I never hear my neighbors in a rural area. This community is so blatantly full of shit it's laughable. As if you don't deal with white trash or drunk drivers anywhere else. Instead in an apartment the white trash are banging each other with the windows open and getting arrested at 3 am with 8 cop cars flashing their lights in the parking lot.

No one listens to ideas from fuckcars-type people because they're gaslighting lies that no one except other niche weirdos sympathizes with. Please do keep trying to tell rural people how much worse their situation is than living in an apartment. You don't sound like a condescending jerk at all.

You could have just admitted there are pros and cons to both but instead you go on this gaslighting crusade to try prove someone else's lived experience wrong. Good luck with that approach, no one is listening to you except other weirdos.
