>i need groceries, I'm gonna get in my car and drive to a supermarket because walking is not allowed >we have more freedom than euros btw
>>224501656>walking is not allowedI'll never forget the day the british banned the use of our legs, 7/11 never faggot
>>224501656>I need groceries, I'm gonna sign a contract
>>224501656>i need groceries, I'm gonna get in my car and drive to a supermarketi do this
>>224501687>
>>224501656Byeh freedom to drive where ever I want stupid euro can't afford a real big american car and get sum real food, gawd bless
>>224501755No god damn commie sign tells me where I can and can't walk. I'm going to take an air conditioned bus but no god damn sign tells me what to do.
>>224501656My forefathers died so I wouldn't have to walk
>>224501656>I LOVE hauling 6 bags of groceries 2000 steps home every week because FUCK CARS o algo! *collapses from heat stroke*
>>224501866>2000 steps is a lotameriblob moment
>>224501866that's not even a mile
>>224501656There's nothing more american than driving 15 miles to buy a single pack of hotdogs, smokes, and a single energy drink
>>224501866i hate it, i only walk to the store if im drunk
>>224501866I just go like 500 meters and carry stuff in my backpack like a normal person, who the fuck drives to get groceries unless you live in the middle of nowhere then it's understandable
>>224501755Is walking forbidden unless specifically allowed or is that because all roads going there are motorways?
>>224501937I will drive down the block to skip a 3 minute walk to get a pizza from 7/11
>not living above the grocery store >not shopping in your old sweatpants, bathrobe and slippers because your apartment building has it's own entry into the store Ngmi.
MY ANCESTORS DIDN'T BLEED SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO WALK LIKE SOME FAGGOT EUROTRANNIES GOD BLESS AMERICA!https://youtu.be/OnQXRxW9VcQ
>>224501899>larping this hard when your cunt is just as car-centric as oursYWNB european
>>224501866We don't carry six bags because we don't only go once a week since you don't need to drive around in your car all the time. People only bring their car when they're making bigger purchases
This is a terrible angle. At no point in my life has walking to get groceries been preferable to driving, even when I was in college and a few blocks away from the store. I don't want to walk to the fucking grocery 3-4 times a week.
>>224501656why would you want to walk to the grocery store every time you had to cook a meal
>>224501755>>224501946metlife is surrounded by highways lol
>>224501866>2000 stepsI walk that easily back and forth to the fridge before lunch, lmao
>>224502593Makes sense but it's still weird to have a completely unwalkable location.Picture vaguely relates, it's from here and walking there is forbidden except the narrow path. Got to have one for those what if -situations.
>>224504250metlife holds over 82,000 people. nobody wants to live next to that and nobody wants that much traffic dropped in the center of their city if they dont have toI've lived in boston and chicago which both have their stadiums in the middle of the city and leaving is always a fucking nightmare, you are stuck in india like conditions on the subway where you can taste the air its so thick and it takes over an hour to get anywhere
>>224504329What I'm trying to say is a place can be slightly remote while walkable.
>>224501656>freedom is footpath infrastructure o algo you dumb americans>*gets arrested for saying nigger once on social media* >*get charged for murder if someone breaks into your house to rape you and you kill them*>*bans political parties for being too problematic*>*pays 45% tax rate that mostly goes to migrants* Do euroids really?
>>224506274>mostly goes to migrantswrong, most of it goes to boomers
>>224502526i drive everywhere. mostly because its my job, if its a shit in namsos or tynset i drive there.
>>224501656>Get to the grocery store>Every product is basically poison
>affordable cars and gasThats LE BAD, you must take (((public transportation))) or uber to move. Who are you to think you deserve a car of your own? U fucking capitalist boot licker, you are nothing.
>>224501724The grandpa is totally gonna be so ok when his grandson comes pack in little pieces. These levels of irony are something else.
there are like 30 stores around me within 1-5 minutes of walking
>>224501687i've an american friend that complains about the issue a lot, they also complained about redditors like you who pretend like it's easy to walk when the city is not designed for it
>>224501866huh? i just have a grocery bag on wheels and go there every few days
>>224506947we are at a point where we are seeing the consequences of our unsustainable way of lifecars and the infrastructure for cars is extremely expensive and the only reason it's "affordable" is subsidies not only that but it's unhealthy for a populace not to walk or bike, and the asphalt is not good at all when it comes to heat
>>224501866> amerilars consuming a bag of groceries per day and thinking 2000 steps is a lot
>>224508029Unfortunately people react with a lot of hostility to fuding public infrastructure other than drivable roads.
>>224508195people are afraid of change even if it's to save their life
>>224508311China style englightened dictatorship might be better desu. They don't listen to dumbasses.
>>224502017holy mother of jesus that's ugly
>>224501866protip if you live close to a shop like most people you don't have to make 6 bag hauls once a week
>>224508454that's just creating another problem down the line
>>224508029>>224508195>>224508311>>224508454>eurofags will live under a post totalitarian dictatorship if it means walkable citiesHoly kek, you really get the world you deserve
>>224501656I'm fairly critical towards my own country, as all patriotic Americans should be.But y'all can't even make U-turns or defend yourselves or (in some places) buy AC.
>Walking in the us.
>>224508029It is the exact opposite. More than half of the fuel price at the pump are taxes. There are car registration fees, weight tax, insurance fees, emissions taxes, etc. All controlled access roads require tools and tools are especially high for trucks. Public transport are the complete opposite, they dont make money, they have astronomical costs.
>>224501866a lot of Yuros live in cucksheds so small they don't have fridges big enough for 6 bags of groceries and consequently do the shopping daily
>>224508537And that's the nicer, more expensive side with balconies. I live on the ugly backside kek.
>>224508652i didn't agree with him>>224508716you have google now, you can't be this misinformedlook up all the ways cars are subsidised in the USA even without google you can reason in your head that multiple people sharing the same ride is cheaper than everyone having their own car that can only carry 4 people (and usually only has one rider anyways)public services don't need to be profitable, just like the fire fighters or police aren't profitable
>>224508896>look up all the ways cars are subsidised in the USAThey are not. This is another urbanist influencer myth>even without google you can reason in your head that multiple people sharing the same ride is cheaper than everyone having their own carPublic transport projects are so expensive that often times it would be cheaper to buy everyone a brand new car in the area. The amount they spent on that California HSR alone could give away free airplane tickets for decades between LA and San Francisco>public services don't need to be profitableBut they have to be reasonably spent
>>224508896>heavily subsidized transport is worse than fully subsidized transport No>its cheaper to use tax money to make the US move away from cars and all walk and use public linesNoThe scale of our infrastructure and how critical it is to keep the states connected via the interstate and have car access is due to our geography and demographics in a why you small euro countries dont really get. Montana by itself is roughly the size of your entire country and has barely 1 million people living it and extremely rural. The kinds of public transportation you are thinking of is impossible for most of the US by landmass
I’m with you ameribros. I had to move to the suburbs to afford a mortgage. I’m on my way out right now to go buy some snus. There’s no sidewalks out here, i have to drive
>>224509177i actually started writing to you, but after rereading what you wrote i realized you are genuinely retarded and if i explain to you you're going to be even more confused so let's notthe good news is gemini or chatgpt or grok are more than patient enough for you to explain at your own pace, or you can prompt them to agree with you whichever helps you best
>>224509349You swallowed the latest urbanist influencer slop on Twitter, hardly something you should feel superior about.
>>224509305if anything trains function better for bigger landmasses than smaller ones, and not like you didn't have trains as the USA used to have trains all over the placeif anything being able to fall asleep on long trips in a train would be better than driving 1 or 2 hours straight daily for the average american
>>224509397But I like this latest trend on the internet where people confidently state things that are outright wrong hoping no one will noticeLike >cars and the infrastructure for cars is extremely expensiveThis is not a matter of debate. Roads for cars are by far the easiest and simplest infrastructure you can build, it is several times cheaper and less complex than railways. I guess you hoped for no one will notice this or what is the strategy here exactly? Railways with equal length have several times and building and maintenance costs, this is not up for debate
>>224501656Walking is communism o algo
>>224509446>as the USA used to have trains all over the placeAnon we still, it is a major form of shipping and infrastructure in the US to this day we just dont do as much public transportation interstate via railway since we have alternatives like flying or driving> anything being able to fall asleep on long trips in a train would be better than driving 1 or 2 hours straight dailyOnce again you do not understand our geography and infrastrucure and trying to maintain such a large amount of infrastructure for massive but population sparse states would be ridiculous
>>224509490Also, social media created a new type of person who want to micromanage the life of others. This anon >>224509446 probably never been to the US, probably does not even know anyone from there or anyone who has lived there. In general probably does not know anything about the country at all that is not some urbanist influencer video. But you are concerned with how Americans in some random state commute? Is this really your hobby? Arguing about how people on the other side of the world commute? Huh? Serious question, what happened to watching movies or playing video games or something? What is with this obsession of micromanaging everything from the other side of the world?
>>224509613you can't use that excuse when china is gigantic and has railsyou simply don't have rails because the oil and car lobbies have too much powerjust like our rails went to shit and why our EVs are ass because our car manufacturers are controlled by boomer retards
>>224504329All of the sports complexes in western Phoenix (Glendale) are technically walkable since we put sidewalks on every road here. I say technically because it's still over 100 F every day even in September. There are also tons of apartments next to that have sprung up since it turns out people do like to live next to where events happen.
>>224509839Once again it is an issue of geography and population density. China has 4 times the rate of population density and mostly lives in Eastern China. Plus not their entire infrastructyre is connected by rail either, their policy is any town with over 200,000 people in it is connected to their national system for public transit this excludes a lot of China by landmass. Something lime 43% of the Chinese population uses cars for daily transport and that changes a lot based on region
>>224509972okay, so use rail to connect your most dense regions?
>>224509839Scandinavian countries are way less dense than the US and have plenty of public transit. That is a better argument that mutts have no retort for other than saying Sweden is muslim or something
>>224510105We do, in a lot of urban centers we do have these like in the tri state area which does have a really high level of population density, we just cant recreate that in the rest of the country as it wojld be too costly and inefficient same as how China also knows not to connect to every town under 200,000 to its national rail system
>>224509305why did the east coast states have to convert to a Montana style of living? our walkable infrastructure was torn down to make room for roads and highways. i don't remember being asked if that was okay.
>>224510278you don't need trains to connect small towns, you can use a bus or a tram to connect a town to the rail system>>224510129people like him love making excuses
>>224510299Probably transportation issues involving shipping if i had to guess. The East coast is still infamously annoying for shipping via semi trucks which a lot of US infrastructure relies on and trying to expand the rail system in just that area of the US was probably deemed as more invasiveJust a guess though. I have no issue with integrating more methods of transport into our infrastructure but there are practical reasons for why our country revolves more around cars which is more complex than "big oil and big car just dont like it" as if our mostly privately owned rail systems for shipping arent their own huge ass lobby. Maybe there can be incentives like in Japan for private rail systems but we are very state dominated when it comes to that kind of public infrastructure
>>224510349We do also have bus systems that go all across the US and connected to rail systems my dude
>>224510129>Scandinavian countries are way less dense than the US and have plenty of public transitNorway is not fully connected by rail systems either due to geographic limitations about 45% of Norway has none, Sweden's geography is perfect for large rail systems meanwhile and their populations still cluster morr densely around certain regions. The US is a country almost the entire size of Europe with half the population with large pockets of extremely low population density covering entire states. Once again its population density and geography
>>224501866Do americucks even buy groceries?
>>224510625True, but even provinces like Härjedalen with it's massive population of 10.000 people still has a commuter train station and local bus lines.And Stockholm, which wouldn't even be in the top 25 cities by population in the US and is build on a bunch of damn islands still has a subway system.

>>224508029>infested with muslims >on the way to becoming a hellhole>but guys you have to cycleGermans are truly lolcows
>>224501866Bodied that europoor freak
>>224510625We don't need high speed rail between Oklahoma City and Cheyenne. But there is no reason why major cities on both coasts can't have metro rail lines with HSR connecting the cities. NYC has the most functional subway system in the country and it is still garbage compared to any modern Asian or European one.
>>224511734vgh it would be kino central. and its just a straight line!
>>224501687Why are Anglos so evil, bros?Was it sexual repression? They couldn't shag their missuses so they vented on Americans?
>>224501724Sad vid
>>224501866Yeah this triggered them kek
>>224511326shittiest vpn award
>>224501656Public transport would be more comfy if they built more small buses to zip you around. Frequent service is between 30 minutes to an hour here when it should ideally be every 5 to 10 minutes.

>>224501656You need to drive to work for your wagie job at 4am to get to your 5am start time sweetie? Your pay does not go above $10 an hour and your nightly differential stays at $3. Your even lucky to have a job in Bumfuckistan, Tennessee because most of the manufacturing jobs were moved to China and the mayor just approved the construction of a new datacenter, slated to move into your neighborhood in 5 years. There's going to be an influx of 10 new tech jobs in your area, so be sure to sign up soon. Oh I'm sorry that application is for internals only, with 10 years of this software thats only been around for 3 years, 5 years of preexisting datacenter experience, a Bachelor's degree, and Comptia A+, Network+, and Security+ certificates in order for you to apply for this entry level datacenter technician at $25/hour. Oh I'm sorry its $19/hour because Rajneesh and Harjeet are applying for this job with H1Bs at a lower rate and the company is going through corporate restructuring at the moment to keep costs down as we are investing a lot into AI because our shareholders want us to. We were impressed by your resume but are sad to inform you that your application has been passed in favor of another candidate (that is getting even less pay), but we hope to see you again soon, goodbye!
Who goes for groceries, we live in 21th century and have delivery nowadays
>>224515318Nigger those are called TRAMS and they need rail and densely built mixed use business and residential zoning that are illegal in most of the US. Those small busses aren't financially viable because you have to pay someone to drive them around and there is no demand in car dependent places outside of university towns
>>224501755why are you pretending that walking on highways is legal anywhere
>>2245016566/10, not enough pointless lies
>>224501755I've seen where this stadium and its roadways are - highways and swamp. Plus, now the stadium can charge $50-250 for parking for everyone!.It's the American way!
>>224501866>t. Lazy fat fuck
It's because of zoning laws so you can't open a taco shop next street to the 'burbs or however the oreo crumbles
