You really think it's not possible to buy food without a car? Classic American, claiming X thing is an impossible pie-in-the-sky dream when there are loads of other countries that do X thing just fine.
- dgfitz 2y agoI had groceries delivered today actually… a car drove them from the store to my home. What the fuck are you on about?
- PsylentKnight 2y agoI walked to get groceries today, so I guess we're even on the anecdata In cities that aren't completely car-centric and have mixed-use development, you don't need a car to get groceries, because everything is close enough to walk. Again, plenty of countries do this just fine, proving it is not impossible.
- dgfitz 2y agoNever said it was impossible. It’s not the reality that we live in. Most of the world is not a town or city of temperate climate where everything is within a half hour walk or bike ride. I will never understand how this point is just glossed over and excused away. Ignoring the boundaries of reality doesn’t make said boundaries magically go away.
- therealdrag0 2y agoYou seem to be assuming the way it is cannot be changed when much of the relevant factors are human choices that can be done differently. I love my car but I’m really confused why you’re so aggressive about thinking cars are the only way to live.
