     Why do I care about foot distance when I own a car and the infrastructure in my region is designed to be used by people who own cars? Anyway the distance is 2mi.

     Europeans are correct to say that American suburbs basically require car ownership, but the complaints about time spent to get to a store are way overstated, exaggerated even. Earlier in this thread I pointed out that the nearest grocer is 5min away by car. Turns out, it’s the nearest two grocers, and they’re not situated in the same spot.

     Having a car is objectively better than not having a car. Having more living space is objectively better than having less living space. This is the hill Yurokeks have chosen to die on.

     @NEETzsche @kallisti @Nelenese @fuggy I don't know what a Yurokek is, yeah having a car is objectively better but it's also objectively better to have a store close to you instead of in the middle of a city far away

     @NEETzsche @Nelenese @fuggy @kallisti don't know what the situation is in London but living in a house or apartment that is in walking distance to a store and in general the city is objetively better than living in a dystopian looking neighborhood completely detached from the rest of the city

     I mean it’s objectively better than living in a 650 sq ft apartment and being directly reliant on a public transit infrastructure if you want to leave your neighborhood.

     @NEETzsche @kallisti @Nelenese @fuggy that is, if you can even buy a house. I'd rather live in a European-style neighborhood where stores are close and you don't *need* a car and only use it if you don't feel like walking that small distance or if you have to bring a lot of stuff over. you really don't rely on public transport, and in a lot of European countries it's sometimes lackluster. maybe in countries like the Netherlands where they have no space for cars but everywhere else not really.

     @kallisti @NEETzsche @fuggy that's why amazon or food delivery services literally have a strangehold on american life despite it being so young. if you wanted to eat out or buy something, just walk out the door and you'll be there in 10 minutes. for americans, it basically requires a car because it's literally dangerous to be outside and long distances opting most people to just simply have it come to them.
     It's also why people are fat. So sedentary.

     @kallisti @NEETzsche @fuggy i remember having to go down a highway twice to get a haricut in american suburb. 40 minutes drive or over 1:20hr commute to simply get to the nearest commercial district to have the privilege to get $10 dollar haicut thanks to american urban sprawl.

     >there’s a scale difference in europe

     And we arrive right back at commie blocks vs suburbs. The whole point of suburbs is there isn’t that scale problem, but you’re also pretty close to a city.

     @fuggy @NEETzsche also re: public transport v cars, in most countries with decent infrastructure you can go anywhere in cities for a fraction of the cost. tokyo metro was super cheap, london underground is a decent price and def cheaper than a car in london. countries with good trains (not eastern europe! not eastern europe!) also tend to get you there faster than taking a car (esp to popular locations, try driving to london during commute hours vs by train)

     @NEETzsche @kallisti @fuggy dude, Cities are the cultural and economic powerhouses and are the beating heart of a society; they ARE the epitomized representation of what society is and stands for. Trying to segregate yourself from the city is often naive, for you need to segregate from wider society. Every trend and value of a city will inevitably trickle down into your bubble even if you don't desire it, it's just a matter of when.
     "My city is degenerate and full of crime" means that your society is degenerate and full of crime, you just choose to live far enough away from wider society to choose not to see it. And, as of 2023, America is a incredibly materialistic and soulless and spiritually dead country.

     I lived in a high crime city in a 700sqft apartment while I was in college. Saw things like knife fights outside of my apartment routinely. Neighbors had various kinds of vermin and no matter how much I cleaned I kept having to deal with them. Yes, this is typical of city life globally.

     @kallisti @NEETzsche @fuggy I literally had people drive to parks have the privilege of *walking* to get themselves to exercise.
     I remember walking from school back home since I didn't have a car nor a drivers license and wanted just to test the distances. 3 sodding hours just for a one-way trip, let alone commute. half the time there weren't any pavement/sidewalk so i had to trudge through wet grass, with chaffed thighs and a cramp due to all the height differences.

     @kallisti @NEETzsche @fuggy oh yeah, i also had to walk through highway entrances and intersections of arterial roads since there weren't any crossings half the time which was technically illegal. I literally could've been hit and killed if someone drives a bit funny, which happens very often in my city.
     imagine walking through (pic related) but there's no sidewalk half the time.

     @Alex the difference between urban, suburban, and rural:
     
     Suburban - your neighbors call the cops when they see you pee off the front porch Urban - your neighbors ignore you when they see you pee off the front porch Rural - your neighbors can't see you when you pee off the front porch
