Car-Free Living Takes Off in Car-Centric Cities

[Based Lord Zedd]

They mention Houston, but a lot of people want that car AC when summer hits. This is a swamp.

I would say that the lack of walkability or even reliable public transit is one of my main issues with this city.

As someone who has been coming to Houston off and on for the last 4-5 years, they can gtfoh w/ this. It gets hot as balls round this hoe in the summer time. Is this part of the Green Houston project? I like how the city center is more connected for cyclists a ton better than the DFW area, but a lot is left to be desired for bike riders. Maybe it's just me but all the off ramps and such look like they're on the brink of collapse round here too. Once you get outside the city centre, they look brand new but I'm out here in Pearland/Mo City mostly

Lot of gems in here. I don't think any of this is new as a dedicated bike person who bikes to work, including the fanny pack which can be tucked under your shirt and is great for carrying small weapons for any dumb ass car driver with an attitude problem.

Do the same when u in your 40s and the doctor needs to speak with u. Cause they will tell u right now biking is what u need to be doing

This is a great idea, but I refuse to live in an apartment/townhome/studio/flat/condo or whatever people consider them. I need a front and backyard to myself.

I wasn't raised in an apartment or flat so no way I'd settle for that now..
There's no way another human is dwelling above or beneath me

The Boomer generation really f**ked us with the redlining and suburbia, car-centric urban planning all in the name of greed.

Good. Walkable cities solve a variety of problems. When you shrink roads you create more space for housing. When you put more busses and trains in the city, you reduce the amount of cars on the road which makes ambulances, fire trucks, etc. Faster at responding to emergencies. When cities are more walkable, people save money on gas and air is cleaner with less exhaust blasting into the air.

The only people mad at this are people who haven't actually tried living in a city where you could just walk down to the store when you want something or get on clean and reliable public transit

I don’t even want my neighbor house close to mine fukk I look like having someone live below me?


Me and my wife rented apartments/townhomes early in our relationship because we didn’t know any better. Now that I’m grown with kids there’s no way I’d live in a apartment. There’s no way I’d share a wall with anyone. I get that it works for some people in certain situations, but not for me.

Has nothing to do with where you were raised and more to do with what you prefer. I have a home and a condo and I prefer my condo. But this can depend on the house and the condo.

Threads like this make the coli nervous
Selfish motherfukkers can't see the purpose.
Coli bros were born with a silver spoon
Not calling you Diddy, but you rhyme with Loon
Suburban clowns don't care about the plight of the poor
Thecoli is like Toronto, rac00n capital of the world
I'll choke you motherfukkers til your pants are shytty
The coli is set in the first Resident Evil, Racc00n city
Gougin' out your eyes is a perilous sight
Bunch of Sambo masters, can't none of them fight
Walking for y'all is like pulling a tooth
I must've broke your legs, can't stand you c00ns
I'mma break something off in your tail pipe
When i'm done, something ain't gonna smell right
A car-centric city is not the move
You my son, but the world doesn't revolve around you

High-rise and stacked dwelling is for the college kids or choice less..no self respecting adult will allow themselves to be in such proximity with other human habitat dwellings

Smelling their food, hearing their God awful music, providing their cockroachs refuge..hearing their weak love making..

I need a brick condo in a massive yard with trees and a garden..surrounded by a wall.

Anything less than that may as well go live in a favella or shanty town..

Public transportation for the eyes of many, is a symbol of poverty and drama on some Worldstar Hip-hop fukkery of fighting with strangers. It will take a few more generations to kill that stigma of public transportation and sharing it with other people.
