even say I was on it, I implied that you were childish like they were. Learn how to read.

      I didn’t ask and I don’t care.
