\*I don't hate cars*. They are the ultimate vehicle in which to safely explore your environment with every luxury known to man (heating/cooling, recliner bed, media center, massage function, etc.). For getting from A to B and bringing your entire workshop with you, as well as picking up random furniture along the way, there is nothing better than a car.
\*I do hate cities built around cars*. Cities are where people go to work, raise families, hang out, relax, play, interact, share ideas. I.e. a large sprawling community. Making this a dangerous, loud, and (literally) toxic place to do any of these things counteracts the whole point of a community, and just centers a city towards work and an insular home life.
i'm an urbanist and i agree with this; this is exactly what i believe. i actually do like cars, they're a modern marvel, but car infrastructure is the absolute worst thing humans have ever made. it is a nightmare (literally) for me and i hate living in it with little choice to leave it behind.
now that i think about it, i'm sure most smallweb users are the same in many ways, including this one.
