I'll never understand how anyone could say cities are ableist in the slightest. Less cars means you're more free to just go places, walking or otherwise, so it's safer for people with vision or hearing disabilities. More public transit means it's easier for everyone else to get places. If you can't use your legs, you can't drive anyway... Now you don't have to. Plus public transit costs a lot less to the user to do because you don't need to pay for a whole car and so on which is great for people with limited money options due to having a disability.
It's really dumb to say public transit and walkable cities is capitalist stink given that there's a really long recorded history of capitalist stinks trying to ban cities from being walkable... And it working... It's a big reason American cities suck so bad now.
I mean they’re not strictly speaking more accessible in an absolute sense because everyone has different, often conflicting, accessibility needs. What I need may be less accessible for you etc, but overall they are more accessible in that there’s far more options that provide far more opportunities for different strategies toward accessibility.
For example stairs might not be accessible for me, but if I go just fifty meters or so an elevator is right there, and there’s a ramp etc.
But everyone can't drive. I just don't see how cities=capitalism? What makes a suburb more socialist than a city?
The videos look at the facts and sources their claims, like actual budgets and where the money is coming from is shown.
If you aren't willing to look at the facts then maybe you shouldn't be talking about the subject?
Cities where stuff is close together and there's public transport is obviously better for disabled people than being stuck far away from everything and having to drive(which many people can't) to do anything?
