there's a lot of memeing about "walkable mixed-used neighborhoods" especially by people from the US to whom these concepts seem as impossible as "fully automated luxury communism" or whatever. but i live in a walkable mixed-use neighborhood and it fucking rules. no amount of money would make me move. there is this new strawman of the "obnoxious internet urbanist" who won't shut up about how bad cars are or whatever but the problem is that they (we) are 100% right about everything
in the future, you will see the term "transit bro" or "urbanism bro" used disparagingly by lib bluesky posters who don't believe in anything. it is your moral imperative to attack anyone who thinks urbanism is some kind of elite, out-of-touch flight of fancy
