how much do you spend on fuel commuting to the city? that 1M in the city is buying you a lot more than the 600 sq ft.
from your 420k suburban home, what’s the average distances to your: doctor, groceries, place of worship or study or work?
Do you own a car? Whats the median distance of commutes in a typical year for you?
We also shouldn’t forget time cost of your commutes. Median time spent commuting in a year you could have spent doing other things.
Sure i agree with you that suburb is better if you have public transit connecting you to the city from your home in the suburbs and you use it regularly.
About 2k miles a year. I’m my f150 I spend about $800 a year in gas. Maybe 15 minutes a day.
Ignoring every other part of cost of living, it’ll never be even, it’s not even close.
Oh and the time, it’s 10 minutes through my neighborhood. I don’t get on a road with a speed limit above 35 and I have a single stop sign along the way. My daughter is with me, we’re going to daycare, and I’m going to miss it now that bus service picks her up literally in my driveway.
now imagine this same scenario where you have a choice between driving your truck vs. public transit or bicycle infrastructure. Sure you may not use it but others may no longer be required to own a car and drive it for such short distances in the first place.
the net difference of owning a car vs not needing one and hence not owning it goes beyond just monetary gains.
The argument is not one based on changing behavior at an individual level. Its about policy and urban design.
My house was 420k in an upper middle class single family suburban home with 2400 sq ft vs 1M for a 600 sq ft condo.
Eat my ass 🤣
Do you have two gyms and a pokéstop, though?
I’ll take my 911 tyvm
this is the second time i see you and again your take is bad, why?
This guy has fewer brain cells than his country has high speed rail lines. Easier to just block him
i indeed did do that
My take is fantastic. If your only concern is cost it’s clearly cheaper to live in America without public transit. It’s dead simple shit.
Going to start name calling again with nothing to back up your little meme 😞?
Why do you go to the “fuck cars” community, then? If you’re so happy, there shouldn’t be any need to troll.
It’s one of the few communities that regularly pops up 🤷♂️
Just block the community and it won’t “pop up”.
Lmao imagine telling a new Yorker it’s cheaper to live in America without the subway.
That was your take? 🤣👌👍
