I have decided to become a walkablity extremist.
Cars should not be allowed in towns and cities at all. The only places where they should be at all present is in rural areas where any other means of transportation should be impossible.
High speed rail networks should allow for a trip from Mexico city to Montreal in under 24 hours.
All public transportation should be 100% free.
Lawns should not exist.
It doesn't make sense for single family homes to be built in most American cities.
Architecture must be beautiful again.
Every commercial street should have at least one bench.
Public restrooms must be free, common and accessible.
The pigeons are not enemies. The pigeons are freinds.

I would love to move away from the city and suburbs and find a quieter place off the beaten path. Then, the woods and hiking trails would be in my backyard. 🥰

one thing tumblr is so so real for romanticizing is having a little apartment of your own that you fill with things you love. that shit rocks
#feeling extra joyous this morning about my little sun filled apartment in a 100 year old walkup#right in the heart of the city with every store i could ever need within a fifteen minute walk

America is walkable!
If you have a spare six months to walk it, of course.
It took me a day under six months to walk the eastern coast of America, and while this might be an exaggeration to what some people say about America being “walkable” it took me through the exact kinds of towns that OP talks about.
Towns with populations in the double digits that survive off of hunting, gardening, and a single dollar general three towns over. Towns that don’t make enough money to repair the roads, let alone have a transit system. Towns that aren’t populated in the winter, because it’s too hard to get food or healthcare there. I saw the complete desolation of the American countryside, towns that had been abandoned in the 1950’s, rotting factories and storefronts that hold no jobs or supplies.
On those old mountain roads we’d sometimes cross, there was a 75% chance it was once a forestry road that hadn’t seen a vehicle in over thirty years. You think the people who drive those gravel dirt pits to go to Walmart once every two months have access to a metro?
American cities can be converted into walkable ones, if we focus on it. Places like Amsterdam are a good example of changed infrastructure from a vehicle centric 1970’s to a bike friendly today. YouTube channel Not Just Bikes and Strong Towns go into more detail about it, and I would highly recommend them, and highly recommend locals in cities to get into things like public transport, bikes, and local politics.
But rural America is a beast that will not be tamed, and anybody who says they can fix the nothingness of it is very, very wrong.
“America IS walkable, you’re all just lazy” my childhood home was an hour from the nearest hospital (by car)
#jube rants#not just bikes#strong towns#walkable cities#fifteen minute cities#sorry op you made great points and I get mad when people think they can urbanize rural areas as easily as a country one fourth our size

Gonna be commuting to the city this year for our classes and dad is already telling us of like five different stations we can go to to get to our school from the main city and we have no clue how to tell him we literally went over yesterday and got down a good route with our social worker and adding more to the whole thing is very overwhelming.
#he’s telling us there’s a train from the ferry far away to the school. the ferry we are not going to take#and that we have to switch over to the light rail from there .#which he said is a ‘shady station’ (we go to this station every time we’re in the city) nd we told him#the route we planned doesn’t even stop there (not that we care)#and he said well I just find it interesting#he then told us there’s a train which takes us to our brothers collage which is about over an hour away#and well. when will I ever need that. to get to my school which is located fifteen minutes away from the ferry#he has a tendency to add so much extra information that just overwhelmes us an ultimately confuses us more than anything#we have a better time in the city when we plan our routes >_>#— we got lost last time we took his route

15 minute cities disgust US conservatives because they need cars. they’re too important as a status symbol & they serve to keep society segregated. being stuck in traffic for an hour is the price they happily pay to not have to walk near groups of people they fear and hate
Shaun (@/shaun_vids)
"you won’t need to drive everywhere!" sounds like a bonus to reasonable people but to a conservative you may as well be trying to sell them on being thrown to a pack of ravenous wolves
union labor with American characteristics (@/ntsfwrk)
Anyone who thinks that driving is correlated to freedom has never had to drive anywhere near a major city. Freedom is having the choice to take the train instead of needing an expensive vehicle that’s more dangerous, inefficient, and stressful to operate.

[Image Description: snippet from the Wikipedia article for "2024 United States East Coast wildfire smoke", that says "The wildfire smoke has encouraged several conspiracy theories, including some associated with QAnon. Far-right media personality Stew Peters wrote that the smoke is a directed-energy weapon. Other conspiracy theories referenced include that Canada is using a flamethrower drone (another theory spread by Peters), Antifa is setting Canada ablaze, the New York government is seeking to use the smoke to implement lockdowns, the smoke is a precursor to a potential alien invasion, the smoke is being used to create 15-minute cities, and that Canada is creating a solar blackout.[22]" End I.D.]
People are stupid
#canadian wildfires#East Coast smoke#image described#conspiracy theroy#also. oh no the horrors of a fifteen minute city. i guess. whatever#qanon
