The future is dense, walkable cities.

Less taxes. Which means less money for those mass transit things you champion.

Unless the government decides to tax everyone, and not just drivers, to pay for it.

Great idea! Let's tax everyone MORE just so we can get cars off the road. I'm quite certain the the people will go for it. After all it means less convenience, less spendable income, less enjoyment but much much more government spending and oversight of their private lives.

Yeah, that's a winning strategy.
Falls hardest on the rich and that's the point.

They don't run on fossil fuels?

Unsurprisingly, VinnyVeritASS managed to miss every point the comment they responded to was addressing , while also not recognizing / understanding the current trends in delivery fleets or private delivery vehicles.

Yes I understand that you feel that you deserve a larger slice of someone else's pie. That doesn't make it true, but I understand that you feel that way.
 
Exactly. Why did that happen? Because people didn't really like living like they did in 1919. They wanted more...like space...freedom. Shame on them
Urban parking is a downward spiral. If you tear down a few buildings to make room for cars, there’s less reason to go downtown. Fewer pedestrians mean businesses start to fail. The empty buildings they once inhabited are torn down too and transformed into more parking to try to squeeze a little value out of the land. Repeat for a few decades and what was once a vibrant downtown becomes a sea of vacant parking lots.

If you had asked the people of Atlanta 100 years ago “Should we tear down most of downtown and replace the buildings with vacant parking lots?” they would have said “Hell no!”

But that’s what the relentless logic of urban car culture delivered.
 
I agree with you that the future for some is DENSE, walkable cities. As people become more detached from the actual food supply chain and only expect their meals to come from grocery stores or restaurants they will be more easily manipulated and controlled. Restrict food and BOOM you are in absolute control of the population. A politician's favorite wet dream

Nobody is threatening your banana supply.

The future is mostly farming, ranching, edible gardening, and seafood harvesting. How much food we grow, gather, and catch, and how we transport it determines how much urban population we can have.
Not according to kook enviro-wackos who want to end farming and ranching. Pretty soon we will have Soylent Green for you urban folk.
 
What? Are you talking about the urban folks who pay the taxes to support the Farm Bill, the NRCS subsidies, and other forms of welfare for ranchers and corporate farming?
They should pay them since all they do is draw on the food supply with no effort other than sliding their credit card through the machine at checkout.

Yeah, the welfare ranchers get paid. They get federal and state lands for a dime and a regular diet of susidies so they can wear cowboy hats, shoot guns, become alcoholics, and do the Boot Scoot Boogie.

And then, they bite the hand that feeds them.

You sound bitter and angry that you didn't make a better career choice so you could suck on the tit of commercial and corporate welfare. You'll just have to settle for you government cheese.

I'm doing just fine without sucking on the federal tit like welfare ranchers. No complaints about my lot in life.
