    People should live in cities or not at all…

    … according to Reddit.2 Lemmy.

    The one-size-fits-all mentalities frequently preached here (and there) are where I check out of the political ideology.

      First of all, this is about how suburbs are bad, not about how rural areas are bad. Nobody’s saying everybody should live only in cities.

      Second, the issue isn’t one of “mentality;” it’s one of economics. It isn’t that you’re wrong for wanting to live in a house with a yard; it’s that you aren’t entitled to have the rest of society subsidize your choice.

      Suburbanites are welfare queens benefiting from the most massive Ponzi scheme in the history of the world, and it has to stop before we bankrupt ourselves (let alone destroy ourselves via suburbs-induced climate change).
