OMG I talk to you that there is no place on Earth no matter how public transport friendly that does away with personal cars, I give you personal examples but to you your theoretic theories you built in your mind are more real than reality. I'l see myself out.

Talk about bizarre comments. Cities are fine. Trains are convenient. "Liberals" is a weird term.

What I'm criticizing is modern public-transit-over-all city bloggers and "fuckcars" people who are either blind of hypocrite. They are usually triggered when someone says something good about cars like pointing out people actually need them regardless.

Read the paper . It will only pay for itself if it is planned properly leading to significant ridership increase within significant time (20 years, as per paper). Claim that PT always pays for itself no matter what is false.

By 'nobody likes transit' I meant commute in public transport, and of course it's an oversimplification that I used to reply to a dumb comment.

I don't cling to suburbs, and I don't hate cities. I hate living in cities. And I lived in several European cities for a large part of my life. I prefer to live in a suburb or semi-rural area, and those areas work differently than cities. Public transportation cannot work in them the same way. Again I know that for a fact because I lived major part of my life in a public transport based country, and even there suburbs and semi-rural areas were covered sparsely and people relied on personal transport a lot.

Don't get me wrong, it's cool to have public transport, it liberates those who cannot drive for financial reasons or because they are too young, but pushing it everywhere only works if everyone is pushed into cities, which I'm not having.

Oh no. What are you saying. That people in walkable cities will still drive, need roads and parking spots? That we can't do away with all commuter paradise?

Stop! Stop saying such things! It's evil!

>Transit essentially always pays for itself

That's based on nothing.

Is this your best response why people even in walkable cities talk about traffic and parking so much?

I thought people in cities were supposed to take those streetcars and buses and bikes and stuff, because city bloggers told me that's what cities are for. Yet all the time I hear how people living in cities everywhere complain about traffic and parking, European cities too.

I lived in cities 20+ years of my life. I don't like cities. And yes, no one likes transit, except when it's so empty that it is definitely not paying for itself. Bikes are cool.

Lol now you downvote me before replying. I won't even bother reading your crap. Bye.

For dialogue to happen both sides need to be willing to listen. Your use of derogatory words for no reason says you're not ready to and overall seems to believe you've figured life already.

Sorry I don't follow what obnoxious claims are invalid?

Just don't tell people what a comprehensive philosophical teaching about life and death is called. Reddit does not like that word.

Why the region that is down called "up" on your map, tho? ^(/s)

Yes, Weehawken, called it Union City because that area is dominated by the Union city. I know we love our little "these 7 blocks are a different city" in NJ, it's just a bit tiring sometimes.

Union City area had public transportation for ages. The only thing that has changed recently is exorbitant real estate prices, which incentivized the developments. (But let me guess, the core users of r/fuckcars probably against those greedy developers as well simultaneously, because, you know, greedy capitalists)

But there is more.

Development in the whole Union City are just immensely ugly. On a photo Union City looks like a city, but when you arrive there it feels like you're walking between giant parking lots all the time.

Just look at it: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.773191,-74.0138385,3a,75y,129.38h,89.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sZ8YrkFi2FkHyIbJiXkkoYg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Such a nice vibe of soulless brick walls and obscure service doors with nothing interesting for an eye to latch on to.

Here is the building from the photo: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7745921,-74.012889,3a,75y,63.39h,94.29t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sMO1eR6haWyQD5mov7SR7JA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

First 3 stories are just soulless parking. I would not want to walk around that street. There is nothing to do there. Even during the day time it's ugly. At night it's creepy.

Why does it look so? 2 reasons. First because zoning laws are just purely stupid in many places in America. First floor should be lovely commerce or public places. Second is stupid or lazy or cheap architects, because this style is just everywhere in America. Tons of tons of residential building one after another with no break for commerce or parks or squares.

The funny thing when the money is in they can definitely build healthy high and mid-rises. Just look at the nice parts of Jersey City or Boston.

Pablo Escobar broke the law but turned out to be pretty fine until was killed.

None of the examples like these can serve as a role model.

There is not much connection between taking a shower and a future you want either, but not taking a shower assures you will never get that future.

It does not have to be making bed specifically, it is just a beaten example from a speech of a wise military guy. In the broader context it means: next to the creative chaos you create in your life when you do something you must spend time to counter it with order, otherwise you will not be able to be productive.

I will put it so that almost every man understood: this is the reason why you want to put your tools back after you worked on something, rather than just leaving them lying around.
