For as long as most Americans can remember, the car has been the embodiment of the American dream. But with more than 250 million cars and trucks on the road, Americans have become slaves to this freedom. How can we reserve the ravages of suburban sprawl?

Talk about missing the point. Nobody wants to take your car away dummy. What people want is the OPTION to walk instead of RELYING on a car to complete the simplest task. Kids to be able to socialize, get to the theater, ice cream stand or football game without parents having to constantly chauffeur. People to be able to congregate in a social meeting place on a Friday night like a square(or piazza), without having to drive home drunk. You'll still have your car, you'll just put less miles on it.

@DimitriNakos So you did start the dialogue with "f*** all you people trying to take my entertainment", which was absurd to begin with and still fail to explain how that's going to happen by returning to traditional neighborhoods. I'm not trying to sway your opinion, only your own research and observation will do that. If you're going to START a conversation with f*** you instead of constructive input, expect similarly infantile responses.

@Bills350Z

Stop crying over my opinion. And no actually I'm fit and keep active thanks for worrying. You shouldn't attempt to put someone down when you are trying to sway their opinion it's makes it rather ineffective. The only benefit I see from public transportation is less horrible drivers.

[Bills350Z]

@DimitriNakos But you did say "f*** all you people trying to take my entertainment".

You'd rather drive. Great. Now how exactly would a traditional neighborhood stop you from doing that? I'm a HUGE car enthusiast myself but also enjoy the freedom of choice in transportation. While the U.S. suffers from being the fattest and most oil dependent country in the world, you'd actually fight for the status-quo. You must be fat and lazy.

@Bills350Z You are absolutely correct. We need town squares, "centrums", people friendly spaces, our society has gone mad, we accomodate cars instead of people! This is madness. We have destroyed our buildings, our heritage, our cultural identity, for this sickening sprawl. Thankfully we have saved South Beach and some of our Art Deco bldgs here in South Florida. We still need cable cars, sidewalk cafes, parks, trees and people spaces. We need a New American Revolution! Support new urbanism!

Old sayings during American wars...say goodbye to the farmer's son who went to france! Something sorta like that...:)

[DimitriNakos]

i didn't miss the point i would just rather drive. I've been in Europe for the past 6 months with public transportation and its ok but I would still rather drive in the US.

[alexcheetah79]

Damn if all chevy's still looked that nice why would you not want to drive?

[paratrooper6]

I don't like cars. I'm 6'7" and they're all too fkn small!

[DimitriNakos]

You can walk to the grocery store I'll be driving my M3 laughing at you. Driving is the shit and fuck all you people trying to take my entertainment.
