I've been told that's what it looks like in Europe, except everyone has bicycles instead of cars. True?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Not true. First of all, Europe is not a monolith. Romania is extremely different from the Netherlands. Romania is, by some metrics, more car-centric than the US.

Secondly, even in countries that are trying to make progress towards a less car-centric environment, different cities are moving at different speeds.

Finally, even in cities moving faster away from it, you still have planning, funding and political issues that need to be ironed out.

I noticed you didn't deny the bunnies and pigs running the post office or the cute fox as a mayor. So I'm just gonna say that yeah, it's mostly true.

Of course, we have pigs running the police and government. Super standard :))

Somewhat similar to my wife's home town in rural Ireland.
