Stuffy middle class on up white people killed cities. Stuffy middle class on up white people killed care culture. Stuffy middle class on up white people killed... just about everything.

All those tropes, jokes, memes and other culture crapping on various slices of that broader demographic don't come from nowhere.

Seriously. I've had more fun on my bicycle than I ever did during my car phase.

Agreed. And e-bikes are not just practical now, they are actually a thrill when climbing hills.

Doesn't have to be just a phase, I love both!

I spent most of my working life doing body work, and then I was a mechanic. Kind of ruined the magic for me.

Bike rack on my Camaro! But I am fine with car culture passing, it makes sense.

I'm more mixed. I love that I live in a very walkable area, and our next move (but not for ~10 years) is hopefully to live carless in a European city.

And yet, I mourn the loss of what we once had, and I'm trying to scoop up fun cars while I still can.

Yeah, I like cars too, but I also find myself wishing they would remove more than just the 1 lane from Grand Ave in Oakland.

I don't think that the new era of 'EV appliance culture' will have any positive impact on urban planning compared to 'car culture'.

There are more vehicles on the roads than ever before, and each of those distracted travellers demands a direct route from home to destination whether they're driving or being driven by a robo-taxi.

I assure you there would be a lot less life in the city if you lived and died in the same village you were born in, like most people through history.

Ok. I’m talking about the concerted effort to kill trains and public transit by the auto/oil industry.

LA was beautiful in the 20s. Could have been a world class metropolis instead of a sprawling hellscape of seven lane interstates where it takes 1.5hr to travel 15 miles, choked by pollution.

Go watch Roger Rabbit again. Pay attention to the villain instead of the foxy redhead.
