Seems like instead of trying to force us all into a liberal mold, we should just be allowed to choose.
Without a doubt. I am all for living in rural settings.
It comes at a cost to taxpayers and society, but those communities normally have an inflated sense of their tax contributions and don't believe their burden on the system.
If the price per capita were considered it could result in far less being spent and more staying in the taxpayers wallet.

Vision Zero can be to our transportation systems what O’Neill’s single-minded focus on worker safety was to Alcoa: the keystone habit that triggers comprehensive change. If we keep people safe on and around our streets and highways, many other good things come along for the ride (pun intended). Vision Zero cities slow vehicle traffic, which brings more cyclists and pedestrians onto the street network, making our transportation system more equitable and affordable while reducing noise and air pollution. “Complete Streets” make our streets an integrated part of our neighborhoods, not a single-use conduit devoted to rapid car travel. These streets strengthen communities by making street and public spaces more inviting and activated. Green stormwater infrastructure such as rain gardens and permeable pavement can be integrated into Complete Streets design to reduce stormwater runoff. Making our streets safe — not just safer, but safe — demands a wide-ranging approach that touches all aspects of the system and leaves no stone unturned.
This sounds based as frick to me.
The car bros have no answers, no vision, no new ideas. They just drone on about MuH fReEdOm with their fingers in their ears.

What is voluntary about our current cities and urban planning?
The bigger question is why are you so angry about this? Weird crusade, bro.

Time to ditch the retarded city planning from the 1950s and embrace the train, bikes, and mixed use developments and neighborhoods.
That ship has sailed. Sailed right after WW2.

We are discussing urban planning here.

In cities with reliable mass transit you can do this. ?
You will always have to plan around mass transit schedules. Even if the wait between one sub/train/trolley is only 5 or 10 minutes, that's still longer than it takes me to get in my car and go whenever I'm damn good and ready. The walk to my car from my kitchen door to the car in my garage is less time consuming as well. And as for the sedentary lifestyle remark, if people want to stay active, there's a million different ways to do that without having to walk to and from public transit.

You’re right about the flooding, I watched a video about why Houston flooded so badly a few years ago, it’s because they’ve covered all the grass with concrete and eliminated the drainage that the ground provides.

Believe it or not, you are planning around traffic, or time parking, or 1000 other variables.

Congrats on being poor and having to live in a shitbox city. The rest of us are doing just fine with our country living lifestyle.

Pertaining to human induced climate change debate, I haven’t seen good evidence for CO2 levels causing temperatures to increase. What I have noticed when flying at low altitude in small aircraft is turbulent air over cleared and paved/developed land on sunny afternoons.
Consider the temperature variability of different surfaces on a hot afternoon…water vs tree-covered ground vs grassland vs cleared dirt vs concrete vs asphalt. I believe if man does significantly affect the climate it’s the development of large swaths of land that can have pretty profound effects on the local environment that has the biggest impact. I can feel it when passing over transitions on the ground.
It is interesting to me this is never discussed in man-made climate change.

JFC. Such a bitch move to immediately cry racism. Urban sprawl didn’t ruin Puerto Rico, corruption by other Puerto Ricans, socialistic labor laws, etc. ruined Puerto Rico. Whine all you want but that’s the truth. I’ve had multiple extortions attempts by Puerto Rican officials. You don’t know what the frick you’re talking about.

New York Times
If the atmosphere is such that people are comfortable enough to shoot up on heroin, steal, and kill, then it's not somewhere your everyday working american.
Curious, was this an attempt at a gocha? If so, it was ill conceived because there are plenty of articles.

The Roosevelt Avenue station in Jackson Heights, Queens, last month was the site of the system’s ninth homicide, when prosecutors say a man shoved Heriberto Quintana, 48, onto the tracks after a quarrel. Most offenses there are more mundane, but their regularity is disheartening.

You immediately went to race in a thread about urban planning lulz.
The thread is about urban planning and how the US exported the car and suburb culture to Puerto Rico.
Stop derailing my thread.

Interesting points here. Do you have any links or articles you could share on the topic?

Should we have exported modern San Fran culture to them? I think they’d choose the one they currently have.
