@m @mischievoustomato @animeirl The way I see it the complete destruction of all public space is heavily related to car centric infrastructure which turns a location from an environment into a series of rooms/buildings that are completely disconnected from one another. The world is no longer lingerable but instead everything revolves around getting from point A to point B to complete whatever objective you need to, thus slaughtering the communal aspect of space itself. That isn't the entire reason for the problem, capitalist consoomer culture contributes, but a focus on car infrastructure is a large part
