    Read up on Hunter Thompson and the Freak Party in Aspen. Part of their platform was to tear up the asphalt for the vast majority of surface streets in the city, and just replace them back with grass and have walkable spaces where cars were not welcome.

        I mean they had plurality support the first year they tried it. They almost won. A lot of people think moving away from car-centric cities is a good idea. That’s true even though I agree that OP is delusional about how they propose to do it and how popular they think it would be nationwide.

          Doesn’t mean anything. Trump won majority of the votes, so did Hitler, so did multiple cunts, morons, cretins, criminals, fraudsters, liars, etc - to use one word, motherfuckers. World is full of idiots. Around 40% of the population I recon although it may be more.

            You simultaneously denounce the idea because it would not please a majority, while also denouncing the majority.

            I’m also grieving the failure of an extremely comforting status quo, but let’s keep it clean in the chats. This person isn’t your opponent.
