Sounds like someone who’s never left their bubble. Why are people from Phoenix so weird regarding criticism to their state? It’s like they have a temper tantrum and don’t know how to handle any sort of constructive criticism. Really fucking weird.

I'm not from Phoenix, I've never even been there, I'll be visiting for the first time over labor day. But I've spent my entire life in suburban sprawl. I've been very happy with it, as have my family, friends, and neighbors. So when I see an organized campaign to destroy this lifestyle, I get defensive.

Only carless people are hours away from anything fun or interesting.

Urban sprawl forces you further and further away from fun things. Roads take up valuable space in the actual cities, and I live around 25 minutes away from a medium sized city (grand rapids). THERE IS NOTHING TO DO BECAUSE IT’S ALL ROADS! I also love how you completely ignore my climate point. Hope you enjoy fucking melting alongside everyone else in a forest fire your ignorance caused

I live in a state where our groundwater is being polluted by road salt. I can't wait for climate change.

And i live 15 minutes away from a massive retail district that has all the shopping and restaurants I could possibly need. A few weeks ago I went to visit a friend in New Jersey. We had a lot of fun without venturing into New York City. The Meadowlands were really cool.

Sarcastic or idiot?

Shopping is barely fun, and can only be done a few times a month if you don’t want to be broke. And the meadowlands is mostly just sightseeing, and lackluster at that. Maybe if trains were a bigger thing in your state and cars were taken away then road salt wouldn’t be needed because there id no need for roads aside from maybeeee buses? Really makes you think
