Naw, its because i have no interest in being a sardine in a can. I can't think of a worse fate for me than paying a fortune to live in a tiny apartment surrounded by millions of people I don't know or really generally like. Others obviously don't mind it, but I certainly don't understand it. Not having a yard, not being able to to hit the snowmobile trails from my house, having to run on streets full of people (im a morning runner), the only nature being unnatural ass parks. I shudder just thinking about it. Its not the transportation, its the people, cement, pave and huge ass ugly steel buildings everywhere. It feels unnatural.

Ah yes, the classic mental gymnastics of acknowledging that cities are expensive places to live while insisting it's not a sign that people consider them desirable places to live.

Rural living is very carbon intensive, e.g. because of driving long distances all the time instead of taking transit for shorter distances. The whole point of the article is the fallacy he's falling into, rural areas look green whole cities look like ecological disasters, but per capita carbon intensity is way less and the idea is you sacrifice a few square miles in exchange for being able to leave a much larger area of land alone.

PaladinSolo Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I mean if everyone in the city spread out into 1/3 acres let alone 4 acre plots and cut down all the trees so they could have a lawn we'd have been dead 100 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Speaking as someone who also cannot tell the difference between blue and purple in most situations, I resemble that remark. At least the map didn't use a red-green color grade. That shit infuriates me. Thanks for making your map look like someone threw up on my screen.
