They probably assumed this is like a theme park or something and not an actual city that people actually live in year round. Cities having nice, people friendly places away from cars? Who’s ever heard of that?
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
Like, about a hundred people? Okay. As long as my house is far away.
Literal millions of them? No thank you.
Yeah that's exactly how human civilization has worked. Little known fact, athens was basically a rural town of about 200 people and each dwelling was about 2 miles apart. The ancient Egyptians are so overrated. There were about 120 of them. TV really lays it on thick with Manhattan. Only about 75 people live there in reality, and most of them live on farms!
I'm of the opinion that human civilization was a bad idea.
Perhaps try giving it up, then? You can start by getting rid of your smartphone, then Internet. Electricity, plumbing... Pretty much every comfort...trade.
Oh what's that? No, to all that? That's what I thought. It is not civilization you dislike. You like all the sides that benefit you directly. You just have so little empathy that the idea that another human might inconvenience you for a moment with their existence is just beyond your ability to tolerate. A selfishness so extreme, being a hermit sounds enticing if it were just more convenient, eh?
