@lemm.eeThere’s no good reason for these pieces of shit to exist.
Have you considered the profits of the auto industry?
Not really, cars are faster and more deadly. People had to be somewhat careful. The auto industry invented a slur (jaywalking) to convince people the street was no a place for people outside of a car. Look up old footage of cities, people are everywhere in the street.
Wouldn't it actually be water valleys? If you are standing on the shore and watched a boat go up a water mountain at the horizon it would stay visible, there would have to be a valley for the boat to disappear.
I think this is in response to stupid large truck vs kei truck thread that made the front page. All the car brains are going on about how everyone ever needs a stupid large truck to tow 85 boats at once
Given the usage patterns, most people in the US do not need large trucks. They have been convinced that need them because the auto manufacturers make a lot of money selling trucks.
The argument against mixed use is often that they don't want to be forced to live in a mixed use area, but the same people are fine with forcing everyone to live how they want. Most likely they only want single family homes because they have never experienced good mixed use and can't imagine how great it is.
