Comment on The technology to end traffic deaths exists. Why aren’t we using it?
MichaelScotch@lemmy.world 1 week agoLook at the history of transportation in whatever city you’re imagining. Cars took over, but I guarantee that city had the transportation infrastructure you think isn’t feasible. The automobile industry has you brainwashed into thinking cars are the only option, but one just has to look at the history of transportation in any given city to know that that isn’t true.

What does this even mean? Are you claiming all cities had railroad and public transportation hubs prior to cars being invented? I’m brainwashed because I don’t believe you can just seize private property and demolish tons of homes and businesses to build more efficient infrastructure in every moderate to large city in the country? Prior to cars existing, most cities were tiny and people didn’t commute 50 miles for work every day.
Can you point to the cities elsewhere where this transformation has occurred or where this already existed outside of maybe a handful of examples on the entire planet?

Educate yourself. You don’t have to be angry about it. And yes, all major cities had railroad and public transportation hubs before cars took over.

Sure they did, buddy. “Educate yourself” they say just like all those antivaxxers and COVID deniers do when they speak their nonsense. “All cities had public transportation” before cars existed.
Hilarious

You’re seriously attempting to argue with me about whether or not transportation existed before cars?
