This is a horror story.

I just discovered this channel and I like it. It’s also on Nebula, so I’ll be watching on there from now on.

    But thats because cars bring in money, walking and streetcars dont. [sic]

    On the off chance that you’re not trolling, it should be noted that Climate Town has an episode on this very subject wherein he demonstrates that walkable neighbourhoods make much, much more money for a city, and that in fact, suburban spaces are a net loss on city budgets:

      I dont troll. I offer viewpoints the average american actually thinks, and people in the echo chamber think its trolling.

      Good video, thank you for sharing! Would be very hard to convince your average laboror of this though. Cars make them money. Whether its the lawn care business (trucks and trailers for mowers), landscaping (vans, trucks), farmers, construction workers, mechanics obviously.

      Also if youre in a tourist area, the cars definitely bring in the money.
