I definitely don’t like it at all, but I’m just a worthless underpaid factory schmuck so I have to live far from work because anything close is pretty much my entire paycheck just for rent…
The US really needs to find a better way to solve this issue, but since we’re all “rugged individualists” things just get built where the owners want and nothing needs to make sense for anyone… Where I currently work most people have to drive an hour each way just to get here. Logistics for deliveries are horrendous. It makes no sense to have a factory where this is, but that’s what the owner wanted…
The solution is to accept a cut in what people think of as “quality of life” but is really just a bunch of wasteful addictions. Myself and half a million other people in my province are living on little more than 13k a year. This is the level of disability allowance here. It also happens to be approximately the world’s median income level.
The world isn’t built for us, but we still manage to survive somehow. (Mostly.) Car culture doesn’t come alone, it comes with unforgivable excesses of conspicuous consumption and materialism. Eventually you won’t be able to afford it anymore, and you’ll have to live like the rest of the world. Get ahead of it and you’ll be better off in the long run.

I understand and can appreciate that kind of tactic, but it’s fucking infuriating that we have to be the ones to suffer a more miserable life when we can’t even slightly reduce not even the quality of life, but simply the massive wealth of the richest people…
Their towers get ever higher, and I have to share a garage “apartment” with 3 other people…
ITT: a bunch of people who like having to spend half their life driving and are upset they can’t spend more
