People want us to just transform how we live way beyond our means to do so. Of course having great public transit is key and not having every city basically one big parking lot. It sucks. But you wanna let these rich fucks control it and it will never be affordable and literally people living is the biggest carbon emitter, give it a break

pretty sure the earth being overpopulated by chinese and indians is having a more deleterious impact on our societies than cars Yeah, you’re pretty sure of a lot of things that have absolutely no basis in fact.

i’ve lived in the same brooklyn neighborhood for over thirty years and i’ve watched it change from an eyetalian majority to roughly 50/50 eyetalian/former soviet union populous (all of whom assimilated long ago) to currently being predominantly chinese and mexican. i can tell you straight up that certain cultures just don’t really contribute anything of value and are only making life uncomfortable for people, and communities practically unrecognizable; in addition to a slew of other problems they bring like not assimilating at all. it’s a tough pill to swallow but this is just the way things are sometimes, i’m not the first to say this and i won’t be the last. i'm not sure how some people could view this as a net positive.

the lives of the suburban “middle class” are subsidized by the working urban poor, not just monetarily but in terms of health. If you got a classroom full of kids with asthma, it’s pretty easy to narrow down exactly where the school district is. If we wanted to turn that around today, we’d have to regulate owner-operator trucking out of existence, which is one of the greatest drivers of socioeconomic mobility for adults without a college degree.

At no point in American history has the ethnic composition of urban neighborhoods been stable. Borders have been porous for most of the country’s history. And Mexicans have far more in common with your average “assimilated” white American than someone from soviet slavic countries. Like, come on.

"The Chinese taking over our legacy eyetalian neighbourhoods and keeping to themselves" is significantly less of a problem than pretty much every other urban and suburban planning failure. Giving a shit about the place you live is generally how you make good neighbourhoods. A major part of helping people to give a shit requires an upheaval in planning and legislation to make places desirable without exclusivity. There aren't really a lot of people moving into places and (willingly) staying there for decades at a time because buying/renting etc isn't really desighned that way anymore, or done in a way where tenants aren't bled dry of their savings.

Like, come on. you say this like it’s a good thing. well, the borders are porous so let’s just leave it that way. that makes perfect sense and it totally isn’t hurting the historic cultural makeup of america. mexicans don’t have anything in common with anyone other than mexicans, that’s why less and less of them are assimilating than previous generations.

yes, decades of shitty urban planning centered around the car and the big box store stretching back to the highwayfication of America following the second world war was all a ploy by the Chinaman
