They want us to live in cramped urban ghettos where our independence is limited and we are easier to control.

I visited Houston once. It was like LA without beaches. All the traffic and smog with none of the hotties in bikinis.

They did have the best roast beef hash I've ever tasted so there's that.

I too am more comfortable in the company of our reptilian overlords.

Thanks, I too looked up the name and then it all fell into place. Hope he finds a nice ‘husband’.

I grew up around Charlotte and visited a lot even I moved to Columbia on weekends.

5 years or so since I was there last. Unrecognizable.

I don’t miss the place at all.

If people wanted to live in those urban garbage dumps they would move there on their own.

"Progressives" and other leftist Libtards always think they know more than you what is best for you!

All these leftists really want is to live on a college campus forever. Everything is sooo hard once we have to make an actual effort to live adult lives.

We need to make cities and suburbs more like college so we never have to grow up. And jobs need be like college too, overpaid work/study so we have plenty of time to scroll our phones while we sip our soy latte.

Bunch of shining wits as Reverend Spooner would say.

I think this guy would love Europe.
Perhaps he can apply for deportation by President Trump in 2025.

“Too many?”

Liberals believe themselves to be the arbiters of everything everywhere in perpetuity.

I caught that too. Another leftist punk trying to boss people around.

Funny that the generation raising this issue constantly walks around with smartphones in their hand.

Walkable towns would be a lot more tolerable if I only had to live amongst civilized, law-abiding people.

Unfortunately, aside from the peaceful, verdant college campus, most "walkable spaces" are the abode of muggers, street thugs, homeless junkies, and violent schizophrenics.

We are still a big enough country for people to live in the kind of area they want to live in. This “density” thing has been politicized, but the difference seems to be between older communities that were built on a more human scale and newer communities that do seem like they were built for cars. You can certainly disagree with his love of “density,” but it’s not an all-or-nothing thing. Communities have to juggle to combine the needs of cars with the desire for more accessibility on foot. BTW, Living in a rural area may mean needing a car, but those areas weren’t “built” for cars.

Like I said, leftist-run S-holes, otherwise that mode of living would be perfectly fine for me.
