The WOKE™ forest is coming to get you! Make sure to stock up on our mugs and vitamins!
Just get a bigger truck and you can park anywhere you like
Serious question here: if one were to hypothetically live far as fuck away from this beautiful image, how would they reach it without a personal car? It's not like public transportation commonly stops at rural distant trail heads, otherwise i would scrap my car tomorrow.
I honestly do not understand the message this community is attempting to make constantly since you all enjoy contradicting each other frequently, and I would like to join your side.
It's all about the right tool for the job. This community largely isn't about rural areas, it's about cities where cars shouldn't be the tool for the job (and in big cities where cars are the most convenient option, it's usually a bad idea that's been designed into the city, not a fact if life as many carbrains believe)
People love to bring up rural areas that are unliveable without cars as if it's a refutation but it's really not the point. Granted those areas could also be much better with a dense walkable old fashioned downtown (like you might find in some rural areas that didn't get redeveloped for car-centric sprawl), most of this movement is about people who live in cities and have to drive because some genius decided to zone all the grocery stores miles away from the single family homes. Or people who have to drive several hundred feet because the city decided it doesn't need sidewalks and crosswalks.
Can you please run for mayor in my town? Tysm
