    This is precisely how the real world works, unless you live in under a dictatorship of capital so brazen they have even taken the concept of a livable city away from you.

      This is precisely how parts of the real world work, but guess what? There’s a fuck ton of places that are not like that, so why just pretend that isn’t the case?

        I mean, this is the premise of the original comment here. That there still are backwards-ass places where people have to own a car and drive, when much better forms of transportation exist.

        They didn’t pretend that, they literally just told you exactly why it isn’t the case.

        You were the one who said that it isn’t how the world works, when it literally is.

          It’s not how the world works though, only select parts. Saying the world works this way implies it does for everyone.
