It is a commonly held belief that cars bring freedom and independence, but the reality may be the opposite. Car dependent cities are Orwellian in many aspect...
I never said roads, I said car centric infrastructure. You can have roads without being car centric. And elaborating on that, car centric infrastructure restrict the movement on everyone who don’t drive, for example poor people who can’t afford a car, gas, insurance… or younger people who can’t drive yet, or older and people with disabilities that can’t safely drive.
How does it impede on those who can’t drive? Because they’re not allowed to move as freely as someone with a car? How would taking away everyone’s car help that scenario?
Car centric infrastructure makes everything apart, so you can’t walk anywhere, public transit is unfeasible because the low density, and biking is extremely dangerous. They are not only not allowed to move “as freely”, they cannot movebat all. I don’t know where you get this “taking everyone’s car”, you’re the only one talking about it. You can can have infrastructure that is inclusive to everyone, even people with cars.
Gas companies are the biggest oligopoly. How can you “break free” from those corporations when you depend on a car to basic subsistence?
Yeah agreed, I’m all for getting rid of them too. Restricting peoples movement isn’t the answer though
Like the restriction of movement car centric infrastructure impose kver everyone that dosen’t bow to big oil and big auto.
What? Can you elaborate on how roads impose restricted movement on everyone?
