Are those "Fuck Cars" communities being serious, or is it just a meme? - Divisions by zero

I mean, I honestly don’t understand why anyone made an entire community with the focus of hating cars. Is it just one of those flat earth communities or the “birds aren’t real” type of weird shit? I made one comment about why trains cannot replace cars and oh man the response I get from angry car haters is just so… bewildering.

With what I've seen of the US, I can see why many people over there would unironically hate cars. Car-centric planning has all but ruined the walkability of most US cities to the point of making it almost obligatory to own a car.

Come over to Europe and you'll be able to see the difference that planning has had clear as day.

Yeah, US cities with their broad, flattened and completely empty plains of undisturbed asphalt always have a dystopian touch in my eyes.
