    Why can’t cars be the solution? What if we developed cheap, electictric vehicles? You know, like electric bikes, or scooters. This is all theoretical, but some day these could be seen all over!

    Maybe with solar power, and other renewables, we can forge a future with cheap tech at the forefront!

    No? Okay. I’ll see myself out. Don’t worry, dreamers like me can just find the nearest ditch to die in, rather than you all be wrong about “cars”.

      Why would they be? You entirely missed the point of the meme lol there is no one solution. Sure it would be great to have cheap electric vehicle for some usage. It should not be the default and especially not a requirement. How hard is it to understand?

      Also the pre-emptive strike doesn’t help to express sympathy towards your idea.

      You would still have to develop good biking infrastructure.

      Also, what if people aren’t physically able to take the roughness that can come with riding a bike/scooter (I ride my bike as my main form of transportation and bad roads can be really aggressive) In that case you would also want to throw in a good transit system people could reliably use and get to places at a reasonable time (my local transit system is so bad that it would take an hour and a half to get to school, whereas it takes about 40 minutes by bike)

      And at the end of the day, supporting a multitude of different transport methods from walking to high speed rail is beneficial for everyone regardless of thale situation we end up in.
