    It’s the other way round. Individualism prevents communism. People drive cars to prevent them from voting for those parties.

    Downvoters, do you think all that bad urban planning is incompetence of the specialists while every comment section is filled with geniuses who for some reason are enlightened about public transport but never in the position of power to bring it to life?

      No, they’re just narrowly constrained as to what they can do eg. They cant knock back a Cosc-Co because there’s no train station so, you end up with a sprawling shit hole as de facto

        I don’t judge. I just care about the mechanisms.

        It’s turtles all the way down. At some point, somebody makes a decision against public transport.

        Thanks for the link. Frustrating content but good.
