Why do people who don't like urban areas think everyone doesn't?

I was going to ask that the other way around....

Why do people who like urban areas thinks everyone else should like and live in then too?

And with the US, depends on your definition of Urban City.

I'd say NYC and Chicago...a typical urban city...lots of high rise buildings, few single family homes.

But some data quoted about the US mostly being urban..will include cities like Houston. Which are decidedly NOT like a NYC...Houston is a huge city with some high rises in the center but there are also vast swaths of single family homes....more like suburbia than a true urban city, but it is still just one city of Houston....although there are suburbs outside Houston too....

If you take out a lot of US more modern cities...from the "urban" definition I think youi'll find the numbers drop as to how many people actually live in a true urban city like NYC, etc.

I'd not consider Los Angeles a "urban city", although it is probably included in the stats.....not everyone shares walls there either, I'd guess most people do not....

Sure, and then in the real world they all get high blood pressure from absurdly long and congested commutes because of car-dependent sprawl.

Funny...I've never run into anything like that wherever I've lived....the US is a BIG place, not everywhere is Los Angeles...

I do NOT want to live stacked like rats.....I do NOT want to share walls with other people.

I feel like that's a step backwards....I lived in apartments as a student in college and just out of college....

Now that I have grown up money, I can afford a real stand alone home. I have a back yard I can plant gardens in, house my big ass wood fired smoker, a Big Green Egg XL also for grilling and space to have friends over for a crawfish boil, etc.....

I have a nice stereo and occasionally I like to exercise its decibel range....

Moving to an apartment would be a major BACK step in life to me.

Thankfully, the US is large enough to support many modes of life...urban, suburban, small city, rural.....

I also like driving cars...I've always bought cars and motorcycles that are FUN to drive, so that every time I fire one of them up...it's an adventure.

I'd hate to think someone or a govt would try to force extreme urbanism on everyone.

What is "ESG" ?

I have a feeling this article might make more sense if everyone knew what this apparent TLA (Three Letter Acronym) stood for....?

Passing unanimously means it's likely veto-proof, and anyway it's hard for me to imagine why you think Trump would want to veto this one.

Social platforms enjoy *some* immunity from being sued over user posts. This could be an attempt to erode that. It is also likely tailored to celebrities or politicians (Trump may be able to sue Youtube / Youtubers who impersonate him thereby chilling dissent) while being ineffectual for actual victims of deep-fakes (doesn't that stuff mostly come from Russia?).
 
The fact that it would have been political suicide to vote against this bill (just imagine the attack ads) makes me legit nervous about where we're headed.

He\s also non-consensual. I wonder if this gives him ideas to sue SNL and any other impersonators he doesn't like (who am I kidding, of course it will).

My childhood introduction to stand-up comedy was Bill Cosby records my parents had so I can sympathize with the idea of "separate art from the artist."

I can't remember which side of the album it was...but, Bill Cosby's comic album "To Russel My Brother with Whom I Slept" is still a landmark rendition of one of the funniest comic bits EVER uttered....

What exactly did he come out to day that made him an "asshole" or divisive?

I guess I missed all that...

Could you imagine a country under president Kamala?

No tariffs, no masked police going door to door, no bombing of fishing boats, a whitehouse with an intact wing, competent government leaders and not DEI hires...

I can imagine it, but I SHUDDER to do so....

Let's see.

Tarrif's....working.

If not for leftist extremists DOX'ing and threatening to terrorize our ICE officers and their families, just for doing their jobs of enforcing laws ON THE BOOKS...they'd not need masks

And hell, what's the big deal? The officers are plainly marked in uniforms/patches, etc.....and just a few years ago, everyone was masked and no complaints then??

Bombing drug boats...I"m good with it.

White House under renovation....it isn't like this is the first presesident to do so...and it's using private funds, so why not?

DEI hires...are you kidding?

Kamala said she'd do nothing different than Biden and that admin was NOTHING but DEI hires...including Kamala her self!

Sure there are a few things I dislike about Trump and his moves...but for the most part I and most all I Know are quite happy with him so far and are finally getting what we voted for in a politician....

I wish the US all the best in that struggle.

Even with the troubles you face at the moment, I somehow still feel that a country that was able to summon the optimism, idealism and confidence that turned the moon from an idea into a place, can probably find their way through.

What problems?

Nothing major going on over here, except we're having to motivate some states to actually follow the law with regard to federal immigration.....

Do you spend all your free time imagining carjacking scenarios that have never happened to you and will most likely never happen, or did someone prepare these contrived grievances for you to complain about...?

No, I just carry a gun with me concealed....and just like the boyscouts used to say..."always be prepared".

You sound angry.

Only when you have zealots trying to FORCE by law having to change for those that aren't ready or just don't want to at this time....

Some people can do better on their own, but even they benefit from the union's work.

I've done well for myself...resume, contacts, work...etc.

And again...as long as I am not forced to join a union nor pay dues....then sure, others can have it, just as long as they don't hamper or bother me.

I'll not hamper or bother them either...how's that?
