Then seal the ends.

I mean, leave ladders to escape. I don't want to murder people. I'd just like to bury all the cars is all.

And in effect still murder people by lowering their standard of living.

Holy crap, dude. Obviously I'm not actually literally suggesting we should just bury all cars with the people still inside them. Long term cars are actually terrible for standard of living, but there needs to be a rational transition and effective mass transit in place before we start getting rid of cars. It is stupidly, ridiculously obvious that no one in their right mind would actually want to bury people alive for doing the only things that work with our current terrible transit system.

Maybe don't just go around assuming everyone who says anything you don't like is a monster in a medium famous for it's lack of a serious tone?

Well, yeah. That's why it would be nice to work on walkable infrastructure isn't it? Because then we can reduce cars without lowering anyone's quality of life. That's the whole discussion.

Lowering the standard of living in that way is murder? That sounds a bit melodramatic. You're probably even saving people since there are less traffic accidents.

Also speak for yourself. For me, not having to drive means a better quality of life.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
