    NIMBY!!

    Where do you place the proper infrastructure then? It’s always going to be in someone’s “back yard” as you put it.

      Well there’s considerable difference between an apartment complex in a suburb not designed for heavy traffic and less developed areas where there’s room for expansion for infrastructure.

      We can’t expand roads in my area, either for an extra lane (which I know is a sin) or for buses because it would be right up on houses at that point.

      However, just a few miles down the road on the main drag, there’s undeveloped land that would be perfect. Build it there.

      When I say “backyard” I mean literally in your backyard. Instead of name calling and downvoting, have a fucking conversation and ask in a respectful manner what somebody means. Stop being a douche because you automatically assume somebody who thinks slightly differently than you is wrong.

        lmao make up your mind

        do you want to have a conversation without name calling? Then leave out the name calling or kindly get fucked

          Yeah, “in stead of name calling, stop being a douche” is not the MOST consistent argument ever 😂

          Tired of being nice. I do it all the time and it’s never returned in kind.

          Lemmy users act like this is a different place, that it’s a more wholesome internet, what a joke. It’s as bad as anywhere else.

            I wasn’t being mean spirited with my original comment, it was a legitimate question. Whenever I hear people say something like “I don’t want that!” I like to find out why. It’s just curiosity. Sorry if it came across mean.
