they “look down” on those who don’t would be an absurd understatement.

These discussions are never about rural areas. No one is going to a rural town and installing bike lanes. No one is suggesting 20 miles of bike lanes go in where you live. It's always about putting in bike lanes and transit where it makes sense

Some of the chucklefucks in these comment sections act like I’m personally clear cutting the rainforests because I dare to say that I require a car in my current life situation

People are chastising you for arguing people in cities that could easily bike need to drive a car. That's what you're doing. People say we should have bikes and transit in cities and you come out arguing against it

Keep driving your car. No one is taking it away from you, no matter where you live. We just want the option to bike or take transit in our communities. We don't currently have that option because suburban and rural people constantly fight urban transit tooth and nail

That's... not what I'm talking about at all in regards to people talking down about people who live outside of urban centers. There are people out here actively calling people maga chuds based entirely on the environment they live in.

Oh fuck off, I've done no such thing.

You're only feeding my point and getting all bent up about shit I didn't say. Thank you for at least explicitly stating the strawman you've imagined me to be.

Citation fucking needed. How would someone outside one of the cities in question have any influence on those decisions, and more importantly, why in the fuck would they even care?

I personally have the displeasure of knowing plenty of god awful nimbys, and they're all upper class urbanites worried that their little nest egg(s) in the wealthy parts of my local city will lose value.
