        Yeah, and you’re still paying your food subscription, electricity subscription, roof subscription, etc. And if you use public transportation you have to pay your train or bus subscription. That’s not the zinger everyone thinks it is.

    I live in Taipei. It is one of the most dense cities in the world.

    We have an amazing subway system, but I still own a car. I also own a bicycle and a stand-up electric scooter.

    I take whatever transportation is the most convenient. Sometimes it’s the bus. Sometimes, it’s the subway. Sometimes it’s by car. My point is it’s a city infrastructure, not the mode of transportation. If you vote for a government that cares about infrastructure, you will live in the city you want.

    I don’t have a car, I ride my non-electric dope ass bike everywhere, and I listen to old Dead and Phish shows I downloaded to my rooted Android phone.
    We are not the same.

      This. I HATE cities. Crammed up against everyone else, smells, noises 🤮. I’m over 10 miles to the nearest grocery store and all these fuckcars weirdos will do some fucking mental gymnastics to explain a RURAL life without cars. I don’t think a single one of them has been anywhere where there is actual forest between cities/towns. They live in a city with great public transit so that must be how it is everywhere, right?

    Commuting to office (by car) daily is the real problem. Road trips by car are incredibly freeing and not miserable.
