Every attempt to fix this is met with boomers screaming about ruining the unique character of the neighborhood.
The leaded gas made them easier to brainwash.
Sad how car citric our cities have become. But even worse was in Yellowstone and you can’t get anywhere without a car and traffic backs up and you stuck while everyone sitting in their running cars spraying the shitty fumes in the air.

this is a certified r/urbanhell moment
r/suburbanhell?
Without looking, I’m pretty sure that’s Houston, TX near the arena (whose name now escapes me after almost a decade away). I moved to a place with great public transit and could never go back to driving all the time.
What are some good public transit places in the US?
Where is my YUROP, with memes that were a bit to precise for me sometimes to understand
Land Value Tax would fix this
Removing mandatory parking spaces would also help.
Yeah no, European tech wages are garbage. I also love cars, we have big open roads here.
I am a bit jealous of the autobahn though.
It’s odd to see people hate cars. How you can have no interest in driving or your car is weird.
driving my car includes:
- paying money to put gas, oil, tires on the car for the rest of my life
- paying some dickhead insurance fees monthly
- sitting in traffic
- risking getting a ticket from any power tripping cop who wants to make up a reason to test if I have a dashcam
- risking getting injured/murdered when any other idiot nearby in a car does something stupid at 60mph +
- if I do get injured, I get to pay for that too cause MURICA
- a notable lack of anything fun and cool like open windy roads to drive on or safe areas to do donuts
now, do you really think most people like not having a choice about needing all that just to get basic life stuff done? ‘Driving my car’ isn’t some fun hobby for us, it’s a bullshit thing we’re coerced into because our country was run by oil tycoons who hated public transport.
oh forgot one:
- dealing with a generation of old people who have been permanently stunted by leaded gasoline, making them more likely to be stupid, angry, and violent.
