Americans have done nothing but complain about traffic for DECADES but when you go “ok. what if we weren’t forced to do all that car-centric nonsense then?” suddenly everyone would rather die than have more than one way to get from A to B

#several things to add in the notes bc i dont want this to be a long post #one: traffic has been the butt of jokes in comedies since like the 50s #if you watch office space the 90s movie within the first 20 minutes theres a joke about #how awful traffic is #second: why people start talking about public transit or walkability #they act like theres a second amendment for cars #like no one is trying to take your car away #were just offering you MORE CHOICES #third: the argument that 'cars = freedom' and 'public transit = gov control' is bullshit #because who the fuck do you think decides where the roads go?????#the roads that ppl complain are garbage congested and poorly maintained anyways???#D: traffic isnt the only problem #theres tolls there metered parking theres FINDING a parking space #theres the accidents the road rage the drunk driving #the pollution pollution noise pollution #dead animals in the road #also the fact that you cant even take a break when ur travelling #like you have to constantly be ON #theres no room in american (work) culture to turn your brain off #EVER #i started rambling about other stuff lol #also yes i did the one second fourth D thing on purpose #kind of a reference to that home alone joke cause im in a silly goofy mood #what am i even talking about anymore
