Imagine being 100% dependent on public transportation in a snowstorm or a flood and buses and trains being delayed/cancelled. Who really want to take a $60 uber to get home?
exactly...like being in Katrina with no boat
Some People are extroverts and literally cannot picture themselves not being in the center of attention at all times. Plus the quality of food is better and fresher in the burbs. Being in front of a bodega or corner store for all my basic needs is
status.that garbage logic is how people around the world have basically lived for thousands of years.
did you read the articles or watch the videos, people have plenty of mobility with the train, bus and bikes. there are even a few parking spaces but they purposely didn't allocate parking for all residents.
what purpose do you suppose they'd use the land for? the vast majority of americans do not grow their own food, they have different types of spaces in the courtyards for their residents. it's more than a decent way to live as proven by the fact that it's more sustainable than any other alternative.
everyone who doesn't grow their your own food all year around is dependent on a system to feed them. these people can walk out their front door a hundred or so feet steps and can be right outside out a eatery or grocery store.

some free bus transportation from 6am-9:45pm if you wanna get around the locol area. I guess after 9:45pm your mobility is limited to a taxi, a bike, a train assuming it runs after 9:45pm , maybe a car you have parked elsewhere and also your legs.

No it is not, they were no stuck in closets up in the air, and they were able to plant food, and raise animals
Stop with the weak arguements.

I’ve been essentially care free since moving to Atlanta last summer and I don’t hate it. Especially dealing with these horrible drivers and traffic down here.

I stay 15 miles from where I work. I love my job but I don’t want to stay in that area. Carless is cool if you can literally walk to work everyday but fukk all that
I stay in downtown Cincinnati. work from home. No need for a car. I do have an electric bike if I need to go further than 5-6 blocks. I like the freedom from car/insurance payments (at least $500/month). I just don’t think new cars are worth it at their current price points. Car payments look like rent
