    …and that means you need to use trucks 3x the size of a normal car, with double the noise output, half the efficiency and four blindspots the size of a child?

      They’re agreeing with y’all tho?

      “Yay logic!” means they think it’s dumb logic.

        It would be weird for their point to be ironic, because the sentence isn’t actually wrong - the US is not designed around walkable neighborhoods.

          That’s exactly their point though? The people who argue for cars argue that they’re necessary because US cities aren’t walkable, while conveniently ignoring that that’s entirely due to the auto industry and that making cities more walkable is still an option. They’re pointing out how fucked that logic is.

          If that’s not what they’re saying, then they’re a terrible communicator as well as an idiot.

            You’ve taken the “yay logic!” after their period as to mean “all of what I’ve just wrote is a criticism of the lack of logic inherent to this point”.

            I’ve simply taken it as a reply to OP: “this explanation I’ve just given is how things work, yay logic! (as opposed to your post, OP)”

            Which interpretation is correct? Only they know. Either way, not worth diving deeper into this chain.

            EDIT: Just look at the guy’s comment history. My interpretation is correct, he truly believes what he just wrote, he was arguing for it - not against it.
