Good day!

DISCLAIMER: I have no formal training in anything regarding city planning. I simply don’t enjoy cars that much and I would love to find some discussion and hope among the endless doomposting.

For me, the /c/fuck_cars community (and the original /r/fuckcars) leave something to be desired. Because I have already become “based and trainpilled,” reading through the communities feels a bit like beating a dead horse.

I have heard too much about the Netherlands for one lifetime, as someone who lives in the states. Maybe my perspective is flawed here, but: the Netherlands have a GDP greater than every US state except for 4 of them (California, Texas, New York, Florida), and the Netherlands have less land area than 41 of US states. This isn’t to say that the Netherlands has no city planning feature that should be ignored because they are so unique, but I think that is exactly what the Netherlands are: unique.

Anyway, on to the meat and potatoes!

  • If you had to recommend livable places for like-minded people to move to, what city or state would you recommend for anyone? (it must cost less than both an arm & a leg. One arm or one leg is acceptable…)
  • Which state(s) policy in your opinion seem to be heading in the right direction as a whole?

      I have used the same words you yourself have used (including the highlighted “but”). Will you also go back to Reddit with me?

      Maybe my perspective is flawed here, but:

      I am sorry for my harsh language. The arguments you used about the US being too large or not having enough infrastructure are have been debated to death and has been posted in r/fuckcars in discussion format as well has in meme format, so it was a bit hard for me to believe that you haven’t come across them.

        Thank you for being understanding.

        Will you also go back to Reddit with me?

        Sorry I have something coming up this weekend, maybe we can try for next week? :)

        it was a bit hard for me to believe that you haven’t come across them.

        I genuinely haven’t, but I also haven’t been following r/f*ckcars ever since the City Nerd incident. *shudders*
