This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Simcity/Cities Skyline players too.

Can appreciate the sex appeal of infrastructure while also recognizing its stupid and shouldnt exist outside of a video game :D

Wasn't SimCity the game series that basically cheated and massively scaled down streets and parking spots because they realize exactly no one would like this even remotely realistic?

In the past we used to design our cities to be walkable because there was mo other sensible way. Now we build for cars and everything at the human level ends up far away separated by endless parking lots.

There still is no other sensible way. We just gave up on that part...

To get from 6 oclock to 10 oclock you only need to cross 14 lanes, including two ~~slip~~ murder lanes.

I lived on an intersection like this for a while and I felt like I was going to fucking die every time I had to cross.

I watched this youtube a while back about how bad our streets are designed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORzNZUeUHAM

This is the same guy. Tweet is from "Strong Towns" and video is from his "Strong Towns" series.
