    As much as I don’t belong in the community

    Why? You sound to me like you belong just fine.

      Because I like driving. I just hate commuting and think surface and higher grade roads and parking is a blight and waste of space. I also believe in proper design. Cities are for people and should be people centric.

        I’m totally of the belief that the fuck cars mentality isn’t incompatible with personally liking cars. If you recognize that forcing everyone’s lifestyle and community space to revolve around cars is unsustainable and undesirable then I’d say that’s basically it, with a bit of sensible road design to prioritize pedestrian safety sprinkled in.

        Because I like driving.

        I do too. I own multiple “fun” cars for things like autocross and off-roading. I just don’t use any of them for commuting (my ‘daily driver’ is a bicycle).

        Trust me when I say, folks like you belong here just fine.

          Meh I’ve met people in either this or the other fuckcars community who don’t believe in interim measures and anything short of tear up all the roads is car brained…

        That’s exactly what all of us are for too. “Fuck cars” doesn’t mean “eliminate all cars and all driving infrastructure”. It means exactly what you said - cars and car infrastructure should be minimized in places where they aren’t good to be.

        That’s basically what everyone else thinks here too my friend, you’ll fit right in.

        I enjoy driving too, the little of it I actually do
