When people say that cities are the real polluters, I kinda want to laugh at them
Also, I fucking hate corn
The reason that cities produce so much less carbon despite having so many people is because there is less driving and more centralized power, the least carbon emitting places are cities with clean energy and an urban tree canopy as well as decent public transiy
What sources did you use @amtrak-official
I find it funny that I can say anything on this website without using a source until it implies that rural people aren’t perfect and actually do in fact harm the environment significantly

Okay so at the start of this month, I posted this image of San Francisco with the caption
“There be devils at work here”
From there the post became a debating point on whether American Urban Design is good or not on the basis of grids and downtowns being bad, the post has over 25,000 notes at the time of posting. I want to address a few things that are bothering me about the notes of that post
First of all are the people complaining about the lack of greenspace which is fair but this is not the whole city, the area shown in the picture is highlighted below over a larger map of San Francisco
As you can see there is a large amount of green space within and around the city, particularly Golden Gate Park which is larger than Central Park by almost 200 acres
Additionally while San Francisco does have issues with urban sprawl, it is also among the densest places in the US as the 24 densest city in the US and 2nd densest city with a population over 100k
And finally that is not a fucking photo of New York
