I would make personal motor vehicles illegal if I could ngl
too much fast, cheap, unhealthy food
It started in Philadelphia and it worked there
But then they copied it across the entire goddamn country
That makes even less sense in Canada than teh US.....
No, grid pattern city planning
and not enough exercise
Cars dont make us fat
our food does
or in other words: too many calories in, not enough calories out
It encourages motor vehicle traffic and impedes human foot traffic meaning the average person has the one major period of physical activity in their day, travel, reduced to a period of sitting
Which means further deprivation of physical activity
Which is why Yankees are fat
The food as well
I agree though, we have almost no conception of a walkable city in the US because of the planning
And it makes us fat
Which is REALLY odd when you consider these cities were planned BEFORE motor vehicles.....
Some of them
Infrastructure is continually being expanded
DFW wasn't

These roads weren't always here and its not like they just stopped developing urban areas 100 years ago lol
DFW is like: "don't have a car?"
FUCK you
i used to study urban planning quite regularly, at the hobby-ist level, but i stopped when it finally dawned on me that all these places did was attract the most pozzed people on earth. Literally, and figuratively pozzed. now i don't give a shit
yeah, they are designed by people who dont live in the real world.
I dont care much about urban planning, cities should be commercial and cultural conduits with a permanent population no greater than 50,000 individuals
The majority of occupants in any city should be transitory
We must become agrarian
Wait..... max pop of 50k and NO personal vehicles? You know that is completely unworkable right?
Still, the infrastructure just has me in awe a lot, to think that this exists as it is in so many regions of the world, because of the average European man and his labour

He's got the conversations going
lol, jf told the story of "babygottbach"
Well that's basically how US cities are. Economically concentric. And it leads to sprawl and cities that take an hour to drive across
