thinks cars pay for roads lmao, show me a solvent transportation department! Every mile driven is $5-10 of public expense, and only maybe a dollar is paid by the driver. But to collect this sweet subsidy, you need to bring a car. Price of entry to society 🙄 Drivers who talk like this just mean they want to keep "those people" [the un-car-laden] out of the neighborhood.

@enobacon@urbanists.social There is a kernel of truth here, although his statement about "go ride in the mountains" goes against that kernel of truth. Riding for sport/leisure on roads that don't have room for cars and bikes to safely share in places that people probably do need to use cars and trucks frequently is pretty annoying. The answer is *not* buying more cars, it is to give good facilities to everyone. That doesn't mean every country road needs to be duplicated with a nice bike path. But some do.
