What a dumb community. I’d be fucked without my car, so you’re going to disparage me for using one? Sorry I don’t live in fantasy land where public transport is readily available.

I’d be fucked without my car

And that’s exactly the point of this community. We don’t want you to just stop using your car. We want you to have the choice to stop using the car. We hate the fact that car-centered infrastructure led to the point where you can’t go anywhere without a car.

This is an issue because first of all, cars are the thing that makes traffic as dangerous as it is for pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers. Secondly they create traffic jams and everyone hates those. Thirdly, something something CO2 something something climate change, you know the jazz. Fourthly, not everyone can afford a car, driving lessons to get a licence, petrol and car insurance.

I could keep going but I hope you see why infrastructure more centered around pedestrians, cyclists and public transport could lead to safer and quicker traffic, cleaner air, lower emissions and more freedom for those who can’t afford it.

Fuck cars refers to what they caused with car centric infrastructure. The lobbying that reduced that “fantasy” of public transport to rubble. It’s advocating for people centric cities.

At least check what is about before getting offended.
