  • I said a “100% anti-car extremist”, as in someone who doesn’t want any cars. I was raised in a very rural town. There aren’t currently many viable non-car solutions to get to the “big city” where I currently live. How, without cars, would I currently be able to visit my family?

    I am not disputing the negative impacts of cars. I am not your enemy, and you do not need to fight with me.


  • I have a Kia Soul for that reason. It’s small, but can haul a decent amount of stuff. The back seats are spacious enough for my tall friends, and with the seats folded down I can even fit furniture like couches and dressers. It also has a low hood, so I probably won’t be murdering any children. Gets pretty good mileage too.

    I’m not a 100% anti-car extremist, but I definitely wish we had way better infrastructure for public transportation, bikes, and pedestrians in my city. I work just outside the city limits, and my 30-40 minute car commute would be like 1.5-2 hours on a bus. In my current reality I am chained to my car, so I went with one that I felt fit my needs without being horrific.
